About Us
InfoBarrel is a community of writers who spend their time creating amazing content geared towards helping readers either educate themselves or solve a problem. InfoBarrel is built in a manner that we reward our writers for creating this amazing content. Writers can choose to either donate their earnings to charity, or build a passive income stream through a number of advertising channels.
Essentially InfoBarrel shares the potential revenue generated by an authors content directly with the author. . We have created a venue for writers, media producers and other content developers to publish their material and create an extra revenue source. Not only do we want to help content producers, but we also want to attract visitors from all around the world with information that provides value to their daily lives. Whether the value is created through a simple how-to tie a tie article, a salad recipe or early Roman history, it is our goal to be your information destination.
The concept behind InfoBarrel came to us in 2007 while amidst a game of Raquetball and was merely a concept until we began developing the site early 2008. InfoBarrel launched in beta form on July 31,2008 and has been growing rapidly ever since.

I think the charity idea is a great one! Will users get to vote for the charity?
Hey Nick! We haven't worked out all the details yet, but I think we would definitely let the donating members help in the decision! Hopefully we'll have this going in the next month or so!
I look forward to reading some of your articles.
Thanks a lot for thinking of charity in your endeavors. Free online knowledge and information creates that added value for people which in turn creates the revenue streams regardless of what we do. As long as we keep supporting each other, it goes back in helping people to evolve and survive.
Wow, i'm so glad i read this. I have a much better understanding of the concept. I also love the charity aspect as well.. My questions, how are you going to decide which charities to donate to? Also,
What are your thoughts on google and how will they treat info barrel in the future? I'm worried that if i focus on creating great content just on ib, google with slap ib down the track for some random reason..
Hey Brixxyx,
We haven't launched the charitable aspect of the site yet as we are still in the advanced developmental stages of the site, we plan on creating polls to decide which charity will be used on a monthly/quarterly basis.
In regards to preventing any sort of penalties, we are a moderated site. We aim to make sure every article published contains some sort of value to the end reader. We are ensuring we stay within Google's Webmaster Guidelines and plan to continue to be looked upon as a valuable source of information by keeping quality standards high.
Great to 'meet' the team! I'm new here, but I love it so far! Thanks for making a great platform to promote our writing, guys!
