Contests - remind me again  |
|
 Okay~ so we all know that I am usually a little Helium cheerleader and very happy to be writing somewhere. Remind me again why I ever write in a contest title? I did the write it and forget it, but oh how discouraging. I hate to open my article's page and see them rock bottom. Now if history is any indication of the future as soon as the contest ends, my articles will float up some and I will find the glaring mistakes I made. But in the mean time - it sucks!
Thank you all for letting me vent - by the way have you looked at marketplace? I did today and there were 19 pages - maybe I should read the titles.

1.  mommaj (1084) | 3 months ago |  Oh, I hate Helium contests. I know you will be fine though. I hope your article rises to the top before the contest ends though. Good Luck!
Don't get me started on Helium. LOL

| Trensue (1301) | 3 months ago | okay and I won't talk about how AC hates me!!! lol | |
|
|
| mommaj (1084) | 2 months ago | LOL.
That is just their stupidity. Besides, they don't hate you, they hate everyone unless you make them a lot of money. Show them the green and you are in. LOL As soon as I figure out how, I will let you know. | |

| 2. rosepedal64 (1499) | 3 months ago |  Hi Trensue
How are you doing? Good I hope. Let me ask you a few questions. I have never been on Helium so does it really work? I mean what kind of things do you write about. I was writing on ehow and they have made me mad so I haven't written anything for awhile, is Helium anything like that.
Oh yeah by the way I got most of my stuff moved into the new place. I still don't have any internet yet. They told me it would be around the Nov 6th before they could get it hooked up. Right now I came back over to the camper so I could get on here. After this I will have to use my other sons internet. Okay just a little update for you. Take care and I will catch up with you a little later.
Have a great day and keep smiling..

| Trensue (1301) | 3 months ago | I have never written for ehow, but Helium has been good over all for me. It has taken a good year of writing, but I can count on $300 a month. Give me your email if you want to know the pros and cons -
Is the new place better?
Are you excited?

| Trensue (1301) | 2 months ago | The trick is over 1000 articles - I think. And a lot of us promote each other and that helps to - with redit stumble and so on - I am nowhere near Tim though - I am lucky to get an article a day. | |
|
|
| rosepedal64 (1499) | 2 months ago | Thats sound great. I will PM you in a few days with my email. I would like to try that too and see what happens with it. I think that I will wait until I get my internet back on so that way I have more time to do stuff. Move is going good. | |

| 3. Canellita (3299) | 3 months ago |  I am right with you on that one sister! I delved into the contests twice and watched my writing score plummet each time! What gets me is that after the contest the article would rise up to a better position!
I discovered a few titles in the marketplace yesterday that I felt I could contribute something to. I am going to head over there in a bit and see if I can give it a go before I have to leave for my er, "real" job.

| Trensue (1301) | 3 months ago | Good for you - let my know how it goes. | |

|
| Canellita (3299) | 2 months ago | Life keeps getting in the way of everything with a deadline. Still a couple mroe days so we will see. | |
|
|
| Trensue (1301) | 2 months ago | humm - now that I did all the ranting a raving and was saddened by my tanking articles - I won the contest - It makes this a little embarrassing. | |
|
|
| Canellita (3299) | 2 months ago | Hey, that's great! WTG! I am not touching the contests again until after I have a fourth star. | |

4.  mrtimharry (945) | 2 months ago |  I have about 50% success rate in contests, meaning that I get into the money every other contest. Even with success though comes the fact that I know some articles will bomb and cause a decrease in my writing score.
I have to say though that I haven't done a contest for a couple of months, as nothing has caught my eye. Also the prize money is reducing from this week.
