I've recently joined helium and i'm having alot of trouble trying to write my articles for them. I'm not sure what to write it's like I get stuck and can't find a subject to write about. Has anyone been successful on helium? I've written 2 articles but so far have seen no results. They say you can make easy money but that usually requires some writing skills. Another site i've just recently signed up to is ehow. I still trying to make money with them to. Has anyone out there had any luck with these two sites? I don't wanna waste my time writting articles if I can't make some money. It's taken me alot of hours to write the two articles i've already written. I'm debating on whether or not to keep going with it. I haven't written anything for ehow yet but was wondering if anyone had any luck with there site in making decent money? If anyone has any advice or other ideas on how to make money i'm open for all ideas and suggestions. Well i'm still gonna wait to see how it pans out overall. Maybe my writing luck will change.

I have written a few articles for helium and so far have earned 5c, I think to make an earning on there you have to write good quality articles that get rated highly and then you get paid from them. I already worked out that to make any decent money on there I need to be submitting a lot of articles a month and they all need to be high up in the ranking system.

I'm not sure I can't get high in the ranking system maybe i'll try though. I've only submitted two articles so far and have no idea what my ranking is yet.

When you submit an article it should take you to the rating of other members articles. It is a good idea apparently to spend some time rating other members work, but then if you go into your helium and look at your articles there should be a number next to it that says for example 4 of 14 and that is where your article has been placed in the scheme of things. I think for you to get paid it has to be in either the top ten or top twenty.

I still have to write two more articles to be able to rate others. I just started and have only written a couple so far. but hopefully i'll get to writing soon and be able to do more on the site. Thanks for the advice

krystine, it is not that much easy to make money from content writing sites. First thing you should have a flare in the English language to express your ideas.s far as concerned 'Helium' you should attend their 'calls',ie, some publishers demand content or article and mention their title or subject. You can claim for an article and submit it in the helium. There will be many writers to claim and submit their articles. If the publisher approve and select your article then only you will get paid according to the publishers' promise. Not only 'Helium', there are a lot of such publishing sites, where you can try your ability, if you are interested.Associated Content,Triond, Hub Pages, Svooges, Review Share, Review Stream..are some among them.I have published two articles in Associated content, one each at Helium, Triond and Svooges, but no payment so far. If some publishers are not buying our article, the publishing site will give performance payment on the basis of page views. To get page views you should try your level best to get the attention of the public. So don't be disappointed, try again and again to attain the destination. Good luck.

Yeah i'm not finding it easy get paid but i'm going to keep sublitting articles and see what happens in the future. Thanks for the other sites that you can write on i've never heard of any of them but i'll give it a try. I'm just finding it hard on what to write about. I've been writing for publishers in the marketplace but haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully soon I will. Thanks again for the advice.
