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
