What does it all mean?
Writing Stars: Stars are based on the intersection of your number of articles and your writing score. Find the details on Writing Stars, as well as the chart that explains where you are, on the Helium Stars & Badges page of our User Guide.
Writing Score: Seeing your stars twinkle on and off? You’re probably on the cusp between scores. Focus on getting your percentage up, especially before the end of the month when Upfront Payments are calculated. Need a little feedback to improve? Visit the Writing Critiques Forum.
Total non-Creative Writing articles: At Helium, we help you determine how your Creative Writing pieces are doing separately from your other work. Your Writing Stars are based on the number of non-Creative Writing pieces only.
% of articles in competitive titles: Basically, you need to maintain at least 25% of your non-Creative Writing articles in competitive titles. (A title becomes competitive when it has three or more articles written to it.) Caution: If this percentage nears 25% or dips below 25%, add more articles to competitive titles or you’ll be in danger of losing your Writing Stars! (See Point 1 under the Writing Stars section on the Helium Stars & Badges page.
Rating stars: Your Rating Stars are based on the higher of your 90-day and 30-day scores.
Rates in past 30 days: Great news! You now need only 10 quality rates in 30 days to get that first Rating Star and maintain 30 rates over 90 days. Get the low-down on Rating here in the User Guide.
Rates in past 90 days: You now need 30 quality rates in 90 days. Get the low-down on Rating here in the User Guide. Your Rating Stars are based on the higher of either your 90-day or your 30-day score.
