Advantages: a great earning potential
Disadvantages: after a while there is no room to grow, the top you will get is $3.50 per article
Helium is considered, by many, to be the largest online writing community, with well over a million articles under its belt.
So if you want to learn how to realistically, and by this I mean slowly but very steadily, earn some money here on Helium read on. First of all, get any sort of notion about quick and easy cash out of your head. Helium pays, however, no one pays you to do nothing, so with that in mind let's get to work. If you were starting your own business you would need a business plan in order to get anywhere, same with this. You can create one on your own, or you can use the one I wrote up (mostly in form of calculations):
The first month:
- Make it a point to write at least 30 articles total this month
+ All of calculations for the first month will be based on the 30 article count, feel free to recalculate with a higher number
+ Do not be intimidated by such a big number, take it a day at a time (one article per day doesn't sound bad at all does it?)
- Out of those 30 articles have 22 be written into Empty Titles
+ Great thing about this is that you are not limited to the subjects already posted on the website, you can suggest your own titles
- Write the other 8 articles into competitive titles, choose topics with at least 3 articles already in them and write in them. Make sure you pick the titles in which you know you can beat the competition or get into at least the top 25%.
- Make sure you set some time apart each day for rating. You need to make 500 rates to have 5 stars, do not just randomly click through articles, you wouldn't want it done to you and the quality of your rating gets scored as well (you need your rating score to be 75%).
- I will mention revenue in calculations and set it for $1.00, that is about how much you can earn through it if you don't put any effort in (more on this will be explained later on)
- If you do what i listed so far you can earn 1 or 2 writing stars and the earning calculation for each is as follows:
+ One Star: Competitive articles: 8x.50= $4.00
Empty Title articles: 22x1.5= $33.00 (For each empty title you get $1 plus whatever you get per article at your current star status)
5 Star Rating Bonus: $3.00
Revenue: $1.00
First Article Bonus: $5.00
Total Earned in the first month = $46.00
+ Two Stars: Competitive articles: 8x1= $8.00
Empty Title articles: 22x2= $44.00
5 Star Rating Bonus: $3.00
Revenue: $1.00
Total Earned in the first month = $56.00
- If you put in at least 30 articles in your first month you can very well work up to 3 Stars, if you write quality articles that get rated to the top in your Competitive Titles and have those remain at 85% or more your earnings will be even higher than what has been shown here ($1.5 per each article posted!)
Second Month:
- You will need to put in a little more work into this one if you want to move up to the next level and get more earnings, this time we are shooting for the 100Th article. Now don't freak out, this is 100 articles total, so you really need to write only 70 articles.
- Again, do not let yourself get scared, take it a day at a time. Two or three smaller articles a day is not a big deal, you think about so many things throughout the whole day that at the end (or any other time you catch a break) you have plenty to write about!
- For the second month the same basic rules apply, except there will be no $5.00 bonus you received the first month.
- Calculations:
+ One Star:
Competitive articles: 17x.5= $8.50
Empty Title articles: 53x1.5= $79.50
5 Star Rating Bonus: $3.00
Revenue: $1.00
Total Earned in the second month = $92.00
+ Two Stars:
Competitive articles: 17x1= $17.00
Empty Title articles: 53x2= $106.00
5 Star Rating Bonus: $3.00
Revenue: $1.00
Total Earned in the first month = $127.00
+ Three Stars : $161.50
+ Four Stars : $197.00
- Things are looking much better aren't they? Just make sure that out of the total number of articles you have submitted at least 25% are in competitive titles and doing well and so will you!
You have probably figured out how to calculate how much you can earn with simple article writing to Helium, however there are other ways of earning money on this website. Earning through Revenue simply means that each time someone clicks on your article to read it Helium gets money and they give you a share of that. There are many ways out there to promote your articles and get traffic to them.
If you have any of the networking website accounts such as Facebook or MySpace be sure to put a link up to either your About Me page or to specific articles. Same goes for any other similar website, if you have a blog better yet and you know people read it, put the links up there. You can put a link into the signature of your emails or if you are a member of any forums put it into that signature. One very overlooked way to get clicks is by getting to know people right here on Helium! Say hi, give feedback for someones work, make a Zone, join a group and post on the forums!
All of these methods will get people to notice you, to get curious and to take a look at you and at your work. Helium also offers many contests where you can earn a nice little sum if you win. The Helium Marketplace is another part of the site where you can earn anywhere from $16 to $200 per article, if chosen. Think of it as Ebay for publishers and writers. Perhaps you can't (...or can you?) drop your job and do Helium full time, but it is a very nice supplemental income and it can pay a bill or two each month.
Before you write any articles make yourself familiar with the website, this might seem unnecessary and tedious but it will save you a lot of trouble and frustration down the road. The two links you should be familiar with are How to earn money at Helium and Helium Stars and Badges, once you have read through those you will have an idea of how things work, and any instructions you receive will be much easier to understand.

Summary: a great site for many starter writers, and even later on its a great supplemental income website
