14 DAY TRIAL // Helium officially rolled out 'Marketplace', a technology that was first tested some months ago and brought an interesting system that was rarely used on the web. Basically, it allows you to earn money by writing articles and by publishing them on 'Marketplace'. Now, let me explain the entire procedure. First of all, you're required to write and upload articles in one of the 24 categories mentioned by the publishers. After that, the publishers will choose the best article created by the users and will offer a certain amount of money to one of them. The bad thing about it is that there can be only one winner. The good thing is that... well, there's no good thing if you're not the winner of the competition.
According to TechCrunch, the company pays at least $16 and a maximum of $100, but Helium will receive 20 percent of the money. "Ready to earn more? Marketplace is your one-stop access to publishers looking to hire freelancers. Not just a list of publishing venues, this is the only place where you can see the exact titles of articles that publishers need right now. These publishers are paying at least $16 for selected articles (with some paying up to $100 - and more!)," it is mentioned on the main page of the service.
This is quite an attractive offer for many of the Internet users because most of them are willing to do anything in order to earn money with ease. Since a lot of Internet users are already owning a blog or they plan to create one to publish their own articles, many of them would be extremely interested about this offer that may bring them financial resources. However, please keep in mind that you might not be the one who receives the money as the entire system selects only one user to win the competition.
