If you enjoy friendly competition, friendly people and would like to earn extra cash, then Helium would like to have you on their team!  Listed below are only a few of the many advantages that Helium has over other sites.  Read on to see what Helium has to offer and why writing at Helium could benefit you.

• Free to members

Helium is a community based site that is completely free to all of its members. Because of its continuing growth the staff at Helium are always hard at work to help make it the best site on the web it can possibly be.

• Helium pays

One of the biggest advantages of Helium is being part of its revenue share and up-front pay programs. Programs designed to get your original, non-exclusive work published on-line instantly and earn. This is why Helium is a popular site for young authors today. What is better than doing what you love to do and getting paid for it at the same time?

• Endless writing opportunities

Helium is not just a place to write and read and make a few extra dollars, it allows you to expand your knowledge at the same time. A world wide site offering an array of widely diverse topics, Helium titles include everything from cooking and camping to automotive and body repair.

You can find titles about religion, politics, arts and crafts, how to make a quilt, and the list goes on forever. If you can't find a topic that interests you, there are a number of ways that have been set up to handle just that. It's easy and it's fun.

Try submitting a new title. This process can take a few days but in the mean-time there is nothing boring about searching the site. You can do that by going to http://www.Helium.com

• Helium Zones and Forums

Helium also offers to its community members a free on-line forum. You can get all your technical and content questions answered here or if you are in the mood for a quite chat, the boards offer that as well. Be sure to stop by and introduce yourself to the community and join in on the latest debate or musing.

If you are not a serious writer but just want to make a quick buck, Helium probably is not the place for you.

However, if you are a serious writer interested in learning and growing, it is definitely what you've been looking for. Helium encourages new authors to ask questions, and invites seasoned pros to the table for discussion.

• Helium volunteers and mentors

The mentor program is designed to help authors (new or established) learn the ropes of on-line publication, but mentors do more than that.  They go above and beyond to help make those sinking articles get to the top.

But if you feel the mentor program isn't for you, there are still a number of  highly skilled and professional writers on site that would be glad to see you drop by to take a look at their profile. You're also invited to contact them if their are any questions you might have concerning your articles or just to say hello. 

You can contact anyone via their profile by clicking on the ‘contact this writer’  tab just below their picture.

If you are interested in becoming one of Helium's top notch professional writers simply go here to sign up and start writing and earning today.
