Have you ever won a contest at Helium?

You should write on topics that excite and inspire you first and foremost. What are you interested in? Do you have any areas of specialist knowledge? The most important thing is to write good quality articles and rate lots so you improve your own writing too

I have won so many contests on Helium and it is a real art. Write quality. Make sure your articles contain everything relevant to the topic. Write it. Leave it 24 hours, re-read it then submit. Works for me and I remember the old 500 contests and boy were they hard. 100 articles a week. The Channel contests are a lot easier and with care, anyone can win.

Great advice guys, thanks for sharing

I can't say that I have noticed such a huge in terms of increased views for my contest articles. I am very selective in which contests I enter as I often find that there is a shortage of topics I can write on. Good on you for having a go though and thanks for sharing

Congratulations on the wins! I have had one tiny success and am patiently waiting the results of another! You sure are right about finding the time though! thanks for sharing

It sure is a lot of hard work though! Not nearly as relaxing as here! thanks for sharing

I have seen some of the beauty topics, they always seem to be in the contest. Unfortunately I don't know very much about that topic though! Thanks for sharing.
