How many Helium members are there on mylot?

June 12, 2007 8:33am CST
Hi all, just wondering how many members of Helium.com there are on this site. I know there are some similarities between the two, well not many really, but I enjoy using the two to bounce around on the internet. So if you are a fellow Helium addict, please drop a line and say hello, it may mean more people will visit your Helium page:-) My home page is at: www.helium.com/user/show/180869 Why not drop by and take a look All the best J.

I have signed up there, and such, but not really done anything with them yet. I guess I need to submit some stuff there sometime, and give them a chance, but have not done so yet. I did check out some of the stuff you Wrote on there. The one about the VW was interesting.

Thanks for reading some of my stuff, hope you get some articles up and running soon, look forward to reading them.

I just joined. So I guess I am a member now. I am writing a novel. No, not right now. At this moment, I am on myLot giving my response to your information about Helium. This is the first place I heard about it, but God must be answering my prayers. I was looking for places to write online and get paid and now I've found them. Thanks!!!

LOL, glad you found what you are looking for. Good luck with making money, it won't make you a millionaire overnight, but it will trickle in slowly. All the best, J.

jakester519, I am not yet a member in Helium but I did browse through it briefly today. It works somehow like AC and I guess AC pays more. But like you said AC only accepts US residents as member, so I have no chance as I am living in Hong Kong. I'd love to start writing when I have my career break later the year and I think Helium would be a good place to practice, what do you think? And what about the earnings? You think mylot is better or Helium is better? Sorry for many questions, I have always wanted to talk to someone with real experience with the two sites. Mind sharing?

Interesting. Thanks for your detailed explanation! I would really seriously consider about it. I think Helium is rather new too, right? I see some of their categories have no articles at all.

It really dependes on what you want to get out of writing on the net. I like Helium as it allows to release your creativeness and get rated by others and they have some very interesting articles also. Mylot is great for just getting things off your chest and testing the waters about subjects. Earnings wise you definately see quicker results with Mylot, but it looks that for a more long term approach then Helium may work out better as your articles keep earning the pennies long after you have written them. Hope this helps you out and if you need an invite to helium just drop me message with your e-mail. All the best, J.

I'm a member of Helium. But, I've only posted, I think, 4 articles. And I haven't done much with it since. My earnings there (in almost a year and 4 articles) is only about $3. I found a place to write articles where you actually get paid per article, so that's where I've done my writing. Personally, I think it's a lot better than helium. Here's the link: http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=37890

I joined associated content also, haven't managed to come up with anything there as they will only allow USA members, living in the UK means I miss out on that.

Hi, I too am a member of Helium. I started last year and posted 82 articles. I received my first payment of $25 last month. I love the way they have started debates and that they are removing the shorter and less well written articles. I have quite a few top articles but I haven't had time to write for a while. My home page is www.helium.com/user/show/33667

It is always good to hear when people make the payment from these sites. Heres to many more payouts for you and if you keep getting the top spots I can imagine that they will keep flowing into your paypal account. All the best, J.

Hi Jakester. :) It's nice to see so many Heliumites here on MyLot! I've been with Helium since November of last year. Yeah, I'm hooked! Serious Helium addiction going on right here! LOL I've made many friends on Helium that I email and chat with on the phone; and since we share the love of words, I feel these friendships will last a very long time. I also enjoy meeting people from all over the world. Anyway, just wanted to say Hey! to some of my fellow Heliumites!! BTW, if anyone is wondering about payouts over there at H, I can assure you that they DO pay. I have like 83 articles on Helium, and have requested, and received payout with no problems whatsoever. Here's my link if anyone's interested: www.helium.com/user/show/28870 I've read most of everyone's articles who have their links listed and wanted ya'll to know that I enjoyed them very much! Happy writing! :)

Sorry for the long delay in responding Suthrnsmooth, had a little holiday in Ireland. I must say I am VERY far away from payout on Helium at the moment, but hope that I can contribute some good articles and earn a little more. I think it is the same here though, people do it for the love of writing rather than for the money. Good luck on both sites. J.

Hi Jakester; That's quite alright. We all need a holiday occasionally. As you can see I've not been around much either. Unfortunately for me it's a time management issue (because I never seem to have enough!) and not a splendid holiday away. Okay, so I'm a little jealous. :D Good luck to you as well my friend; and may the words never stop flowing!

I have written quite a bit for Helium, though my writing there slowed down after I found MyLot, and only picked back up recently. My page is: http://www.helium.com/user/show/73050

Yeah, it feels like I am making money faster here, and for much shorter contributions. I don't have much time to write full-length articles any more, unfortunately. :(

It is difficult to try and come up with the length of articles they require on Helium sometimes. At least here as you have said, you can write a much smaller amount and see an instant(ish) rise in the money you make. Good luck on both sites.
29 Jun 07
Sorry for the long delay in responding, have spent some time in Ireland. It's interesting that your writing slowed down when starting here. Is it because you get immediate feedback here on Mylot and can see the pennies coming in rapidly.

