I have joined InfoBarrel. What now?

2012-01-21T21:35:00.002+02:00

Okay, so my last post made you so excited that you joined up immediately after reading it. You are now part of the InfoBarrel community, you have created a stunning user profile and you are at a loss about what to do next.

I have a few suggestions which you can follow or not follow at your own discretion. Here goes:

On the InfoBarrel site, go right to the bottom of the home page. So remember, start at the bottom :-) Go right to the bottom where the copyright sign is. Next to that is a tab called "Terms of Service". Read the boring Terms of Service. It is important that you know what you can or can not do.
Still at the bottom of the page is another tab called "Privacy Policy". Read that as well.
Then go to XML Sitemap and memorize the page. Kidding. You don't have to go to the XML Sitemap, it is gibberish.
A bit higher up on the left of the page are some Site Links. Explore the site through those links. Get to know the four vibrant young guys that started all this, see who will be (hopefully) approving your articles that you submit.
Next to Site Links is another tab called Help. This is where you are really going to learn a lot about how the InfoBarrel site works, how to get started, etc. The FAQ section alone is like a university.
If you want, you can read through a couple of the archives and see how InfoBarrel has been growing since inception in 2008. It makes real interesting reading.
Now you are ready to go to "Explore InfoBarrel" and get a feel for how your articles should look by reading some of the articles that have been submitted by others in the InfoBarrel community. There are a lot of motivational articles by some of the top earners on InfoBarrel. See what they are earning and see yourself also earning that kind of money - very inspiring, I must add.
Next, scroll right to the top of the Home page and work through the tabs from left to right. Now you will see that InfoBarrel even has a blog and a forum. A blog is something like you are seeing right now when you look at my Blog About InfoBarrel, and a forum is one of the coolest things on the internet. This is where you meet all the other members of the community, where you can ask questions and receive answers to your questions, and where you can introduce yourself to everybody else. So come on, do it - go and introduce yourself - NOW! :-) The forum is the place to learn all the tricks of the trade and should be visited often. Don't forget that you get points for your interaction on the forum. You can see how many points you have earned and what the points are for on your profile page.

Now that you can navigate the site successfully and have introduced yourself to all the other InfoBarrellers, it is time to rest.

Rest well, because from this point forward, you are going to submit good articles one after the other and build up a substantial residual income over the next couple of months and years. I never said it was easy, but persevere and you will reap the fruits of your hard work for years to come.

Keep your eyes peeled for my next post. I am thinking of doing a motivational- and how-to post on writing articles. You are going to need it. Enjoy the process!

What is InfoBarrel?

What is InfoBarrel?

InfoBarrel is a website where a cool community of writers come together to create quality content for the web. And by writing this cool content, they earn money! If you want to have a quick look at the site, go here.

How do you earn money on InfoBarrel?

You earn money in 4 different ways:

Google Adsense
Chitika
Amazon
Referrals

Cool!

Google Adsense Earnings explained:

I will create a special page to explain exactly what Google Adsense is. For now, we will concentrate on how you earn money with InfoBarrel and Google Adsense.

InfoBarrel pays you for Adsense clicks. In other words, when you write an article for InfoBarrel and it gets approved and is live on the web, Adsense places targeted adverts on your page. These ads are chosen to blend in with the overall theme of your article. So when someone reads your article and they are interested in whatever you are writing about and maybe want to buy a product related to your article, they can click on the advert on your page and that's where you make your money.

InfoBarrel pays you as a writer 75% of earnings from Google Adsense, which of course is amazing!

If you write articles for InfoBarrel and you want to earn money from the Google Adsense ads on your InfoBarrel articles you have to have a Google Adsense account. If you don't already have a Google Adsense account, you will have to sign up for one, because you will need to set up your Google Adsense Publisher ID on your InfoBarrel account. (Don't worry yet about how to do this, I will get to it in a later post. Just follow this blog and I will teach you what I have learnt so far. Remember, I am a total newbie, just like you.)

Can you see the potential here? It speaks for itself that the more articles you write, the more you can earn!

Chitika and Amazon works on the same principle. You sign up with them and get your code, which you will place on your account and then you earn money from there as well. (Once again, more in a later post).

This is getting cooler and cooler by the minute!

Referrals explained

Now here's the real cool stuff! If you are a member of InfoBarrel, you can refer other people to the site so that they can also write articles and make money. You will get a referral link which you set up to your account. InfoBarrel pays you 2% of Adsense revenue that these referrals make for EVER and EVER! I agree, it doesn't sound like much, but the BEAUTY of this whole system is that it generates a residual income for life! Residual means that after a couple of years you don't have to do squat to earn money! I told you this is the coolest stuff ever :-)

I'm so excited! How do I sign up?

Simply click here and you will be guided the rest of the way.

I have a twitter account and I will always update on Twitter when I publish a new article on InfoBarrel or if I publish a new post on this blog. Every now and then I place a link to interesting tips and tricks for the newbie on Twitter, so be sure to have a look and follow me on Twitter.
