Helium Tip: Post in forums

One tip that I have found that works (especially to help promote your work) is to post in message boards/forums, both on Helium and on other sites. This is helpful for different reasons. Here are helpful tips for whether you're posting on Helium or on other sites:

When posting on other Message Boards:
- Link to Helium in your signature - This helps to get people to click and come visit your writings.

- Find something that fits in with what you have written for Helium - If you find something that is along the same topic areas as what you have written, people are probably going to be more interested. Also, if you are posting about an area you have directly written on, you'll even be able to include a direct link to that without it being spamming, which is the way to do things. Spamming is not good.

- Post quality - The only way that people will want to read other things that you have written is to make quality posts. That way people will see that you are a good writer that has interesting things to say, and they will want to read more.

When posting on Helium forums:
- Do not include a link to your articles - This is not allowed on the Helium boards, which is a VERY GOOD policy.

- Be helpful - People will be more likely to go check out some of your articles if you are helpful on the forums. Try to avoid flaming people or being rude. Being kind and helpful is a good policy.

- Be informative - Like the previous comment, this will make people a lot more likely to check out some of your articles.
