I just sold an article on Constant Content!

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 17 Mar 07

I didn´t think I would ever actually sell an article there, but I logged in just now and there it was, sold! It was a silly article, too, on how to make a gift basket for your dog, but someone paid $15 for it! Although I only get...

themooster Yes you can join if you're in the UK. I live in England and have sold lots of work on this site. Some articles are on there for ages before they sell, but others have sold within minutes! It's a great place to sell your work, but get yourself familiarised...

lillake @lillake (1630) • United States 25 Feb 07

themooster Helium doesn't edit your articles. They go live as soon as you write them. The only time that's different is when you create a new topic, then they review it and they might ask you to edit it, but they don't change it themselves.

I've found Helium to be a goldmine

mainman195 @mainman195 (186) • United States 3 Mar 07

I've been looking for an opportunity to make some part-time money like I can on Helium for a long time. I don't understand how come some people are there who just want to write and not make income. I want to do both. I would...

themooster I agree - Helium takes a while to get going, but once it does, it's worth it! I've just had my second payout and it was far easier to reach than it was the first time.

Help! How do you get bolognese stains out of a cotton duvet cover?

themooster @themooster (74) 21 Feb 07

I knew it would happen. Clumsy old me dropped her spaghetti bolognese on the duvet cover. It's 100% cotton, and cream in colour. I've washed it on a hot wash straightaway, but it's still stained. Any ideas? I can't be the first...

themooster Thanks for your response. I ended up trying Stain Devils No.5, which gets out cooking oils and sauces, among others. I've just soaked it and it's completely vanished. I am so happy! lol So just for future reference, Stain Devils rule!

themooster Pocket money and information, I think. I've found that by searching for topics of interest I can gain a lot of new information, especially about online writing, which I do myself. I've found a lot of new sites this way, and I share the ones I've found too.

What's the biggest number of referrals you've got? Active or otherwise?

themooster @themooster (74) 2 Feb 07

I'm new to this and hoping to get plenty of referrals to bump up my earnings. One so far - woo hoo! lol I was wondering who has the most referrals, and how you got them?

themooster Thanks for your response - I was puzzled as to why the top referrers page doesn't tell you how many each person has referred. Surely it's not that big a secret..?

Will many answers make more money?

Miriel @Miriel (1041) • Norway 2 Feb 07

I was just wondering if many answers to a discussion will make more money to the disucssion starter? Does anybody know?

3 responses

themooster How do you know? I'm not doubting you but everyone seems to have different answers! lol So basically the more popular the discussion, the more you will get paid for it?

Is writing a decent career choice?

aplacetorest @aplacetorest (25) • United States 18 Jan 07

I have a very big passion for writing because it is a wonderful way to communicate with others. You can tell a story, write a song, a letter or even a symphony. The way I choose is through letters. I have been hesitant to...

themooster For me it's not a career choice, it's what I love to do. I'm lucky enough now after 16 years of doing it for publication, that I am earning more from it and gradually it is becoming a main source of income. I also love sites like Mylot though, because I can...
