Infobarrel is a concept that was developed by Ryan McKenzie and Kevin Hinton of Hinzie Media Inc.

After years of trying to get friends and family involved in creating secondary revenue streams online with limited success we decided to create something where people could gain all the benefits of running a profitable web site without having to worry about all the logistics behind running the web site itself. People can come, create content and generate revenue based on creating great material. No more worrying about getting a web site designed, programmed or where to host your site; all you have to do is create the best content you can and reap the benefits of having a full fledged site.

To put it in less words, InfoBarrel.com is a Shared Revenue Social Media Community. We are creating 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 instructions on how to make an amazing cocktail, it is our goal to be your information destination.

The concept behind InfoBarrel came to us in 2007 while amidst a game of Racquetball and was merely a concept until we began developing the site early 2008.

We have big plans for InfoBarrel.com! In the very near future we are going to give our users the ability to write content for charity. What does that mean? It means that all money generated by 'charity content' will go directly to the charity of the month. We plan on changing the charity on a monthly basis, because, to be perfectly honest, there are so many needy causes out there, and we want to do our best to contribute to as many as possible.

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.

If you are referring to the charity aspect, we are working to get that going, but we have been more focused on working out all the little bugs that pop up and implementing new features that we are hearing writers want.

We hope to get to it this summer. Once we get some news we will post it on the blog.

I have joined infobarrrel and just sent in my article. As soon as I get in the system I will getting more articles in. There are pretty good reviews on inforbarrel. Writing for charity is a good one. You see in this economic climate if we cant donate money, the least we can do is write artices for the sake of charity. My vote to you.

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.
