Helium, is a website for writers. A site on which it is possible to write about practically any subject. The aim, as stated by the site owners, is to make Helium the number one source for information on the Internet.
Helium, has a few interesting twists to it, which helps manage the integrity of the site and information.
All articles, once submitted, are subject to voting in comparison to other articles on the same subject. So poor articles drop and better articles rise to the surface.
Debates can be instigated with writers submitting articles to support their point of view, once again articles can be rated against each other.
Articles are commissioned by magazines, journals, bloggers etc. The commissioning client makes the final selection, of course, but the articles are again rated against each other. The commissioned article is then paid for by the commissioning client. Articles selected earn upwards of US$20.00
In addition, revenues from the site are shared with article writers. Articles earning a weighting for their level in comparison to other similar articles and earning in relation to the traffic the article subject draws top the site.
It is a great place to develop writing skills, whilst simultaneously receiving payment.
Writing in Helium, is not like writing on a blog, as the articles are generally longer and more formally structured.
If you enjoy writing, or want to develop your writing skills, I would say Helium is a great place to go.
Having checked it out, I will certainly continue to write on Helium
