Sold my first article on Helium

June 11, 2009 4:37pm CST
I have been neglecting Helium so much lately, despite the increase in ad revenue. However today I got an email that one of my articles has been purchased through the stock content scheme through one of Helium's partners. I am so pleased as I never thought anyone would want any of my articles. Has anyone here sold an article at helium?

That is good news and let it pave way for more. My articles too had been sold there several times. Stocks content selling encourages to make extra effort to write more at Helium.

Hi Heartbreaker, congratulations, I have never sold any article through stock content! That's a very good news, very likely that the same partner will buy another article of yours in the same category.

What is the stock content scheme? Do you have to have a certain clout level with helium to be eligible to submit articles for this?

Hi Canellita, our articles in Helium are known as stock content. We can't delete the articles, even if we want to stop writing. All articles have likely chance of being pick up by Helium partners, once selected, the partner will pay Helium, and Helium will pay you. All articles are sold for "non-exclusive rights". I read in forum that article sold through stock content makes $5 to the writer.

How interesting. So I guess I should start submitting those titles and articles that could be sold as stock :-)

Hi Canellita, this stock content sales is very unexpected. I check out the forum in helium, and query about what kind of articles sell. Even those writers who sold articles do not know why their articles sell, some articles even rank very low in a title. And all come from different categories, so the only way is to write more, and pray hard.

I sold one article last month so I received my payout a few days ago. It is such a good feeling when some publisher wanted my article. If that did not happen, reaching the payout of $25 would take me a long time.
