Contemplating how to make a hundred dollars a day at Helium.com should be considered a challenge but by no means an impossible dream. The way in which one should view the concept is in that there are more ways to earn money on Helium.com than the straightforward, semi-fixed upfront payments that many will concentrate upon in this context. It is a form of lateral thinking which should therefore be adopted in pursuit of this definitely achievable goal.

The best place to start looking at how to earn a hundred dollars a day on Helium.com is with the upfront payment system. This is because although they are by no means guaranteed and the ongoing performance of one’s articles determines entitlement to upfront payments, these payments are nevertheless the most calculable of all which can be accrued on Helium.

The Helium upfront payment system allows a writer to build their personal rating dependant upon the number of articles one submits to Helium and how they are subsequently rated by one’s peers. If a writer accrues five writing stars, they can be eligible to earn two dollars and fifty cents per article written to the site. It is simple arithmetic to figure that in order to earn a hundred dollars a day purely from this income, the writer would be required to write forty qualifying articles.

Forty articles of the required length per day is a tall order for any writer, however prolific one may consider oneself to be. If, however, one also considers the empty title bonus of one further dollar per article which can also be earned on top of the two dollars and fifty cents, the figure drops still further. The dollar bonus is for being the first writer to write to an article title, whether one has suggested the title oneself or not, and could therefore mean that the articles required to be written in order to earn a hundred dollars a day drops to twenty-nine.

Royalty payments on Helium will tend to vary hugely dependant upon a great many factors. These are the additional earnings accrued on an ongoing basis for Helium articles which are related to the number of page views each article receives. If one is extremely adept at promoting one’s Helium articles around the Web, does not resort to spamming and knows a not inconsiderable amount of good fortune, these royalty payments can on occasion be made to represent a fairly significant sum of money.

The above factors do not take in to account one’s opportunities in recent times to create Helium zones, with Google Adsense revenue and affiliate sales commissions also available to Helium writers. All of these factors combined should be enough to confirm that if one is a prolific enough, skilled writer, earning one hundred dollars a day on Helium.com is far from being beyond the realms of possibility.
