Helium is an excellent site to write for, but it takes time to find your way around it. Basically, you write articles to various titles. These articles are rated by other members, and you build up a Helium reputation. The better your reputation, the more you can earn. I'd advise you to go back to Helium and read the help pages and FAQs, as it's impossible to describe how the site works 'in a nutshell.' I will say it's worth the effort.

Helium will pay you so much per article (maybe a few cents or possibly a lot more) depending on how many views your article gets and your ratings. They also have contests where you can submit articles to publications for much larger amounts. Either way, you get paid something. But if you submit crappy articles, it will hurt your reputation there, so make sure you've got something to say on your topic.
