The new contest on Helium

Are you entering the contest? So far I've written 4 articles. I am already panicking thinking I should write at least 25 in a week. Two a day is my limit so far. Possibly I'll write more on the weekend. It's tough when you have a full time job and the new tv season is starting...

No need to write 25 articles. Write few articles and see how you perform on the leaderboard. I have writen about 6 or 7 articles to make to 2nd position in a previous contest. Quality matters and not quantity.

Hi! I have written 1 article so far - try not to be too amazed - lol! The contest just started this past Tuesday, and ends at midnight (GMT) the following Monday. So, there is plenty of time to write articles for this contest. And there are plenty of article choices covering a broad range of topics this time. Someone asked about this - I have found that it is better to write fewer articles and make each one a high quality article. Helium actually deducts points if your contest article is rated low. And, the raters have become better about rating articles lower when they contain poor spelling and grammar. So, give it a shot, and see how it goes! Good Luck too! CH

Hmm i did not know there was a contest on Helium lately, I've been busy and have had some major writer's block but perhaps I'll check it out.
