Helium is frequently contacted by press and publications looking for writers in certain geographic areas. One day it’s a publisher in Miami, Florida. Another day it’s a journalist from Liverpool, UK.
They offer great opportunities for good writers, and we want to help create the connections. To do that, we need to know where in the […]

I have been studying up on ways to market content online. If you’re going to make a living doing it, at some point the free content you give away needs to translate into paid clicks, sold ebooks, or some time of revenue transfer!

The author says to use Thanksgiving because Christmas has religious connotations. Anyone familiar with Thanksgiving’s origins know that it does too. If you’re customers are […]
