    It might help if you were to let us know what site you are talking about. All we got here is a pig-in-a-poke offer.

    Payment made using paypal. The site is Helium. Since the only way to invite is by sending email, I has to ask for your email address.

    What is pig-in-a-poke?

    "Poke" is an old word for sack or bag, (I think we get the word "pocket" from this). To buy "a pig in poke" means to buy a pig in a sack, in other words, to buy something that you cannot see, which is not advisable.

    Erm... I don't think so. If Helium is still the same from when I looked at it a few months ago, it's not a good platform for any freelance writer who is actually SERIOUS about their work. They pay you pennies per page view your articles get.

    This is what it says on their website:

    "Writers receive instant recognition from an audience of millions. When you share, Helium shares back. Earn a share of the advertising money earned here at Helium. If you write well, and write often, you earn even more recognition and reward"

    I guess if you just have random articles sitting around that you don't care about, you could put them on Helium. But otherwise I believe it would be a waste of time.

    If that's what you said then I have nothing to say. I just think it is a good site and I wish to share it. I don't want people try to think that I wanna scam them.

    I never even referred to you. If someone thinks you're a scammer from what I posted, that's not my problem. I never said anything to make someone think that about you.

    I was merely giving my opinion about the website. I didn't want someone serious about their work to waste their time on Helium.

    No, it's ok,really. Everyone can give his/her opinion. It's not that I was mad or anything.

    I just want to invite an interested person to this site. They can make their own decision whether they want to or not. Maybe I should put some kind of sign here : "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK" Nah, that's too serious...
