The best way to make more money on Helium is to write articles in the money making channels. Some of the most money making channels like technology, health, and business, generate more profits.

Once a topic has been decided upon, research the subject thoroughly then read the first two articles in the category to make sure you can add to the subject and not simply repeat what another writer has already said.

Never type directly into the submission box. Errors commonly occur and hours of hard work can be lost. Instead, type the article off line so it won't get lost. Good writers should keep a copy of all their articles anyway.

Begin the article using key words. The first paragraph is the most important to draw the reader in. Formatting is very important. Whole blocks of words will get rated down quickly. (This article is correctly formatted.)

Most good articles should be 400 words or more. If you are using ms word, use the appropriate icon to paste the article into the block then check for errors and use the preview button. It only takes a few seconds and it's better to be safe than sorry.

If the article doesn't rise in rank, go back and check again for errors. It's very easy to miss them and one little error can keep a perfectly good article back. If the article gets rated down, it won't get many hits. Having a lot of articles does little good if no one is reading them. Check out your earnings page and see which articles are getting the most hits then write more articles in this channel.

The better the article is written, the better the rank and the top ranked articles get the most hits. However, articles can draw more hits by using key words. Think about what people commonly search for on the Internet. Things such as "how to" and "what is " are what many people type into the search bar.

Let's say someone wants to save money on their car insurance. Typically, they would type in, "how to save money on car insurance " or if someone wants to learn about thyroid problems they would type, "thyroid problems?"

For example, an article on how to save on car insurance could begin with something like, "How to save money on car insurance is a question that's on the minds of many these days." This is a little crude but makes the point.

Writing articles in the higher profit channels is hard work. It takes a lot of research and time. But when it comes to profit, it makes little sense to spend a whole day writing dead articles which may earn a few pennies when a better, more professional article could earn much more.

Search for hot topics. At one time, Mesothelioma articles on the Internet were getting hundreds of hits per day. Bird flu was a very hot topic when it first started hitting the news so keep an eye out for hot topics.

Finally, Seasonal topics such as Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving are also good to have as they get popular every time the particular season rolls around.
