Maximize your potential and earnings as a great article writer.
Do you like to write articles or do you want to begin pursuing this endeavor to share your opinions, make money, teach other people how to do various things or educate the world about magnificent things or events? Are you currently writing articles for web sites such as Helium? Helium is an extraordinary paid article site that revolves around a system that is very friendly to writers but includes special standards that must be adhered to. You will learn how to successfully write articles for Helium and obtain the maximum benefit from your membership.
Helium provides a system in which articles are written by some members and then rated by other members. A quality rating system helps make Helium a spectacular site for the company and its writers. Because your ability to earn revenue from your articles on an everyday basis directly depends on good rates you provide, you must first learn how to become a great rater for Helium.
When you want to rate articles on a given day, log into your Helium account and click “Rate”. Thoroughly read the two articles that are posted side by side for you and vote for the article that has more substance and more closely fits the designated article title than the other article.
Now that we have finished discussing rating, we will solely focus on what it takes to be a successful writer for Helium. One thing you must do is follow Helium’s user agreement. You cannot write an article that has all capital letters and your article cannot include vulgar language; plagiarism; language that personally promotes your business or anything related to your business; or your name. Put your bio on your profile page.
Helium will let you submit an article you have written on almost any topic but you cannot simply submit your article and provide any title you want to use. You must either submit your article to a title that is already listed or suggest a title and wait for approval. Because you are submitting your article to an established title, it is imperative to write your article with a tight focus. Your article must heavily revolve around the title. Do not write your article about two different topics unless they are closely related.
Start your article with a good introductory paragraph that contains at least two or three sentences that explain what your article is about and how the reader will benefit from reading your entire article. The body of your article should fully deliver on what is promised in the beginning. Conclude your article with a powerful statement that urges the reader to follow the advice you have provided.
Write your articles with plenty of depth by providing lots of information that will directly help the reader. Give the reader as many tips as you can on how to do what you want her to do.
Avoid redundancy. I sometimes must vote against an article I rate on Helium because the author pretty much says the same things over and over again.
Write your articles with plenty of heart. In addition to providing good information, include information that is crucial for the reader to use to go far or perhaps preserve his safety or life. You have to do what it takes to beat your competition when you write for Helium.
Be willing to adapt. If you must submit your article to a title that only fits your article a little bit, make adjustments to your introduction and other parts of your article so that fellow Helium writers will know exactly what you are talking about when they rate your article in comparison to the adjacent article.
Edit your Helium articles that rank poorly. Once you are logged in, click “My Helium” < “My Articles”, then click “Article Options” for the article you want to edit, then click “Leapfrog This Article” to make changes.
Look for article titles that have no articles posted to them. A good way to find these titles is to look at the list of article titles posted under “Writers Needed” on your “My Helium” page. Once you find an article title that is a title you can write to and has no articles posted to it, hurry up and write an article for it to get an empty title bonus of one dollar for being the first person to write to the title provided that you have at least one rating star and one writing star at the end of the month. Read Helium’s site to see how you can get rating and writing stars.
The best way to make lots of money writing for Helium is to write a marketplace article that you have not previously published. View the list of titles daily and do everything the publisher paying for the article wants you to do once you start writing.
If Helium sends you an E-mail notice saying it has deleted one of your articles because it is off topic regarding the title it was posted to, keep your cool. Blow away your frustration, make necessary changes to the article draft in your message and repost it to another title if you have to. You can type in special keywords in Helium’s search box to look for a title that is a great fit for your article.
Write articles for Helium that will likely bring you good revenue. You should not write too many articles on personal morals and values because they do not pay well. Try to write articles that teach one how to keep a job or recruit someone. Articles pertaining to employment and other things such as the art of public speaking tend to bring Helium writers good money.
Follow these steps to be a successful writer for Helium!
