As it is, they're just ignoring me; in a way, almost the same thing. Heck, I was wishing I couldn’t get to the site. As it is, they’re just ignoring me; in a way, almost the same thing.

That's a lot of articles you had on the site; I hope you were making a nice income from it all, but how unprofessional to just disable your link without giving you the money you had earned first. Hi Jena,

I only had 5 articles on the site until they started their goofy stuff, and they dropped it to three. That’s a lot of articles you had on the site; I hope you were making a nice income from it all, but how unprofessional to just disable your link without giving you the money you had earned first.

I have 143 articles at helium, and after I contributed that much they disabled the foreign contributions' log in system. So now I could not contribute and I could not personally withdraw the earnings from my articles. It's good a good friend had agreed to do it for me. I was wondering how many articles you had in there. .-= Jena Isle´s last blog ..<a href="http://jenaisleonline.com/2009/11/17/461/">Serendipity and Writing to Exhale</a> =-.

I guess I just wanted to be much more of a paid writer than a free editor, if you will, especially reading articles on topics I didn't care about. If I were editing them and getting paid, nice, but otherwise, it just wasn't working for me. Thanks Bev; you captured that part much better than I would have.

I joined the site a few years back thinking it would be a good oppotunity to make a little cash. I didn't mind reading the other writings so much but the majority of them were AWFUL! Poor grammar and misspelled words with no real substance. And then you had to go through several articles and rate them. Helium is a site for "wannabe writers" who just want a platform to be seen. If you're really serious--you'll find another platform to showcase your work. .-= Beverly Mahone´s last blog ..<a href="http://babyboomerbev.blogspot.com/2009/11/sad-ending-to-shaniya-davis-story.html">Sad Ending to the Shaniya Davis Story</a> =-.
