Helium: Publishing Lite?
So, who writes for Helium? Is anyone making any money doing it? Seems to me a very hard way to make some scratch from a writing career. As I understand it, first your article gets rated by other Helium members. Then, if it’s rated high enough, it may get sold to a publisher of a magazine or Web sites. And I'm thinking they're not exactly paying Dan Brown rates.
I suppose Helium might be good for a little “shoe money.” And the exposure may be worth the effort. I'm looking for some real-life examples of real-life Helium writers. Or, maybe the whole thing is just a lot of hot air. Opinions?
