What is Helium?

Well, since this site is based on Helium and making money from there, I suppose I should explain what the site is for those who do not know.

As their help page says, it is a place to write, rate, learn, and earn. This is overly simplistic, but it's not that complicated of a site.

First, you write articles. There are thousands of topics to choose from, so whatever your writing interest, you will find something to interest you. Just search around a little bit and you will probably find something that you want to write about.

Next, you can rate articles. This is how the best articles rise to the top. All articles are rated by other writers on the site, so theoretically the good ones will be rated well and the poorly written articles will fall to the bottom. This is the basis of the site.

Finally, you can earn a little extra money. This depends on a lot of factors, but essentially the more people read your articles, the more money you will earn. We will be exploring ways to earn more money throughout the course of this blog, and they will be labeled, appropriately enough, as Helium tips.

That's about all that there is to it. Write good articles, rate articles to make sure that the best articles get rewarded, and [hopefully] watch the money slowly come in.
