I try to make payout with Helium each and every month. It is easy as I have three writing stars so I dont need to write that many new articles. I just done a rough calculation and I have managed to earn $22 already for upfront payments, provided I keep my writing star. I have over $3 in page views so this gives me my $25 already!
This will not stop my writing and I will keep going to improve my payout.
How much have you earned from helium this month? Do you set a target amount to earn month by month?

I haven't been doing well with my writing this month. I had a bunch of research piled up, but I used it all, and now have to go and do that before I can write more. I was happy to learn that I earned $30 from writing to the Real Estate Marketplace. I was a little disappointed in that one of those articles was at #1 when it went into review, but I guess the publisher selected someone else's article to win the $200.
So I have got to step up my game for the last part of the month...time has been creeping away from me! I know I will make payout with the Marketplace earnings, but I would still like to get my $25 from writing and page views as well. It seems like the page views are way down for me this month. Normally I'd have about $10 by this point in the month, but I only have $3 so far.
Good luck to everyone with their Helium writing!

Congratulations on your Marketplace success. Most of my best earning articles are at or near the top in their ratings. Every month I leapfrog (edit) my lowest rated articles. If I can strengthen the opening paragraph, and make a few other improvements, those articles usually get rated higher after the leapfrog. If you try that it may help your writing score and add more stars. Only leapfrog articles that in the lower half, leave higher rated ones as they are.

My Helium earnings this month are already higher than the total I was paid last month. My page view income dipped last month, but it's now rising again.
I have added another 13 articles since the last cut off date, for which I get upfront payments for my 3 writing stars, and I will have added at least another 13 by next cut off date. A few of these will get an empty title bonus too.
I think a 3 star writer who adds one new article a day, with around 200 articles generating income from page views, can make around $75-$100 in a month, without any marketplace earnings.
My goal is to have 300 articles at Helium by July, then I can have better daily income, and I should gain another writing star. I will earn more empty titles bonuses, and I will not have to rely on Marketplace titles. Previously I have been paid $100 each month from Helium, and I aim to double or triple that amount.

I am working my way toward the 300 articles as well. My biggest problem is that my writing star is at 1 and never seems to move up (one of my primary motivators for trying to get more articles). I have plenty of #1 articles, but I guess I have plenty that are too low as well.

I do not write much these days. I used to write. My earnings are little over a dollar. No writing stars as I was not writing for few weeks. Just heard that I got 10$ for the real estate market place article. That has charged me up to write more.

Well done, I didnt write any real estate articles. Wish I had written three or four, that would have surely increased my earnings for the month. I am finding it hard to write now and my quality is suffering as a result. Perhaps I need a small break

Actually submission is almost automatic and article is rated almost instantly. But the article is subjected to rating for a few days before it settles down.
One day, your article is 44 out of 89 articles. The next time you check it jumps to 22 out of 89. The third day may be 11 out of 89, and an hour later 33 out of 89. After a few days, usually on the 4th or 5th day, it will settle down.
If you are not happy with the rank of your article, you have to leapfrog to make it better.
I think you should contact Helium about your account problem.

Still have to add that one more article to get the first rating star (sigh). Have been focusing my efforts on AC instead since they don't have the same issue. Will get back to helium at some point though.
