I have a writing star again, for a little. LOL

Getting to the money takes awhile. I think I've made pay out twice in the entire time I've been there. Some have better luck with it than others but if you enjoy writing, that should be your main goal. Ok, the money is good too. Just remember, you will get toppled, climb back up and get toppled again. That's the way things work at Helium. You will have those who probably couldn't rate a grocery list choosing horrible articles over good ones, but the ones who know what they're doing tend to straighten it out-eventually or not.

Oh, dear. I am the last person you want giving you Helium advice. LOL I know if you go to your home page on Helium, you can copy the link and paste it into the profile page on MyLot. I've been writing for Helium for over a year. I like Associated Content better, but it all depends on what your preferences are. Canellita and Scheng write for both and I believe they prefer Helium. If you start a Helium discussion you will get tons of help on mylot. Some of the people here write for the article sites. Like I told Canellita long ago, good luck finding me on Helium because I'm not even sure how to find me. LOL

She is in my list of favorites.

Unfortunately, no. I don't make any money from upfronts on Helium. I am hopeful that I will do something this month but I doubt it. AC is really getting bad. They gave me such horrible offers on four out of 10 articles, that I won't even publish the articles. It's ridiculous. Anyway, maybe I will start focusing on Helium some now. I made some money on passive but not anything like AC.

She did not get it because she is too stubborn! Even now she refuses to keep posting articles to empty titles to get her writing score up to 85%. She still refuses to listen to us.

You know I will never reach 85%. What, am I asking for a raise and you are going to supply the ladder? There is no guarantee that if I write to Helium articles that I will be able to go upwards. We all know how that see-saw goes.

Adding or removing improperly placed commas isn't a typo, besides it's much easier just leaping the article and putting them in than getting in contact with them. My experience emailing them took several tries to get them to understand the simplest thing and with a screen shot to boot.

Well, I tried to re-do mine with commas and it was voted out as being the same, which was true. I just thought fixing the problems would vote them higher and it didn't. I guess it all depends on who is rating your article. LOL That's really good though, you have over 100 articles and are at 72%. It's difficult to get over 50% when you have people rating your experiences and not your writing. LOL

J you are confusing leapfrogging with typo fixes. When you just need to make a few corrections like commas you can just email helium.

LOL. That's actually not a bad idea. The problem is, all of my articles are mostly in the middle or better. I wouldn't know which ONE to choose. I would have to do it to several articles. LOL I would really like to make money with Helium but I guess I am more focused on AC because I can earn the greater upfront payments and my pageviews are always between $20 and $30 a month. I am hoping to miraculously improve those as well.

That's because they pay me for upfronts. LOL

That is because you have way more articles on AC.

No way! I'm not writing again until I lose my star. Everytime I think a change will benefit me it bites me in the backside! I'm staying where I am, happy that I got the stupid thing. I don't thing it will do anything for me when the end of the month comes around. I wanted to rate some articles and forgot all about it. Maybe later. Hope your sanity holds in there and your little machine behaves. Hey, at least it isn't a typewriter. LOL

Empty titles. Hey, I might actually try to post an empty title this week. I will let you know how it goes. Helium wanted me to re-do a title because it was too vague. If I am more specific, it may take away from the article.

You are hilarious. I am trying to not be bummed out over the computer situation as nothing I have tried has worked. Empty titles. Listen for a change and stop being so stubborn.

It's hard to keep your rating high on Helium. I don't write much there. Most of my efforts are focused on AC. Although, I'm not hearing much good about ac as of late. Hopefully, I will be doing more on AC and get even more writing stars. Time will tell.

It is very easy to improve your writing score at helium. All you have to do is submit an article to an empty title and voila your score goes up. Try to keep your score from dropping below 85% in order to maintain your writing stars.

I can't find that many empty titles that I would want to write to on Helium. Then, I get sidetracked with AC so I forget I need to put the article into Helium. Usually, I put on ac first for the upfront. LOL Maybe that's why I don't make money on Helium.

Yeah! That's a great job. I wish you the best of luck. If you need anymore help just ask. I probably won't have the answer if it is helium, yuck,hehe, but I am sure someone here will.

I didn't get the email but at the top of your screen (couple inches down) you will see a bunch of tabs. tasks are in the list on the tabs. If there are any writing jobs they should be there. Good luck.

Thank you Mommaj, I am trying my best. Do you know anything about the MyLot tasks where you can $2 and $3 to write on here? I found it in messages this morning under another writing discussion and am curious as the what exactly it is and how I can find it on this site. I would like to pursue this.
