Helium writers?

I did join helium but found them to be rather a pain. It takes three days or so before your article is even published and then they often would suggest changes and resubmission and that would start the process over again. So I bailed. But while it was not for me I wish you luck with your articles. Also I know that there were alot of people complaining about the low pay, but others were just happy to have the place to put their articles.

I'm a Helium writer and the best advice I can give you is rate other writers' articles. Not only does it filter out the unwanted writers who post horrible articles but it also gives you ideas to write on. There's also the marketplace which is where I made 17 dollars off one article. That goes back to the rating system. The person who gets a rating of 1 wins the money and the website will buy your article. They can go as high as 200 dollars for an article and believ me it takes a while to earn on Helium. But go to the forums, make yourself known to everyone so they can see your profile and view your articles. I get paid pennies a day from the page views so it's worth it to participate in the marketplace. I'd say join the contests but you have to write A LOT! There is much competition in the contest so I just gave up on that. People wrote like 50 articles in one weekly contest and I mean 50 for one writer, not 50 total. My page is http://www.helium.com/user/show/71519

I haven't been writing on Helium that long either, and I would love to know the secret to how they figure out how much money you earn! They have a contest going now and that seems to be the best way to earn a little cash, but now that everyone knows that, it's much harder to win. In past weeks I won $5, but this week, I've written a lot, and my name isn't even on the list. I think that if you are going to spend time researching articles, you might as well write for sites like Associated Content and Constant Content, where you get paid better per article. Helium is quick writing if you know the topic, but many seem to require research. Still, it seems that I earn a little something every day, so I keep doing it.

I have been a member of Helium since November of last year and my earnings are now a little over $12, however I have not been able to write and rate (or promote) as much as I would have liked to. I was unable to visit the site for almost 3 months because my computer crashed and it took me a while to replace it - also I drive a truck for a living and am limited to what time I can spend on the internet.I only have around 50 very short articles. The thing is, the more articles you have, the more you will earn because each article keeps earning for you. Some topics seem to be more popular and earn more money than others. It also helps to answer questions that are on the home page. Another way to increase your earnings at Helium is to promote your articles. If you have a web page or a blog, place links to your articles there. You can also add links to them as a signature to your emails. The more people that see and read your articles, the more money you will make. It is also important to rate as many articles as you can. The more you rate, the more your articles are rated.

Honestly you are much better off at AC. Helium does not pay great. I'll show you. Here's my page at Helium: http://www.helium.com/user/show/65924 For all these articles I have so far made $43. I have less than half these on AC and they have paid me almost $300 so far. Your articles on Helium are more than good enough for AC.

I just started up at Helium yesterday. I wrote one article (just a recipe), but it's good to see these responses from pros. It looks like the best idea is to spread your material out among a few of these pay-per article sites. I think that'll be my plan from now on.

I've had very little success with Helium, I get infinitely better payouts from Triond. I joined both at the same time, have done the same amountof work on each, and get something every month from Triond but have had no payment at all yet from Helium

Actually, I have tried this site. You have to write extremelly good posts in order to rate higher than others writing in the same topic. Your topics may only earn you 1-2 cents per post. I don't like it at all. I have posted 5 topics and only have 3 cents. So it is either that I am not a good typer and my topics are not interesting (although I use the suggested titles),or it is just a site that doesn't pay worth a damn. That is just my opinion, it means nothing if you are making money. I hope you have better luck then I did.

Ive checked out helium.. I think im going to join under you later today (im busy now at work) and start writing... This is a good opportunity for me to write about my business and expand my horizons:)

Nice articles. You do a great job. I think you should enter the weekly drawings. I do write for them although I haven't written for a while over there. I still manage to make about 10 dollars a month. Here is my web page. http://www.helium.com/user/show/12606
