If you are looking for ideas for articles to write for Helium, there is nothing better than your own life. I was once told by someone helping me out when I just started that your life is like an elevator. You can write about that one floor, and use it to give yourself some great ideas, and keep your focus. Those words are so true, and thinking about your own life like that can give you great ideas for articles on Helium.

The best way to write your articles is to focus on some of the main points, and make a your case for why that experience mattered. Working in retail for the past nine years has given me so many personal experiences to write about, but it can be hard to figure out how to fit it into one 500 word or so article. What is the formula to turn your life experience into something that you can relate to others.

First, you want to make sure that the idea is something that you can talk about, and make a point. Why are you telling me this? Why do I want to hear about you life. Keep in mind that a lot of first person stuff isn't going to make your article that favorable to readers, so you might want to limit the amount of first person you use. A couple of references are fine, but try to limit it to that.

You should let your personal experiences more or less guide your opinion of the topic, and let it flow from there. Suppose the topic was something about working with annoying people, and you have had experiences working with annoying people. If you are going to write about it, you should write about how to deal with those people, and just write it for informational purposes.

Personal experiences are great things to write about, and you should use them as often as possible. They are great because you already know how the story is going to unfold, and you already know all the facts and details. You don't need to do a lot of research, and you probably already know how to advise or help people in that situation.

Use your life to write great work. Just don't get caught up writing too much in the "I" form though, and you will have great things to write about, and have quality articles too.
