Write it!

I’ve written in recent posts about the advantages of creating HubPages.

Today I want to talk about HubPages vs Helium.

HubPages vs Helium

Helium is another writing opportunity where writers submit their work and are paid a portion of ad revenue; however, I’ll outline why I think HubPages has more to offer those who create content.

When you create HubPages, you have the option of including pictures. Now, this makes a huge difference for your readers. For example, I submitted stories about my parrots over at Helium, then later put the same stories up at HubPages. The stories looked far more appealing with photos showing what my birds looked like. These stories received a wider readership over at HubPages and readers wrote in commenting on the pictures. (Incidentally, I tried to remove my avian stories from Helium and was informed that this wasn’t an option. I later pulled the stories from HubPages with much regret but because of Google’s duplicate content rule).

Now, while you earn ad revenue at Helium, HubPages allows you to include actual product capsules which also include pictures of same. Your HubPages not only earn you ad revenue but also commissions on products that readers purchase via your E-Bay/Amazon capsules. I’ve had readers of my Hubs purchase movies, music, and appliances.

Another advantage of HubPages is that you can continue to add content, which seems to make a difference with the search engines. I like the option of adding the news capsule because I believe that when it is updated, this makes a difference with the search engine spiders,

In a nutshell: HubPages allows for creation of content-rich pages which seems capture search engine attention.

These are only a couple of reasons why, when I think of HubPages vs Helium, HubPages comes out on top.

• You can create HubPages and earn ongoing income!
