Remembering Helium

Tweet

I was inspired by a post I read from the other site about the site that first led me there to begin with. That site was Helium, and it's where I first started to write for profit. I joined Helium 7 years and one month (and about 11 days) ago before they offered their upfront payments that really got me writing there. I loved the idea of passive revenue and it's the thing I've missed about it the most. Not having to interact everyday and being able to walk away for months (as long as there was at least 1 rating star) and still getting paid. I didn't make a lot, but enough to get paid once a month, and most of the time not having to post anything after a certain point! Of course like all things it deteriorated, and when they changed their site over to a new layout, it was the beginning of the end. That's why I was worried when the other site went to change its layout, I was pretty sure lightning was about to strike twice. And it did. I was a channel manager and a fact checker over at Helium for a short time before the site changed. I used to participate in the contests and even have a mouse pad I still use from Oktoberfest in 2012. I wish the site had managed to last longer, but all things end. I'm still hopeful to get passive income back into my life. I think it is a great thing to have.
