This is awesome guys, Helium has come up with new ways to encourage their writers to write more. Today Janice, one of the administrators of the site announced that there will be upfront payments for articles published as long as you have a star. This means that as soon as your article is published you will be earning already, even if no one has viewed it yet. The Upfront payment will depend upon your stars. The higher the stars the more upfront payment you'll receive.
There will also be a new writing star specifically for the creative section only.
It is only in this site that writers get to rate other writer's articles, AND now they also are giving cash incentives for those with rating stars.
The marketplace is where advertisers request for articles and in the old method, when your article is not bought, it goes back to your regular articles without any payment. Now, these articles will have "kill fees" which will allow you to earn according to your writing stars,even if the article was not bought by the advertiser. Aren't these all amazing developments?
I write and get paid even if someone has not yet viewed my article! These are timely as who doesn't need an extra source of income?
I have been with two more writing sites, and I can say that no one and nothing can beat Helium!
Five stars for Helium!

Five stars to helium! So many new developments and it is all making me excited. I wish I could spend more time to work at Helium and earn more. I will have to work hard to earn more writing stars, rating stars and of course for the market polace because of the "Kill fees". Your post has made me know it all as I did not check the site for these details.

I have just read the announcement at Helium and I'm very happy. I have 5 rating stars and 3 writing stars, so now I will be making even more money every month at Helium!
I had another Marketplace article accepted yesterday, and that has taken my earnings for this month over $100.
I fully agree with you there is no better site if you want to develop as a writer. Helium helps us to learn about writing for the internet and helps us to improve our skills. It offers us a real future in freelance writing.
