Infobarrel explainer

What is it?

A site promoting a collection of articles on many different subjects. Unlike Ehow it’s not just a ‘How to’ site but does include that kind of article as well. Infobarrel encourages its writers to try different formats and styles. The site is also user moderated and you are able to copyedit other people’s articles for spelling mistakes etc.

How does it work?

You sign up as a member, create a profile and start writing articles. Your first ten pieces must go through a moderator before they are published. This apparently aims to cut down on spammers and keep the quality of writing up on the site.

How easy is it?

The way the site is set up is very easy to use. There are more options to create different styles of articles which may be more difficult for some people as with the open format it helps to have a basic knowledge of HTML. However there are several set formats which are easy to follow. Coming up with new and fresh material may be your only problem. Although, it’s a newer site than ehow so there are not as many articles already on the same subjects.

How do you get paid?

You receive a percentage of the advertising revenue from your articles. You need to have a Google Adsense account. Once you have one you submit your Adsense number to the Infobarrel site and you will receive your money straight into your Google adsense account.

How much money will you make?

Infobarrel says (at time of writing) it will give you 75% of the revenue made on your articles. You will need to pick the right subjects and make the pieces search engine friendly to optimise your income. Again it’s not a get rich quickly scheme and you will find your revenue increases over time. Especially if you increase your writing volume.
