Writing tips for Helium writers

Writing on Helium doesn't have to be a complicated thing, however there are a few things that will help make your writing and you a more successful here on Helium. Helium has a revenue sharing model (that as of yet they have not revealed exactly how it works), that allows you to get a portion of Helium's revenue from your content. On the Internet content is how you make the money. The more content you have the more traffic you will draw and the more money you will make from any and all of your advertisers. Helium shares that money with you (and me). However, many people want to know, "How do I make more on Helium?"

Write Your Best.
No one sets out to write a bad article. You want to write one that is rated in the top, and not the bottom. To do this, write your best.

On a hundred articles that is about 8-12 dollars a month. This really isn't much and to bring in a nice sized passive income it is best to aim for 2000+ articles, but you still aren't replacing your day job with that!

Evaluate Your Articles.
As time goes by you will see the articles that consistantly make the most money. For example 6-8 of my top 10 money makers each month are articles from the jewelry making section (yep, I just told you one area you can make money from). I sometimes have a hard time writing articles there that don't take pictures, but I make the most money from them and therefore try hard to write lots of articles in that category. Other big money makers for me are holistic health were I write about home remedies. You will see that you have certain
