I've reviewed some, (Not yet All) of what's out there. Two of the most advertised sites for "getting published" online are Helium & Associated Content.

There are a lot of scams out there, targeting you & your work. Be very careful who you write for, what their copyright is over your work, and how you're compensated.

Of the two, I decided to not write for Helium, yet to write for Associated Content. I'll have to re-read the terms of agreement, and let you know why *I* chose this route.

You, obviously, can choose for yourself, but wherever you display your content, make sure you're okay with what happens to the copyright. (As in, who owns the piece, once you submit?)

Helium pays a portion of advertising revenue to you, based on visits & clickthroughs of the Adsense Ads on your article. Ah, yes. After re-reading the terms of agreement, I'm reminded why I didn't post articles there. They have the right to sell, distribute, change, make derivatives of your work, with or without attribution (saying you wrote it.) I believe YOU, however, are not allowed to do this with work you submit to the site, even though you own the copyright. That said, I could be wrong.

On a THIRD read-through, of Helium's Terms, I may have been incorrect. (It happens, particularly with legaleeze.) Read Helium's Terms for yourself and see what you think. Would that agreement be alright with you? I'll provide a link, just in case you want to join.

I also read the Terms & IC Agreement, on AC; there are similar terms of perpetual rights, but I didn't find any clause that says they can take away attribution.

Here's how it works... You visit the Writers on Squidoo Headquarters, you add all your lenses that pertain to writing. Then, you add links to where you write OUTSIDE of Squidoo to the links plexo, and click a few of the existing links to network with your fellow writers.
