Helium’s Long-Term Earners Contest titles are expected to get a lot of ongoing search traffic. These topics will be popular throughout the year and bring continual earnings. The traffic to your article may not spike immediately, but should earn better than the average title over the long haul! Don’t forget, if the title is empty or has fewer than five articles, and you’re a starred writer, you’ll be eligible for Upfront Payments or an Empty Title Bonus.

How the Long-Term Earners Contest works:

• Each contest consists of 20 titles with a two-week writing period. New contests go live each week. Please submit magazine-style articles that are NOT in the first person point of view, unless the title specifically asks for it.
• Submission dates: Starts Wednesdays at 16:00 GMT and ends 14 days later on Tuesdays at 23:59 GMT. (Get your current GMT time: Type in “current time gmt” into a Google search window.)
• Awaiting calculation dates: After the submission period, an additional week is provided for article rating to reach community consensus. All titles in the contest are closed to further submissions and Leapfrogs during this time. (Your article’s rank may fluctuate wildly or hardly move.)
• Winners: Winners are typically announced on Wednesday, the week after the submission period ends and prizes credited by week’s end. Read more about winner selection and contest points on the Contest Rules page.
• Completed contest: Once the contest is closed and the results announced, the titles to that contest will reopen for general writing submissions.

Be sure to read a copy of Helium’s Writing Standards before you enter the contest.
