Question All u need to know about becoming a commercial helicopter pilot?

So far ive learnt a lot about becoming a fixed wing pilot/ airline pilot from the wannabes section and have found the info quite extensive. However i would like to know all the ins and outs about becoming a helicopter pilot.

Basicaly i want to know ;
1) How much does it cost to become employable
2) What are the different sort of career paths within helicopter flying
3) What sort of pay is involved
4) does the fixed wing ppl count towards the helicopter training at all

Are there any good books about that could explain all the possibilities and options available, Any good websites other than pprune?

I apologise for the general nature of this post but i am eager for info

Any advice much apreciated
