If you have read your e-mail from Helium or read their official blog, Helium is going to do some changes to the way the writers submitting articles, partly to solve the problem of duplicated submission, and partly to faces the new changes of Google.
The details is not yet released, but what do you think about this?

Honestly, I won't know until I actually try it. Only time will tell on how this will work out. If it proves to be beneficial, then probably that would get people writing. If not, then it could be going back to the drawing board. I'm taking a wait and see on how things go and I'm going to try it to make payout every 2 weeks.

Hi,i have not received the email about the new change.
Because i am new to the site,i still not familiar about its rules. Since you have been there for a long time. could you please tell me, is it very hard to write to marketplace and get purchased? well, i think it is hard. I have done writing tasks for so many times. and my articles have never been rejected. but my one of my articles to marketplace is turned back to helium. i think i have worked very hard on it. by the way, for the same title, there are two articles submitted. will it mean that they only select one? well,i still don't know what will be the fate of the other article of mine. but to tell the truth, i lose my confidence in it. actually, lots of people said that in helium you earns much slow and less than in other sites. i went to that only for the character, i mean sell article directly. now i know it is very hard.

I must say that writing in Helium is not easy. However, compared to many other sites, it is also paying most. English is only my second language, but I still got many articles accepted by Helium, so I do think that although this is no easy job, the job is not too difficult to be finished.
When there are more than one articles submitted to a title, the one with highest rating will be paid $2 (in case it is title for normal writers), the other will be paid $1.
Yet, mind that this is only the case for articles accepted by Helium. Your article will be rejected if there are too many gramatical or spelling mistake. Also, articles must be written in second or third person view. (i.e., words like "I", "we", "our", "us" should not be found in your articles) For some channanel, you must also include the source you have used in the article in order to get accepted. As I remember, science, auto and Health and fitness channel require you to do so.
Hope this help you understand the site more.

Well I guess now we are just about a week and a half into the newest incarnation of the system and at this point in time I am still not really all that sure about it. I've submitted three assignments at this point in time and two out of my three articles have been accepted for the incentive pay. However, I really don't like the fact that most of the categories that I've written to are only assignments for revenue share.
Yes, I know that revenue share does build over time, but it isn't paying the bills right now.
