After surfing through Blogflux I noticed some really, really cool blogs that were not Blogger or WordPress. Some had some really nice rounded corners, splashy template designs and those ever-coveted three column templates. I decided to do some research on what other alternatives there are in the Blogging World.
Since there are so many other choices, I thought I'd check out one at a time instead of getting an overloaded with information. My small itty bitty brain might have problems digesting..... Plus sometime before 8AM I should really try to get some sleep.
HELIUM
I've heard about Helium before since the buzz on them is making money. How can I not? Isn't that what we are all trying to achieve on line? It claims "Sure, Helium is an outlet for the writer in all of us, but it is also a place where you can earn not only the adoration of your peers, but money, too! We want you to be part of the success here. Helium shares a portion of revenue with you. Every article you write is an asset which can earn you revenue---into perpetuity. The better you write, the higher you rank, the more your reward."
So, I couldn't wait to get started. I have developed a great strategic plan for sites like Helium. Ask me sometime what my strategy is. Maybe I'll part with it...
Registration is very wasy and I posted eight articles right away. A couple of things that I didn't like right away: 1 - Articles are set on a pending status and will be verified within a couple of hours or a couple of days before activation; 2 - I can not use external links on my post and you all know how I'm always itching to link out on almost anything; 3 - No affiliate referral code.
It says that once I reach $25.00 I can request a payout through Paypal. I still don't understand though how I can make money through them. Maybe it's the wee hours of the morning and I need my sleep bad (bad, bad) but no tabs would give me payscale heaven. There is a 120x600 Google adsense ad on the left sidebar and another 120x600 affiliate ad on the right sidebar. How much money can you really make? And how much is your portion after Helium takes theirs?
I guess this looks like we are going to have to wait to see.
