How much money are you making over at Helium? I have made... email this discussion to a friend?

erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com1 year ago

about $140 with 140+ articles. I am curious to how much everyone is making over at Helium. I've been writing for about a year and a half. Please let me know some details and any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

I joined Helium, but I haven't really done much of anything yet. I'm writing for Associated Content, so what I've done is take a few articles that I already published there and putting them on Helium, as AC doesn't pay for articles that have been published elsewhere, unless you're going for page views only.

I have only three articles up and have earned a whopping $ .03 so I'm probably not the one to ask.


erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

Either way thanks for responding. I'm just kind of checking out other's responses and seeing where people are having luck writing on the web. Thanks. Hopefully others can use these posts as well to get a good idea of what people are making and where they should concentrate their efforts at.

I haven't posted anything yet on helium, however I have on Associated Content but mine are all listed as page views only because they don't pay you upfront if you are not a US citizen/legal resident of the US, and I'm Canadian. so I'd rather not make my work exclusive to them.

Been in a number of get paid to write. Really started writing my first article since Dec last year. 106 articles made about a little more than $67 at this time of post. I like this site and I like writing.

But lately I am feeling rather lazy so the number of articles could stay stagnant for awhile.

Cheers.


erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

106 articles is a good start. Especially if the $67 is from views only. I know what you mean about being lazy. I write in spurts myself. A good motivator is to write for the contests because they have a timeline and you have to finish your writing before the contest ends. Good Luck.


myLot reputation of 92/100. arcideaco (437)   ranked 53 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

Yes, I fully agree with you it is very difficult to pick yourself up once again when the laziness start to kicks in.

As for the contest, it is not really a motivation to me because whenever I write for a certain topic of a contest, my articles get ranked to the bottom and as soon as the result of the contest is over, my article went up all the way to the top.

Very sad phenomena, isn't it.

Cheers there.

I have made some good money at Helium based on my talents. I have no tips to give rather than to ask you to write more to earn more. Take part in contests and reap the rewards. All these are ways to earn more at Helium. But I can tell that Helium created interest for me to start writing.

I'm fairly new on there, so I haven't really made anything. I'm still in the cents.


erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

Cents today, dollars tomorrow. Keep writing and soon you will be in the dollars. The key is to keep your articles in the top rankings. If they aren't then you must leapfrog them. Good Luck.

I think my number of articles is about 110 and I am just making my second $25, so only $50 all together. I've started writing and rating again now that I am close to the cash out point. I write a lot for Gather, and I tend to drop off for quite awhile and then pick it up again. I haven't written anything for the summer contest yet, although that is my goal. If I can do 1-2 articles a day and rate some, I will be happy.

What's your secret for making so much more money? You've made 2-3 times what I have. I have pretty good rankings too on my articles.


erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

Well I'm pretty much on par with you as far as your earning go based on page views. I got a good chunk from winning one of those weekly contest ($75). Also the reward-a-thon and the stimulus contests are fantastic. My one tip of advice is to Leapfrog any articles that are above the 50% mark. I find that my higher ranked articles are consistently the higher earning articles. Enter contests (the weekly one's were great!). I'm about to hit my $25 threshold next week. I also place links to my articles on Yahoo Answers and MyLot (though I can't paste yet). Good Luck!


myLot reputation of 99/100. AnythngArt (1677)   ranked 1 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

Can you explain a little about Yahoo Answers? Of course, I know Yahoo is a search engine, but I am not familiar with Answers. Thanks in advance.

I have made about $35 with 54 articles. They seem to have made it more difficult to make money on there unless you devote a lot of time to it, but the reward isn't worth the time. You now have to write about 300 words for an article even to make a few pennies from it. The return for time invested seem to be getting much less. I wrote my 54 articles in the first few months as a member. I haven't contribute any articles in about 4 months now. Not worth the time.

The only way to make real money on that is the contests, like the one going on now. They pay you well, but you need a minimum of one star to get anything. Have you seen how difficult it is to get a star? Yes, with effort I can do it, but then, again, the time spent isn't worth it.


erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

I agree it is difficult to make money with helium. You really do have to be dedicated and rewrite your articles to achieve higher rankings. Rewriting your articles also leads to more stars. Once you have your stars though, money just pours in (via pennies and nickels) but nonetheless it's something.

I just had my first Marketplace article accepted at Helium today, and payment is $20.

Last week I won $40 in one of the writing contests, and my total earnings are now nearly $80. I will get my first payment in August and I'm going to try to make enough to be paid monthly from now on.

I joined Helium earlier this year and I was not very active for the first few months, but now I am writing more, entering contests and adding articles to my list.

I was really pleased to get my article accepted today because it was written from my own research about something outside my own experience. Now I know I can do this, and do it to satisfy the publishers requirements and before a closing date, I will keep on writing for the Marketplace.

I have four rating stars and I did have one writing star but my score dropped and I lost it. I hope to get it back soon. Rating does help as my general earnings have been much better this month than they were before.

Have you visited the Helium community forum? You can find some very helpful tips and advice there. I am trying to promote my articles as this will increase earnings and I have put links to some of them in my profile page here and at other sites.

Good luck with your writing, I hope your earnings will increase soon.


erikdell (81)   ranked 81 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

Wow, a Marketplace acceptance. That's cool. I have yet to get one published via Marketplace. $40 on the contest is great and in my opinion the best way to make money on Helium. Not sure if you are doing it or not but Leapfrog any articles that are above the 50% mark. This will greatly improve your writing stars. I only have two rating stars though, I got to get better at that! Anyways good luck with getting your writing stars.


myLot reputation of 99/100. AnythngArt (1677)   ranked 1 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

How do you get your writing star back after you lose it? I had one, then stopped participating on the site, but have since gone back, but now my stars are gone, and it's like starting all over. Thanks for your help on the star system.


myLot reputation of 93/100. paid2write (4134)   ranked 56 out of 508 in helium.com  1 year ago

I may try leapfrogging a few articles to see if it makes a difference to my score but I think that as I add more new articles my score will rise high enough to get at least one star. My recent articles are doing better in the ratings than some of my earlier ones. I think I'm beginning to get an idea of how to make my articles stand out and get higher ratings.

I've been there for about almost a year now and most of my earnings have been through the Reward-A-Thon as mentioned in previous posts. Right now, I made payout one time and that could be because of not really sure how to promote articles properly. I have 429 articles up at this very moment though it's going to increase and go up over 500+. Part of it could be because I to a fault probably know more in the sports and games department than other aspects. To be fair, web design is also an area I write on as well so that does count. Whatever your doing, just keep doing it and it's working out great for ya.

Pick out topics you know a lot about. Do a search and add your articles to the titles that come up. You will be surprised at how easy one topic can be a lot of different titles.

You will increase your earnings a lot if you write most of your articles for the marketplace, contests, and special earnings such as the reward-athon. The first reward-athon got me really excited and I wrote over 400 articles earning over 1400 dollars. In turn, I increased my passive income with those 400 articles dramatically. I am now making about 100 dollars a month passively. I only write there every now and again, usually when there is a contest I think I can place in, a marketplace article I would enjoy writing, or when I have a few spare moments to write for the current reward-athon.

Helium is a low earner, but if you stick with what you know you can write articles quickly and over time they can be worth it.

My Helium stats-1 year, 650+ articles (I think I am at 657), just over $2000. Currently earning between $100-150 passively each month.

I haven't done that well. I do have one market place I sold for about $20 and I'm currently in another one with an article that seems to be the "hated of the rated". I expect it to reach bottom really soon. I'll leapfrog it when hell freezes over.
