While there may be many writers who simply can't find ideas to write about, Helium writers don't have that problem. They have, after all, stumbled across Helium. Why is that important? The truly amazing thing about Helium is the built-in inspiration. Writers at Helium get their inspiration from Helium itself.

Helium has twenty-six channels ranging from the arts to travel and virtually everything in between. Each channel has at the very least four sub-channels and some as many as fifteen. Within each sub-channel there are topics from which to choose and write to.

Take the Health and Fitness channel for example. On the Health and Fitness channel there are eighteen sub-channels. Taking one of these at random, Mental Health, we can find another twelve sub-sub-channels from which to choose. Click on Childhood Disorders and you can find fifty-nine topics for discussion. That's fifty-nine chances to get inspired. And that's just a drop in the bucket that is Helium.

Still don't get where Helium writers find inspiration?

Calculate it for yourself. It would be a waste of valuable time, of course, time you could be spending writing something useful, informative or amusing but that's your prerogative. So, add it up, if you can count that high, how many topics you can find to write about and you'll see there are not just hundreds nor thousands of titles at Helium but hundreds of thousands, darn close if not exceeding a million by now. To top it all off, if you find nothing that appeals to you for writing purposes you can actually submit an idea for yet another topic. Incredible!

Are you still wondering where Helium writers find their inspiration?

Helium writers come from all walks of life and with distinctly different points of view, experiences and talents. That in itself brings with it inspiration. Each person would be inspired by what they know of the world and how they live. That translates into a heck of a lot of inspiration and a load of writing getting done. And best of all, what they have to say in the written form to post at Helium, once it is read by others it has the oddest propensity to inspire others to do the same.

You still asking where Helium writers find inspiration?

Some folks come to Helium with a question in mind. How do I tell my kids about the birds and the bees? They click around and find far more than they thought possible, about thirty articles with advice but there are other topics in that channel for discussion that catch the eye. Some of these topics they know perfectly about and so they choose to write a few articles themselves. That seems like inspiration, doesn't it?

Then there are the people who like to read about everything under the sun. Helium is the perfect place for it. They read, they rate and strangely enough they say, "Hey, I can write about this too!" and then they do. That also sounds like inspiration.

Then there's the money angle. Contests and marketplace pay good money for those willing to comply with strict guidelines and deadlines. They give out the titles and you, if you have any knowledge of the topic can get writing and earning some money. Money, some say, is inspiration enough.

All this information on Helium, all these written articles, knowledge of the people, written by the people, for the people is astounding if you really think about it. It's like a miniature Library of Congress at your fingertips and you can contribute to it as much or as little as you please if you allow yourself to get inspired. Even if you don't write at Helium you can still reap the benefits of knowing of its existence.

In essence, when you ask where Helium writers find their inspiration, you have pretty much answered your own question.
