However, the ability to write good articles isn't enough in itself to make money at Helium.com. An Internet writer needs to be smart about how he or she writes and about what content areas he or she chooses to write in.

- Volume. Like many article submission web sites, volume is the key to making money on Helium.com. Many people who join Helium get discouraged after writing a few articles and earning a few cents (or less). My advice? Get a few hundred articles up, and then we can talk about making some money. That's a start. Get a few thousand articles up on Helium and we can talk about having a reliable source of residual income that doesn't require much maintenance.
- Content Area. Some topics are just make more money on Helium.com than others. Identifying which topic areas you are knowledgeable that also pay well is a matter of trial and error. For example, you might write one good article about artificial insemination and suddenly you've made $2 in a week on that one article. Write a hundred articles like that and you're talking about making ten thousand dollars in a year, without ever having to write another article.
- The Marketplace.The Marketplace is what makes Helium.com somewhat unique among article submission web sites. The Marketplace provides a way for Internet writers to immediately make money oh Helium.com by placing their writing directly before publishers. Even if your Marketplace submission doesn't get picked up, it will stay on Helium.com and continue to earn recursive income.
- Referrals.The referral program is another way to make money at Helium.com. Through the referral program, you will earn 5% of whatever your referrals make on their writing (not including contest and promotional income). This means that, if you can recruit 20 people who will make the same amount of money that you make on Helium, you have effectively doubled the amount of money that you make on Helium.com.
- Ratings.Finally, the fact is that your higher-rated articles are going to be seen by more readers, and therefore make more money for you on Helium.com. To get higher ratings, be meticulous about spelling, grammar, formatting and the like.
