Articles on Helium
Following are some articles which will provide you further information on Helium and will also describe its benefits and excellency.
Article No 1: How to Make the Most Out of Helium by Writing Articles by Sean Raymond
Helium is really a great place to write articles, not only for making money but also for sharing your knowledge.
As we know, Helium will pay the money for your articles based on how many people have read them and how well the articles are. So, it quite easy for us to make a conclusion that we can improve our earning by publishing the high quality articles to Helium to increase the pay rate of your articles or trying to write the articles for the Hot topic in Helium to attract more readers.
I can not teach you how to write high quality articles here, but below are some guide about how to find out the hot topic from Helium.
1. Go to the first pages of Helium, if you find that you might have some different thoughts for the articles listed there, I would like to recommend you to write an article under the same topic. The key reason is that the articles listed in the first page always get more traffic than those hidden in the deeper link of the web site.
2.Another method is to search Helium for the Key Word you want to write articles for. You will see a list of topics from Helium after the searching. I suggest you to write for at least the first top 10 topics in the list. Imaging it, when the reader want to read the articles related to some specific Key Word, they will go to Helium and search the word, and the articles they are most possible to read will be those listed in the top list of the searching result. Just like the way you use Google.
I have tried above method in Helium, and I did see my earning increased very fast. And hope this method will apply to you as well.
Associated Content
Associated Content is like Helium pays you for writing articles. The biggest disadvantage is that its money program is only open for U.S residents. And the best advantage is that it pays more than any other site in this field. It pays between $3 -20 for one article but only to U.S residents. This site is a great source of extra income for U.S residents because by writing 5 quality articles monthly, they can earn up to $100 which is great.
Articles on Associated Content
Following are some articles on Associated Content which will provide you further information on Associated Content and its benefits.
Article No 1: Make Money Online by Writing Articles for Associated Content by Jennifer Gardner
Do you like to write? Do you like to making a profit? If you answered yes to either question, you should check out Associated Content. Associated Content is a website that allows you to sign up as a content producer for free. Once you’re signed up, you can begin to profit from your writing in multiple ways. To simplify matters, I’ll just tell of my experience when signing up for this excellent opportunity.
I signed up a little over a month ago. I’d already experienced Helium.com and tried my pen out at Constant Content. I’d published about thirty articles at Helium and still have not made the minimum twenty-five dollars required for payment. Helium pays by click but doesn’t offer initial payments for articles. I submitted two articles to constant content.com but they were both harshly rejected. But I’ve had much better luck with Associated Content. Once signed up, I began contributing articles. I started with two, and within a few days, I had offers on those stories. My offers weren’t incredibly big (just eight dollars between the two of them) but I felt like I’d hit a single on my first at bat. I accepted the offers and submitted more. The articles you write can be about anything you like. My forte is humor and satire so I often submit under the humor category. AC doesn’t pay that much for humor, if they pay at all, but I’ve had luck getting most of my humor stories accepted with initial offers. Initial offers for stories range from three dollars to fifty dollars. If you know how to write what people want to read, you’re guaranteed to make a profit from Associated Content.
Associated Content pays a standard flat rate of five dollars per news article, and four dollars per research paper. Finally, I found a place for all of those old college papers I slaved over the night before they were due. It’s only four dollars, but if you have a handful, the money can add up.
But the earnings from AC don’t stop there. They have what they call a Performance Bonus. This means your stories earn more money depending on how many times they’ve been viewed. In my experience, you can earn a dollar for approximately every 600-700 hits a story attains. If you have a real popular story, these hits can add up. Once you make fifteen dollars in performance bonus, you get paid. All of AC’s payment is made immediately via paypal.
Associated Content is hands down the best website to write for if you intend to make a profit. They oftentimes give you an initial payment for your work (which you can offer to them both exclusively and non-exclusively) and on top of that, your articles can continue to earn you money through the performance bonus. You can especially earn extra money if you promote your own work through social bookmarking sites and via other blogs and myspace.
I have about fifteen stories at Associated Content, and my initial offers have gained me nearly fifty dollars. That’s not including my fifteen dollar performance bonus which can continue to earn me money in months to come. Even if AC doesn’t offer an initial payment, you can still publish your story for free and earn money by the hits it receives. If promoted well, an article you submit for free can still make a nice profit.
On top of everything else, Associated Content has a very active forum full of helpful members, willing to offer advice and tips on achieving the most you can from the website. It is, by far, the best writing community out there. The extra money is just frosting on the cake.
Article No 2: Make Money With Your Writing by Llewellen Banks
If you can write clearly than you can make money with your writing. Writing has always been an excellent way to make money from home. Traditionally people wrote for magazines and newspapers, but with the advent of the Internet, new opportunities for writers have opened up. There are Web sites, ezines, weblogs, and ebooks all of which can make an enterprising writer money.
Sell Your Articles Online
If you have confidence in your writing ability then you can write articles on any subject that interests you and sell them to companies online. Studies show that people look for information on the Internet. If you have special skill or knowledge about computers, marketing, cooking, saving money or getting fit, then you can sell your knowledge.
Two places to start are Associated Content and Constant Content.
Associated Content (www.associatedcontent.com) allows you to sign up for free. You then submit your article into the form and within a few days or weeks you can get an offer for your article. You can offer exclusive rights meaning that you give all right to Associated Content or AC as it is sometimes called. You can also give non-exclusive rights to AC. This means that the same article can be sold again and again to different companies, not just to Associated Content. Reselling the same article is one of the best ways to make money as a writer. AC pays you though Paypal which most people find more convenient than waiting for a check to be mailed.
Constant Content (www.constant-content.com) works a little differently. Sign-up is free and you can submit your articles on the Constant Content or CC form. But with CC you only make money if the article is sold to a third-party. Constant Content is more of a middle-man and a place where you can showcase your writing. Constant Content gets 35% of all sales. (Originally it was 50%.) One good thing about CC is that you get to name your price. If you want to sell exclusive rights to your article for $25 or $100 then do it. If you want to sell non-exclusive rights for $12 then that is your choice and every time some buys your article you make $12, minus the commission to CC. One thing to note- CC has a $50 threshold. You will be paid via Paypal only when your account balance reaches $50 or more.
Calls for Submissions
Both Associated Content and Constant Content have sections on their websites listing articles wanted. Companies in need of stories on particular subjects will have a call for submissions that discusses the topic, the word count and the amount the company will pay. If you are interested simply write the article and submit it as you would any article. If your article is accepted you will be paid for your work.
Associated Content and Constant Content are two ways you can start earning money with your writing. As your confidence and clips (published article) increase, you can move on to more lucrative markets like magazine or newspapers. It is possible to make a full time living as a freelance writer. With writing skill and perseverance you can make money with your writing.
