Writing Online: Hubpages vs. Helium

I second Casimiro - now that Helium has undergone such a huge change, it would be a good idea to revise this Hub to reflect the new setup. Since our Hubs aren't dated, many people will assume this Hub is current.

How have your earnings been on Helium since the relaunch?

Great info on Helium, thanks for that! Looks like this must've been written a while ago (mention of $100 payout threshold on HP), so perhaps you could do a refresh and tell us how your experience on Helium is going.

Nice information. I got deep knowledge for source to get money online especially blog/websites that give us chance to get benefit from them. Thanks Habee

Great Hub! I just signed up at Helium, but I wasn’t sure if it was for me. This explained some of the questions I was wondering about. Thanks!

Thanks for the useful information!

Hi Habee. Thank you for such a wealth of information so freely give. It is greatly appreciated.

Voted up / Interesting / Following.

Great Hub! You have managed to answer most of the questions I had regarding Helium vs. Hubpages in one awesome Hub:)

Great advice! I really needed this information! Vote up!

Enjoyed your post. very nice. keep up the good work.

Thank you for the information! I have heard of Helium but didn't know much about it. It's great to have some more in sight!

thanks for your nice information.Time to write some quality content to make some money.

Gosh your hub made me check out Helium, unfortunately Helium doesn't offer member registration for my country. I guess it must be for the US only. Still, I'm glad there's Hubpages :D

habee....sorry, I've not been on HP too much the last several weeks. Anyway, I would put Squidoo and Hubpages on an equal level. I make much more money on Squidoo but I've been there longer and have more content there too. I think they are a great compliment to each other.

I have met plenty of chefs, artists, photographers, crafters, home schoolers, and so forth on Squidoo, but few future novelists. But the community is strong there also.

Hats off to you, Habee, for writing such a well-written, informative, great hub article! Thanks for the information. I will definitely remember and use your advice!

Great hub. I didn't know that much about Helium. Thanks for the information.

I am already a member of Helium, I dont know why I haven't gone into it more. Thanks for your informative article Habe

Sure, that would be awesome!!

Hi Habee,

This hub came up first when I logged in today. No wonder you're making good money -- almost 700 hubs and you've only been here 15 months AND you still find time to be active in the forums!

Great piece of advice.

I was invited to join Helium in 2008 or so (I forget -- didn't do it at the time). But I respect your judgment.

Question: What is your experience with/opinion of DemandStudios?

Thx, MM

Great info, did not know Helium. Thanks

Very well explained and I agree with you. Making money easily on the internet is not all that difficult. One needs to write something that is useful to surfers.

Can I post the article I bought from Helium in more than one of my sites?

Pretty informative article, will check Helium as well.

Vote UP & Awesome! Hi habee, I'm very happy to hear that you're earning substantially online. Continued success!...

Did not knew about helium. Will check it out. Thanks

I have not tried helium. thanks for all the info!

great info. - thanks!

Helpful information! As a newbie, I really appreciate it!

Good article, I've never been to or heard of Helium before this. Thanks!

I have made significant money on Helium, over $400! However, my overall percentage is donw so far now I cannot compete in the Marketplace. That is an extreme downside to the site. It is easier to make some money, but annoying the way your articles can get rated down and it is so hard to get them back up.

I haven't tried Helium yet but I keep hearing great things about it. Thanks for the info; I may have to look into that!

Great information. I personally like HubPages better. Voted up and useful. Thanks

Just started hubbing. I like this!

Very informative...thanks.

nice....think im going to give helium a try..thanks for the info!!

Hello! I like your avatar. Great picture! I enjoyed reading your article. It is very helpful. I just started an account with hub pages. I have four posts. I hope I am headed in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I have not signed-up google adsense, yet.

Thanks!

Great article and thanks. It is really important to read the fine print on the agreement on Helium and decide if it is right for you. If you are working with a publisher check with them as well since most publishers want exclusive rights.

I did some writing on Helium, enjoyed the work and enjoyed rating as well, but for some reason the articles never showed up on search engines like hubs do. I also didn't do enough to get my "badges" and "stars" so couldn't do the marketplace work which seems to be the only way to make money on that site. You, on the other hand, have managed to do all that - way to go girl!!!

Any idea why the Helium articles don't show up on search engines habee?

Habee, what a well written article you have here. Thank you for the heads up about Helium. I have just joined this site today, as it was suggested on wikinut by a writer. I started writing on Wikinut ( Under Denise O)a little over a month ago, I like it but, the money is slow coming in.

I am not doing this to make big time bucks but, it sure would be nice to be paid something more than peanuts.

Once again, thank you for the info.

Great post. Thanks for the Info.

Will certainly look into joining Helium and will do so through you. Busy with our Bed and Breakfast at the moment, serious writing and computer skills will be a winter task. Many thanks.

Great Info. Thank You

Never thought I could earn from writing articles. Thanks for this comparative type of hub.

Thanks for this informative review of Hubpages and Helium. May i ask if you also write on Squidoo. And if yes, where does Squidoo stand as compared to the two sites you reviewed here.

Best!

Interesting, I never even heard of helium before. It seems like HubPages is better for me anyway but it was certainly an informative comparison. Don't know about Helium but I like the community feel here. Also, I know that the search engines like good hubs!

Awesome post! I love writing online and had no idea about Helium. Going to give it a try right now. Thanks!

I keep meaning to go back and re-activate my account. I've been spread thin, trying to write for 4 different sites and keep a business blog going. I didn't have success in the past with the marketplace the way you have.

thank you so much...your hub was very, very helpful. I am a member of both hubpages and helium and was very lost on how to use both of them. I think your hub was very insightful.

Habee, thanks for an insightful hub. I have not explored Helium yet but will look into this as a complement to the excellent Hubpages. WestOcean.

I started with Helium but stopped writing there after finding HubPages. I think I'll go back and check out the marketplace though, I had started to look into it but got addicted to HubPages...lol.

Thanks for sharing about both. Great help for writers!

Thanks habee, I will keep that in mind as the prices offered I've noted are not bad... Peace :)

Hi Habee,

I was not knowing much about Helium.

I want to join that.

Great hub for online money.

Thanks

There is so much to learn! I have clicked on my Google ads... I didn't know... Yikes! Thanks for the warning about this!

I will also check out Helium! Thank you!
