Helium! I just received my first $25.00. I know a lot of people who have been pay way more often than me, so my writing in probably not as good, but I really appreciate the earnings since I had three part-time jobs, lost 2, now only work 12 hours a week. So any amount of money that I can get from Mylot and Helium are a big help to me financially. Together, the two earnings, I can pay one bill. Now I have to figure out a way to pay three others.
With my new increased internet speed that will be coming, I may be able to make more money at each one and still have time to spare to try some of the other writing programs people have referred me to. Dial-up was so slow, I had all I could do to answer my friends here in a timely manner. Thanks and wish me luck on my next payouts. I wish you luck on yours.

I have yet to reach pay-out on Helium. However, I was on dial-up until recently, so that hampered my ability to get things done on many sites-- including Helium.

Yes it does seem much easier to reach payout even on Helium with high speed than dial up. Thanks and take care

Hey writersedge.
Congrats on getting your first payout at Helium! Good for you. Sorry to hear abut your continuing financial struggles.
Have you heard of the website called Odesk? There are many jobs there, some pay more than others. It is worth getting a profile up on there. Particularly if you are a good typist. There are quite a few writing jobs there also. Anyway, you might be able to pick up some jobs from Odesk.
I wish you the best of luck on all your internet work and writing. Thanks for wishing me the same. Take care.

Congrats on reaching the first payment. How much time did it take for you to reach the pay out? What are you planing to do with the money.

14 months (but after I found Mylot, I haven't done much there) and put it toward a bill.

Congratulations. I have never gotten paid by helium. But hopefully I do someday. Well as a college student I don't have to much too worry about but I still do have stuff to pay for. I also appreciate the money that I do get from mylot and from other places. I'm part of many survey sites which have all paid me and which help out a little bit. Thanks and good luck on your payout.
