I have questions about Hellium

You'll get better answers from people who use it extensively but the basics are: It's basically revenue share. You earn per view on your articles. They pay in the usual way - a bit per view, per article, to Paypal every month. To get paid you have to earn a writing star (sort of like Clout 1 on AC) and maintain a Review star (by reviewing 10 articles every 30 days or something). "Writing to a title" means writing an article about a title that already exists: this is how Helium works. You can suggest a new title but mostly you write about things they have listed in any category. I don't know if they have a save feature - if not, write in Notepad and save locally, then copy/paste when it's done. They also have a marketplace which is like Assignments in AC: you write to the titles suggested and can earn a bit extra. Hope it helps!

Hi Bostonphil, Helium does not allow you to use your title. You have to use the title already created in Helium. That is the challenge of writing for Helium. On top of that, you have to write in magazine style, and that means cannot use first person perspective. The best is to write in Word, and save in your computer. After that, just copy and paste to upload the content. Do not ever use the template for writing articles, you will lose everything.

Hello, Bostonphil. I write solely for Helium, and I earn between $200 and $300 a month. I only pull in around $40 - $50 from revenue share, so most of the rest comes from incentive payments. I think the first thing you need to understand is how Helium works. Spend some time on the help pages to get an idea. It's not a site where you just write what you want to and then find a title. It's best to browse the titles, then write an article around the chosen title. If there isn't a title you want, you can suggest your own, but it needs to be crafted in the Helium format, or it won't be accepted. It's easier - at least at first - to write to the titles on site. There are new ones appearing every day. When you're more comfortable with how the site works, you can then think about suggesting your own titles. I'm not being patronising here, and I hope it doesn't come across in that way, but I think you may be trying to run on Helium before you can walk. I'm a Channel Manager and an Editor there. Contact me through the link on my MyLot profile page and I'll help you to get started if I can. There's also a new member mentor there. It's worth sticking with it.

I don't write on this site myself, but have a friend who wrote a lot for them. I was going to look into it, but read some very bad reviews on HubPages. Before you get in too deep, I suggest you go to HubPages and do a search for Helium. Some love it and some hate it, and it might be good to find out why before you invest too much time into it.
