I Got My First Writing Star But I Think I'm Going to Lose it!

I know how it felt like when you get your first Helium writing star but how disappointed when you lose it. Having only one writing star is a precarious position to be in. The star flickers and flickers and would finally be gone. That is why when you write for Helium, don't just stop at four articles to get the writing stars. Aim for thirty articles and you will get two writing stars and that will put you in a more stable position. As for the deleted articles, do what the above poster says. Correct whatever is necessary then submit the articles again. But don't spend too much time on them. Try to submit at least 100 articles and when you have three writing stars, it's difficult for you to lose them.

I was also on Helium almost 2 years ago. In the first month I reached the 25.00 dollar pay out! I was excited. But then my star kept dissapearing and I got dissapointed and stopped writing thier. I am considering starting again. I have 21 articles I think. But I have never had an article rejected, and I know I am not the best writer. So that is proboply a new thing? Hmm i think I might start thier again and maybe try what the above poster said and try leapfrogging, and also reaching the 30 article mark to hopefully be able to maintain the writing star.

I currently have two rating stars, and my best advice is try not to write for titles that have a lot of entries under them, because the more entries there are the more likely you are to be towards the middle or the bottom rather than the top, also leapfrog articles if you're not happy with the ranking they have.

When articles are deleted from the site, you can still see them under "my articles". I suggest copy and pasting them into word, fixing the errors, and submitting them again. I have three stars on Helium, and whenever my percentage dips into the 75% range (instead of 76-77) I panic and spend a day leapfrogging old articles!
