Accumulating money automatically is a very common goal. Almost everyone aims to do this with savings by accruing interest on invested funds but what about earning money on a recurring basis for a set of articles? More and more people are taking the route of establishing passive income streams online to boost their monthly earnings or in some cases to completely replace them.

$750 in passive income from one site every month is a tall order however and would require a sizeable investment of time. When generating passive income you invest time and receive regular payouts just like you can invest money and earn interest regularly.

A pretty conservative estimate for ad revenue earnings on Helium is that one hundred articles will generate ten dollars a month between them. This is providing the articles are mainly of good quality and that you have the majority of your pieces in the higher paying channels. By this reckoning you will need seven thousand five hundred articles to earn seven hundred and fifty dollars a month.

Before you start freaking out over the number bear in mind that this is a long term investment aiming for a substantial regular payout, it's going to take an equally substantial investment of effort.

Consider also that you will be earning ad revenue and also upfront payments during this time so it's not as if you have to live with nothing before your goal is reached.

On Helium the channels which earn most ad revenue are business and finance, computers and technology and the health and fitness channels. Writing to these channels as often as possible will be pivotal to getting a good amount of revenue each day.

It's also important to think about being rated as high as possible. Higher positioning in the article rankings means more views and more money.

In order to get highly rated you need to work on improving your knowledge base. Can you present information or relate experiences which give your writing an edge? Check the Helium forum or reach out to the mentoring system for advice on improving the quality of your content and yank those ratings higher.

If the better part of ten thousand articles still feels a bit steep to you then take heart because you still have two more avenues open to you to increase ad revenue; SEO and article traffic.

SEO, search engine optimization, is the process of using keywords effectively in written web content in order to maximize it's visibility in search engines and therefore pull in more traffic. More traffic
