How to make money at Helium.com

Aw, thanks! Let me know if you want any hints on how to make more than 3 cents at Helium. ;)

AC can take awhile Tacoman. Sometimes longer than 5 or 6 days, but they will get back to you eventually. I submit everything I have on Helium to them, and they have published most of it while paying me $3-$6 for each article. It adds up much faster than Helium, and it's double dipping, which is good. Once you get published there, promote your articles because it helps you get rated, and more pay. What I mean about Helium is that if you're writing about the NCAA basketball Tournament, they are good because that kind of article only has a short shelf life, so cash in as much as you can while you can. I've made $23 on Helium in a month, and over $100 at AC in 3 weeks, with far fewer articles. So AC is better to me. And because most of my Helium articles have a short shelf life, they will not keep earning me money after this month. My goal is to start earning $100 or more per article.

Tacoman, have you ever heard of Triond? You can submit your work to them and they will find a publisher for it and then you get somtheing like 75% of the income they generate from your articles. They will not publish anything that has been previously published though, but they don't consider Helium as publishing, so you can submit helium stuff there. I just did and they published it in less than a day. If you have something on AC already though, they won't take it. If you want to try it out just go to triond.com Looks like a better deal than Helium, but I'll know better when my article starts earning something.

Appreciate your help. I think I will send one to one of my emails and then I can see what's my link. I do hope to earn just like you on helium. Right now, I only average a few cents daily. Still, I am glad because it helps me in my free lance writing.

It might encourage you to know that I didn't make more than a few cents a day either for awhile. Once you get a fair number of articles up, learn how to promote them, and get good articles on popular subjects rated, your earnings will go up. Plus, like you said, even if you don't make much money from it, you're still gaining writing experience.

Mike, thanks for the kind words. I actually have several articles pending with AC as we speak...how long does it usually take for them to be approved (or not)? They say 5 business days, and this is the 5th or 6th one since I submitted mine. Helium doesn't have the full rights to my articles, so I'm working to publish them elsewhere...including AC and Constant Content. I haven't tried to sell full rights to anyone but Suite101, who require it (which is why I'm wary of them...I've only published two articles with them so far, to see how much they earn).
