There are several methods of obtaining feedback on Helium articles. Often new members make the mistake of thinking there is no-one to turn to for help and advice, and this belief couldn't be further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that Helium is a community of writers who are only too willing to help and advise other members seeking that help. Just because there is no comment box doesn't mean your article is not being read or that people aren't interested in helping you, as a writer, advance.

Asking for help.

If you would like help with your articles and want feedback, the community forums provide an area for feedback from other members. This is a valuable and voluntary service given by members who have time on their hands and are willing to help. To get to the community forum, press My Helium, and then on the left hand side, there is a link to Community. On arriving in the Community, scroll down and look for the feedback forums. These are amazingly helpful and writers are usually kind but honest in their appraisal of your work.

Mentoring system.

Helium, unlike many writing sites who don't care, offer a mentoring service, which can be reached at Mentor@helium.com The way to approach this is to use the Article tools. Open the article upon which you need feedback, and use the article tools to send by email to the address given. Tell them your frustration and within a short time, you will get an email back telling you points to address to make your article rise higher in the ranks.

Stewards of appropriate channels.

The Stewards on Helium are only too glad to help members within their channel or sub-channel. These can be approached for help at any time and can be accessed here. Never be afraid to approach Stewards as it is their job to help writers within the community develop their work.

Helium messaging.

Chances are that from time to time, members will message you to give you feedback. If they read an article within the rating area, they have the ability to message the writer, and these messages are often a great clue to what needs doing to an article to improve it. The feedback you get from members is a valuable tool for improvement and advancement on Helium. Listen to criticism and take it kindly as, although it may seem curt at times, people are trying to help
