erikdell 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...

erikdell 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...

erikdell 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...

only cost $2 and some change. I'm not talking about the regular drip coffee because we all know that sucks. No teas, no chais, no frozen fruity drinks. Simply walk into your favorite Starbucks and boldly walk up to the counter...

erikdell You are very correct. Their coffee sucks. The Americano however is comprised of shots of espresso which taste much different than their drip coffee. Never heard of Maxie Java. I wrote an article on the worst coffee I've tasted, check it...

erikdell I watch FoodTV as well (aspiring cook) so that movie was very cool on a level I appreciated. I brought my 11 year old stepson and he loved it as well. Just a good wholesome movie with a dash of Pixar magic.

erikdell Ratatouille was enjoyable and the characters memorable. Overall that movie was deserving of the Oscar.

Director and why. I myself am a huge fan a Sam Raimi. I love his direction in the early Evil Dead films. His interpretation of scripts is amazing. It's hard to see the same director in his early work compared to his recent pop...

erikdell All good directors, for sure. Robert Rodriguez is a close second in my own book of favorites. That man is amazing and he knows how to make a mean pueco pibil (on the special features of Once Upon A Time In Mexico). Tim Burton is amazing at what he does. I'm...

How much are you earning over at Associated content? I have close to 40 articles and have made close to $40 with a combination of performance views and offers. Just curious where everyone stands. Any tips would be appreciated.

erikdell That is a decent amount. It seems that once you get the PVs rolling they don't stop. Any hints on writing a breakthrough article?

erikdell I have been lucky with Helium. I think once you get a bunch of high rated articles you do well. I have, however been shifting more of my attention over to Associated content because they pay sooner and I seem to get more page views there. But I submit to both...

erikdell 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.

erikdell 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...

erikdell I didn't even know they had forums. I'll have to check those out. Thanks for the advice. That's not a bad ratio of articles written to sold articles.

erikdell Wow! That's a pretty hefty sum for a year's worth of internet writing. Congrats and the monthly residuals must be nice. I myself am averaging about $1-2 in PVs per month on Associated Content.

erikdell I had no idea that MyLot was so global. Whoops. I'm used to seeing mostly US and UK users on the other writing sites. Very cool.

erikdell LOL that's so funny. Good catch. I'm new and I guess it is very misleading seeing all the spelling and grammar mistakes. I thought it was a speed thing but I guess I am guilty of my own accusations. I've been writing on a few other sites and spelling seems to...

erikdell Rushmore is fantastic. That movie sometimes gets lost in the shuffle. Bill Murray is great and that other kid, I can't recall his name but I think he was in the movie Shine.

I've been reading through some of the discussions about Helium and I've noticed a few people mention writing for high paying topics. Does anyone know what those topics are that pay the most? Other than Marketplace of course.

erikdell Your right about the ranking of three or higher. I find articles I have written that place 3 or higher do considerably better than the others. This is why leapfrogging can be your best tool. If your article is not ranked very high then leapfrog it. There is no...
