Hi!

I have the very same problem so I wish I could help you out, but I can't. If you find an answer, please let me know as well.

I've found that it's a bit of a numbers game. By writing a lot of articles over a broad range of categories, you'll find the ones which get the most income and the most hits.

The best way to earn is to get traffic to your articles. Put a link to your page in your profile here so people can find you on Helium. Post links to your articles in places where the topic is relevant. Don't post spam though. Only post when it is relevant.

Having your articles rated high will make them easier for people to find, and then they will be read more. If you have articles you want help with, post them in the members' feedback forum on Helium asking for feedback, or post a couple here to ask for feedback. Then you can edit and leapfrog them, and hopefully improve their rank.

Send links to your family and friends so they can read your work. You can bookmark your articles at places like Digg and Stumble upon. There is information on how to do that in the message boards on Helium.

Finally, write on hot topics. News and technology type of articles seem to be popular.

You are not going to get rich from Helium, but you can earn some if you write plenty of quality articles and do a little work to promote them.

My link to my Helium page is in my profile if you'd like to check it out and read some of my work.

What is helium.com? Is it like myLot too, where you can earn money for participating in a forum? I guess you can make people read your articles if you can make your title catchy. Titles are the first thing that people read. If it is interesting, then they will take the time to read the rest of the article. Good Luck.
