Helium.com is a media source for content based solutions and provides content based services across the globe. They have two types of services to offer. We have published this Helium review for potential content writers who are looking for such jobs. First one is client based where different clients from all over the world can ask Helium to write content for them and they pay a suitable amount for such services. The other type is Freelance based where different writers are hired by helium to work on those assignments and get paid. Obviously we are more interested in the latter.
How does Helium Work
Helium.com offers paid jobs for freelance writers and editors but applying for it isn’t so easy as you would expect from a typical Job offering website. In fact, we had to go through the website for some time before actually finding the Job section. It appears that Helium.com has a different website for job seekers. You can click HERE to visit. Now Helium offers two types of assignments to its workers, Freelance writing assignments and Editorial jobs. You can apply to wither one of them. Helium is looking for writers who have some expertise in any of the areas specified below:
- Product descriptions for retailers
- Home improvement and construction
- Information Technology
- Finance and Business topics
- Medical and Pharmaceuticals
- Journalism
To apply as a Freelance writer please visit this LINK. The procedure for applying is specified on this link so please go through it very carefully before applying. You will have to attach your Resume and Cover Letter with your application. It would be best if you can attach a couple of your sample writing works to make your case strong. Helium.com chooses its writers very carefully and you have to be an expert writer to be able to make it to the team. One you get selected as a writers, an Editorial project manager will contact you and guide you through the process.
Helium Payment Details
Helium.com pays through Paypal. So if you make it to the last round as a writer at Helium make sure you have a Paypal account otherwise you wouldn’t be able to receive payments. Payments are sent twice a month so that’s a huge positive compared to other websites. The amount that you are paid per assignments depends on the assignment itself. Some factors come into place including word count and nature of assignment.
Helium Review: Conclusion
Helium.com is a great website for fresh and experienced writers both, although they would prefer writers with some experience. Since the application process is a bit different and requires you to send your resume by email rather than simple drag and drop so it might be a little confusing for new writers. So if you’re an expert writer and love writing about relevant topics then you should definitely apply for it. They pay handsomely enough to keep working for them for a long time to come.
