I forgot about it, but I do actually have a Helium account, where I get paid for page views. I suggested the site to my friend Michelle, then realized I should probably check on it. It turns out I’m near a payment threshhold even though I don’t have much up there. I should probably write there more often.
Hi Tara!
Thanks for telling other folks about Helium. You have some FANTASTIC articles on the site. If you spend some time leapfrogging improved versions of some of your lower ranked articles, you’ll have your second writing star (and maybe a bonus) in no time! I’ve written some articles about writing for writers on the web and writing effective leads, which many people have used to help them leapfrog successfully and climb in rank. You can find these in my article list at http://www.helium.com/users/13060.
You can be earning well right now if you spend a little time rating. I rated 10 article pairs for five days and got my first rating star. That’s all you need to do for an entire 90 day period. Once you have that rating star you’ll see your earnings climb. Plus, once you have that rating star you will start earning upfront payments for every single article you submit too.
If I can help further, shoot me an email at bwhitlock@helium.com. We’re happy to have you in our writing community, and we have a supportive community and responsive staff to help you climb to even greater success. We’re all cheering you on!
