The 411 on the InfoBarrel Income Opportunity ~ A Guest Post by Chris Hinton

The Problem

Over the decade I’ve worked with dozens of friends and family in an attempt to help them build a passive income stream using the Internet.  Throughout these attempts I’ve noticed two common problems.

Problem #1

People are very optimistic with the idea of making money online, however when they don’t see instant gratification and coupled with the monetary and time investments required in maintaining and promoting a web site, most people tend to quit before they ever start seeing any income.

Problem #2

Because it is human nature to get instant gratification, people tend to spend less time on the things they don’t know much about and wind up producing something that provides no end value to their users.  The web site winds up being covered in ads essentially dragging down the overall quality of the Internet instead of making it better.

By not creating value for end users, regardless of how much time you spend marketing, it will be nearly impossible to create return visitors and even harder to get people talking about your web site or business.

The Solution

Create a space where users would not have to be burdened with the financial costs of owning, maintaining and marketing a website and could simply focus on producing quality content to share with the world while still earning a substantial passive income.  By removing these problems we hope to increase the quality of content found on the internet and making it once again a safe place to find information.

In July 2008, with these ideals in mind InfoBarrel was born.

How it Works

InfoBarrel is a shared revenue crowd sourced community.  Essentially what that means, is the content of the site is entirely created by the users who frequent the site.  To compensate writers, we provide them with a minimum of 75% of the advertising impressions from Google Adsense, Chitika and Amazon.  We also have an escalating revenue share percentage that allows writers to earn up to 90% revenue share if they hit certain criteria.

There is no cost to the writer, and the site has had extensive marketing time invested into it resulting in great organic search engine results.  To date we have many writers making over $100 a month and a few making over $1000.  InfoBarrel has become one of the top destinations to earn money writing on the Internet.  Because of our passionate users and extensive marketing plan InfoBarrel has grown from a small site consisting of a few users to a thriving community with 31,000+ members that is growing on a daily basis.  We are also very dedicated to supporting our writer community by allowing them to personally email us with any issues that they may have encountered while at the site.  With one of our goals being to improve the quality of material found on the internet InfoBarrel also manually approves all new article submissions checking them for article quality and duplicate content among many other factors. The site been touted as the next best revenue sharing site by popular web entrepreneur Pat Flynn.

Why it’s Great for Work at Home Moms

Because of the opportunity to generate money while working from home, we have had an enormous surge of WAHMs publishing on InfoBarrel.  Since InfoBarrel requires much less of a commitment than running your own website, mothers are able to sit down and write an article when they have a free moment before returning to their busy lives.  We have a number of successful WAHMs most notably MommyMommyMommy.

Community

One of the things that I am most proud of in terms on InfoBarrel is how supportive our community has become.  The InfoBarrel Writers’ Community is one of the most tight knit, friendly groups of people online.  If you need advice on how to do something, even extremely simple, the community is there to help and there is never a stupid question.

Success Stories

InfoBarrel has been around for just over two years now and has already garnered several success stories, with at least two members making over $1000 a month, and a number of users making over $100.

The following are  just a few success stories of members:

JCMayer ($1000+ /moth now)

Travis_Aitch ($1000+ /month now)

ChezFat ($500+ /month now)

How to Make Money Blogging

Curious moms often wonder how to make money blogging. See, work at home jobs for moms are not limited to the ones you find posted in our job leads. In fact, many of the best work at home jobs are those that moms are creating for themselves. One such job is blogging, which is an excellent way of making money online.

Blog is short for “web log” and entails writing about a particular subject and publishing these writings on the web. For some people, a blog is like an online journal and for others, it’s an online business. In fact, many businesses use blogs to talk about their products and services, and some businesses just hire bloggers (people who write blogs) to write about their businesses for them. Still, some simply advertise their business on other people’s blogs through banner ads or with a couple of lines of text featured on a blog’s sidelines, which, by the way, happens to be one of the best ways that moms make money blogging.

If you’re interested in becoming a mom blogger, know that no experience is necessary and that you can even start a blog today with no out of pocket cost to you. There is, however, a lot to learn if you intend to make money blogging and the following websites can help you learn the ropes:
