As a forty-one year old college student, who is currently supporting himself as a freelance writer, the news that Helium will soon by posting article titles for other venues is a welcome site. Being a freelancer is hard, and anything that gives me a chance to make more money is welcome.
Basically, what the Marketplace will provide us writers is a means to get some of our writing in syndication, earning us wider audiences and more pay. The professional review will also be welcome to many of the writers here; actually getting one of your articles though the process and used elsewhere will be a feather on one's resume.
My advice to those who are interested in getting their work seen by a wider audience is to treat it like any other writing opportunity. Do the best that you can. Double-check your facts, and make sure that you cite your sources. Pick a professional sounding pen-name that represents you as a writer. If you have a specialty that you are good at, make sure that you have listed it on your profile-it will increase your odds of getting your article accepted. Specialize-it is hard to be an expert in everything. And above all, have fun.
