Helium Starting up Again?? / myLot

United States

February 5, 2018 3:17pm CST

I just found out that Helium is asking for freelancers for writing and other skills. Helium went out of business years ago and apparently are starting up again. I am having problems signing in. Are you a former Helium writer? Are you interested in signing up or rejoining? It is Helium Network, if you are interested. Note, I am getting nothing for mentioning Helium.

I remember Helium but do not recall if I had an account or not.

If you had an account, they show a place to sign in unless you were there before and deleted the account.

@Courage7 You don't lose anything by checking it out. It could be a new source of writing income. I don't know, too early to tell. MyLot will always come first. Helium is a writing site and myLot is a discussion site.

I remember hearing about helium, but was never a member. Are they back up officially? I may be interested in joining if they stick around and if its worth it.

You could always sign up and see how things go. I am having trouble signing in.

@akalinus Unless I know that it is going to be worth my time, I don't have the patience or time to sign up right now.

Hmmm! I was never with them, but I remember when it was all the rage at one time - but then they went out. So they're back - I'll have to look into that!!

@akalinus Oh, that does sound very different from what I remember people saying.

I don't think it is the same. They have project managers and you sign up for a specific article or project. You have to negotiate the pay, also. It is not for everyone.

I wrote for them many years ago. I think I'll just write here.

Never signed up with them but heard stories about the site. If they do go up again, I hope they would pay for contribution as well.

It says you negotiate a price with a project manager.

@allen0187 I think they changed the rules in the middle of the game and not all of us realized that.

I'm not familiar with Helium. What kind of writing site is it? Is it like MyLot? Did you earn well there?

Seriously? I was with Helium when it went down. I know I deleted all my articles before it ended. I don't recall deleting my account but don't remember the sign in.

I don't know my sign-in either. I downloaded a lot of my better articles. I wrote a lot of awful articles and was glad to see them go. My best articles were on science and animals.
