Helium Now Offering Writers Upfront Payments

Writers Needed- No Experience Necessary- Make $250/hr

I don't know if Helium has been feeling the heat of Associated Content's recent "success", but they are now offering writers a chance to get upfront payments. Helium is obviously trying to catch up with their competitors, Associated Content (which is another writing website that pays writers for content).

This could be considered good news to writers who are looking for an alternative to Associated Content, which has been getting thumbs down recently because of their low payments, which has dropped to an average of $3-$4 an article. But if you are looking for a tasty treat alternative from Associated Content, stop dead in your tracks.

Helium once attracted writers by allowing them to make money through revenue sharing. I am NOT of fan of revenue sharing at all, as you do not know whether you are being paid fairly. So helium is now providing a whooping $2.50 as an upfront payment for each article produced. Is this better than Associated Content?

I would say no for the following reasons; Associated Content checks content frequently. If you write at least 3 articles a day, you could be paid on a daily basis and you may be able to increase your average payment per article from $4 an article to $6. You do not have to be an excellent writer or have a degree to jump into making money this way; however many people still think $4 is pretty low for a 400-500 word article.

Also, Helium will only pay you $2.50 per article if you have at least 'two stars'; whatever that means. Obviously, Helium wants you to prove yourself as a decent writer first before you are "awarded" the chance to be paid $2.50 per article in upfront payment. This is not a lot of money, but if you are looking for another writing site to make some cash, this can be your ticket.
