Helium mythology titles  email this discussion to a friend?

I find it interesting that helium has a number of titles relating to mythlogy for the months of the year. When I saw this I thought of a particular myLotter who writes for helium. I hope he will see this discussion and be able to be the first to write to those titles.

There are so many thousands of empty titles on helium it could take weeks to sort through them all. The key in finding the right ones for you is in knowing how to look.

Now that the competitive percentage required for helium titles has dropped to ten percent it makes it easier than ever to maintain a decent writing score.

Not sure whether you meant me or someone else, as I do like to write to mythology topic as I find them extremely interesting.

I had a quick look at the open titles, and whilst interesting would earn me very little as they are in the society and culture channel, and thus not eligible for upfront or empty title bonuses. If I thought page views would be decent that wouldn't stop me but in general mythology is not a big earner.

Seem to have a stalker on helium at the moment, as keep finding the same writer writing articles to topics I have written. Wouldn't mind especially but rather than adding anything new to the topic they just rewrite what others have written, and end up with incorrect facts.

sorry meant to say thanks for the heads up anyway.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Canellita (4243)   ranked 5 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

I did mean you. That is odd about your helium stalker. Just when I started to pull my writing score out of the crapper someone or a few someones have been adding articles to my 1 of 1 titles. Don't people realize they earn more with better scores and more stars?


myLot reputation of 95/100. mrtimharry (957)   ranked 13 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

how about those that add an article to titles that already have five articles in them. No upfront and the articles aren't even that popular for daily revenue share.


myLot reputation of 91/100. speakeasy (1894)  3 years ago

Well, I don't write to mythology at helium; but, I will write to titles that have more than 5 articles IF I am disappointed with the quality of the information in the articles that have already been written to that title.

If I KNOW I can write a better article and end up in in 1st or 2nd place - over time it will pay off and it improves the quality of the information to be found there.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Canellita (4243)   ranked 5 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

I have a long list of titles like that of articles I came across while rating that I knew I could do a better job at but just haven't gotten around to since empty titles are better for maintaining my writing score. I am still trying to recover from my last attempt at the contests.

You raised some points about why people write to articles that are 1 of 1 or have more than 5 articles already. I write to both, the reason being that I am trying to get to 300 titles, and I write to the areas that I know. If I have a good working knowledge of a title, I will write to it, no matter how many others already have. Does this always serve my best short-term interest (making money)? No, but it may serve my long-term interest (getting to 300 articles and a new star).

Hope this might explain the strange behavior. That being said, I don't (or haven't yet) written to mythology.

Oh, I totally get that, and I have done that; it's to be expected with certain topics like kids, relationships and holidays and so forth. It just seems that lately my writing score has been under attack.

Hi Canellita, unless you are really good at mythology topics and and write without much research, I dont think writing to those titles are worthwhile.
There is no upfront payment, and very unlikely to get passive income from those topics.
I seldom write to existing empty titles in Helium. However, i like to submit my own titles. One of my best title in Helium makes an average of $2 per month until someone adds in a title. It's still not a competitive title yet, but the other writer utilize better seo technique with higher keyword density. Now the average earning drops to $1.50 per month.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Canellita (4243)   ranked 5 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

I think I am getting better at SEO because even when my articles are not ranked at #1 on helium they sometimes do ok in page view earnings. Mythology is not my strog point but I thought I would mention it in case anyone was interested.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scheng1 (3223)   ranked 1 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

Hi Canellita, I also notice that those articles with strong keyword density earn more than those without.
Actually I hate to repeat and use the same keywords over and over again. It's kind of writing dilution, but then the search engines do not have the intelligence to index those articles without keywords repetition.
i check out the passive income from AC and Helium just now. The best earners differ. Some of those Economics articles are doing very well in AC, but they hardly earn anything in Helium.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Canellita (4243)   ranked 5 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

I wonder why there is so much diversity between sites. I have been wanting to experiment between the two and see if the same types of articles will earn at AC as well as they do at helium but I have not really had the time. I prefer to post AC articles that are eligible for upfront payments.


myLot reputation of 99/100. scheng1 (3223)   ranked 1 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

Hi Canellita, Helium and AC are completely different when it comes to payment formula. Helium pays according to revenue from advertisements, and AC does not.
If your article can generate a hundred dollars per month in revenue for both writing sites, and having similar page views, you will see that Helium pays more, because they share the revenue with you.
However, AC does not, if that article has just a thousand page views in a month, then you make only $1.50 in AC, and probably $10 in Helium.
That's why Janice Brand said over in the forum of Helium that business category is the one that earns more for Helium.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Canellita (4243)   ranked 5 out of 329 in helium.com  3 years ago

I will have to look into more business articles but my craft and recently one education article have been better earners for me.
