I joined Helium.com yesterday and have written two articles. I was wondering how you get earnings for these articles. Does it take awhile? Do you have to promote your articles or anything? I have tried looking through their FAQ but I'm still confused. Any advice would help. Thanks! =)

Helium is a very slow way to make money, but then again, so is MyLot, at least for me. With Helium, the best way to bump up your revenue is to participate in the ongoing contest they have right now (not sure how long this is running). If you can win $5 a week (the lowest prize), it will help your earnings considerably. I think it's quicker to make money with Associated Content, but I also spend more time on those articles, too. If you write for Helium over the long run (and continuously), I think you will do ok. You earn money on your articles every day, even when you are not writing, but it takes awhile to accumulate. Good luck with your writing.

I don't spend much time on helium... nor do I spend much time here but I notice in Helium you earn as long as there are people reading your articles! The trick is to write about things many people are interested in.
