How to earn money at Helium

We pay our writing members because it’s the right thing to do. Think of Helium as a co-op — we’re all stakeholders. We provide the publishing platform and the marketing investment to attract writers, readers and advertisers, while the community — that’s you — writes, rates and moderates the site. For all your efforts, you share in a percentage of Helium’s revenue.Helium pays members based on the value of each article, which is based on a combination of three market factors:

  1. Article quality: The best-written and highest-ranked articles earn the most money. Why? Because quality matters. Those ranked at the top will be read more often and are considered more valuable to Helium members, readers and advertisers.
  2. Traffic: How many readers are interested in the article’s topic? Some subjects draw more total viewers than others. Topics and articles with more page views earn more money.
  3. Advertiser interest: Some topics have higher-paying advertisers or more buzz than others. Each topic attracts a unique set of advertisers with varying budgets. For example, subjects in the area of personal finance will generally draw a higher ad rate than subjects like chess.
Ways to earn on Helium by writing

You can earn through writing articles and contributing to Debates. But there are more ways. You can also enter:

  • Contests: Helium loves to hold writing contests. And they help you earn some extra cash! They can be seasonal, topical or run indefinitely. They are a fun way for Helium members to increase their writing skills by writing to selected channels and topics. If you win, earnings show up in your account immediately.

When contests are being held, the main Contests page explains how the contest works and what’s expected of you. Typically we’ll also display running contest statistics. Of course, there you’ll find a link to more in-depth rules.

If you’re looking to earn some relatively big money, bring your A-game. Check out the latest Helium contests today.

  • Marketplace: Get hired by publishers — write to Marketplace titles today.

Marketplace provides access to big-name publishers looking for freelancers. Currently, earnings range from $16 to $200 per article! Marketplace article titles are specific in their needs, which are described by each publisher. If the publisher chooses your article, you get paid as soon as possible.
