Helium proposes to make you work hard for your pay. It is one of the best writers support groups online. Helium is a group of amateur and professional writers showing their best to the internet and to outside publishers that have the opportunity to receive monies for their publications.

Helium has contests that pay quite generously. The articles for publishing in the 'Marketplace' are very diverse and most take some researching and effort to get published and receive pay.

Helium has a writers forum that covers every topic imaginable. Helium members rate all of the articles that are submitted by a rating process that the writers are anonymous and the person rating is comparing two articles regarding the same subject matter. I believe these factors make a rating more true to content, grammer and writing style.

As far as articles being lost or not getting paid is a subject that should be addressed in the forum section. All articles are subject to rules and regulations of the writing world.

Helium is also one of the best resources for getting one's name into the search engines. I joined in May 2008 and googled my name in june and I already had 4 hits at the top of the page.

Join Helium, work hard, do your research and get your grammer correct and you will make money and get your name out into cyber world.