Hi there! I love helium. It's good to see of the others on here. Come for a visit some time: www.helium.com/user/show/125026. I write a lot of poetry, but a lot of other stuff as well.

I wish I could write poetry well, I just seem to lose the plot halfway through and all sense of style and prose leaves me. Never mind, I will keep trying and hope that some of my stuff works it's way up through the ratings. Good luck with Helium and well done with your stuff so far. All the best, J.

For me...poetry is just what spills out of my head. I just write because I NEED to write. It's relaxing and helpful for me to write.

Hi Jakester519, I'm a "fellow helium addict" as you call us. Which is actually pretty accurate, in my case anyway. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to let everyone know that I just started here after being a Helium member since June 20th. So hello and glad to make your acquaintance. Hope that www.helium.com/user/show/229357 does get more visits. I have 13 articles as of this minute on a variety of subjects. I'll check yours and a few others out, too. Thank you very much!!!!
19 Jul 07
Hi fellow addict ;-) and hope you like this place as much as Helium. It is so different in all aspects, but still just as much fun. All the best and I am now off to check your stuff, I hope everyone who has left a link here gets more hits for their articles. Regards, J.

Hi I have been writing on the Helium site since the end of May, and I also have submitted articles to constantcontent and Triond. I have only just started using myLot, still trying to get my head around how it works. There just isn't enough hours in the day to keep up with all these profiles, blogs,articles etc. LOL Still, it is fun trying. If you want to have look at my articles and let me know what you think I would apprieciate it greatly. As this site won't let me cut and paste (bit mad that I think, esp. with no spell checker on the site, just do a search under my handle pablothehat. Cheers ;-D

Hi and welcome to Mylot, I will definately take a look for your stuff on Helium. I know what you mean about there being so many things to do on the old WWW, and it definately is good fun. I just think the money is a little bonus and it's great to get it from something I would do for free anyway. Good luck with mylot, hope to see more of you around here, all the best, J.

Hey there Jakester! I am a relatively new Heliumnite. I just found out we are not supposed to have links in posts (?), so I posted my web site on my myLot profile page, and I have a link to my Helium articles from my web site. Hey, maybe I should add a Helium link to my myLot profile too! CH
31 Aug 07
OOOPs, didn't realise we couldn't put links in. I hope Mylot don't treat me too harshly as there have been many response to this. Will look you up on Helium and check your articles out, thanks for the response, J.

Hi again, I was wondering if you had any more news on the whole link issues, have you been "told off" by any one yet?

Hey again! I am not so positive that what I told you is right; however, I have had two folks tell me I wasn't supposed to include afilliate web links in a post! So, since I had already started a post, with my web site link in it(!), I went ahead and contacted myLots admin. to let them know it was a mistake. Right now my post is still there, but I think they are going to remove it. So, now, back to putting the web links on the profile! Thanks and good luck!

I am also a Helium member :) I've only earned some cents so far but I really like the idea behind the site. Only problem is I don't have many ideas on what to write about :(
31 Aug 07
I'm sure that you will find many more items and ideas, I too have problems in finding things to write about and keep looking for inspiration everywhere. I try and keep a notebook of things I see during the day, this can sometimes break the block that we all come up against. All the best, J

I have a helium account, but it isn't very successful! lol. I only have like 40 cents which sucks. I tried making my own article titles...but 6/8 got rejected! I'm trying to mkae new titles for them but all those get rejected too lol. I hope I find one's that work for them!
12 Jun 07
I have managed to make 1 article title, didn't realise they could bet rejected, mine was for "poems for children". Do you get more money for titles then? Never mind, it's never going to make us rich is it. I like the fact that you write once and the pennies keep trickling in, whereas here you must write once per penny. More fun this way, but easier the other LOL.

Hi Julian, sorry for not responding earlier, have had a little holiday away from all things computers! I also like the challenges of Helium and following the ratings is one of the biggest challenges I find. Now if only I could make my articles go up in the ratings instead of the other way round. All the best, J.

I love the quote on your about me page about everyone fighting some kind of battle, it really made me think more about how I was being around people, especially if they were sometimes being a little obstructive. 29 articles and rising on Helium, WOW, keep up the good work, best regards, J.

Wow! Great articles! Puts me to shame lol. I have been writing in Helium since August and have made $1.18. Its slow going but I love writing, and I am learning all the time. Its not really for the money, but it does help. Sometimes it is satisfying, especially if I leapfrog and I see my article slowly creeping up in the ratings!! Keep up the great work!!!
