Helium - Where knowledge rules

Can you give some examples of the type of money you can make?

I'll tell you 'itgetmoney'.

On Helium you write about hundreds of topics.Anyone can write in the same topic,and all article submissions in a topic are ranked from #1 article to last article.You are payed by revenue sharing.People from all-around use Helium as a way to inform them selfs,and sometimes click the Google ads when or after reading an article,that's when you get payed,you get about 0.01 - 0.02 cents per click.The more high ranked your article is in the topic title,the more clicks you are bound to get.
You can earn from articles you've written months ago,if someone clicks an ad while reading one.The more articles you have,the more revenue sharing you will get.There is not limit.Quality helps also of course.
Hope this helped.

That's good info, mafuu

I have seen a lot in surfing the net about Helium - all positive. It appears they are one of the top picks for article writing. I have signed up but haven't submitted anything yet. My biggest problem with article writing is that I need to schedule it and then stick to the schedule. It requires a bigger and more dedicated block of time. Its on my list, and Helium is definitely on my list!

Revenue sharing is pretty neat but I usually only use that on forums that have it, that I would post on anyway. IMO it isn't a great way to make money but it all depend on how many people actually look at your articles.

Helium recently launched their Local Guides program, where you can write about your hometown, or a city near you. Writing articles in this section also qualifies for their up front payments program. You can write about restaurants, real estate, night life, etc. and they also accept suggestions for titles. If you live in or near an interesting travel destination, and enjoy writing, this is worth checking out.
