HOW TO GET PAID TO WRITE ARTICLES FOR HELIUM.COM

Although there are a lot of other writing sites on the net Helium is the best one. Some sites charge you to be a member or join, Helium is totally free to use. The site is well thought out, easy to use, very well explained and there is a help section for any queries. You can also ask for a mentor if you feel very confused or have a lot of queries. As with all new sites it can seem a bit daunting at first but if you persevere with it and read things a bit at a time it all becomes clear quite quickly. Some of it is common sense the rest is all there in black and white for you to read when you get to it. You need to have a paypal account so that Helium.com can pay you. This should not be a problem it only takes minutes to set one of these accounts up. Then it is up to you if you would rather leave your earnings to build up or collect them in dribs and drabs quickly as soon as you earn them.

But the beauty of using Helium.com is that you can not only enjoy writing and reading you can also get paid to write. The best way to get paid to write for Helium.com is to look up topics which have less than 5 articles and fill an empty slot. If you have one writing star you immediately earn something, but many people are happy to write articles on topics which have more than 5 articles already because they not only enjoy writing the articles and wish to share their knowledge, but they wish to earn a residual income from their articles. As they write more articles their residual income increases and it can continue to increase at whichever speed suits you for as long as suits you. That is the beauty of it, each person has a different lifestyle and different ambitions, and you can tailor make the site to suite your needs. If you only wish to earn a few dollars then just do it very part time now and then. If you need to take it more seriously because you need the money, or you love writing and want to treat it as a career, then make sure you spend more time on it and earn a lot more. To make sure you earn a good residual income choose topics that are of interest to a lot of people as the more people who read your articles the more you earn.

Helium.com also pays you if you introduce others to the site by giving you 5% of whatever they earn. This may not sound like much but it is money for nothing, literally. All you will have done is introduce someone and then you leave the rest to them. If they turn out to be a Heliumite who churns out a lot of good quaity articles that people like to read you might earn quite a bit from that.

So as you can see, you can earn money by writing articles, from a residual income and by introducing other writers to the site. If you are wise you will do all three.
