Documenting the Progress of My Info Barrel eBook - Part 17
(Scroll Down to See Our Chart about how Info Barrel Compares to Website Elites Like eHow, Squidoo, and HubPages!)
Seventeen eBook Course "status updates" later, and we don't blame you one bit if you are subconsciously thinking "Not another eBook update! When are these guys gonna finally release this thing!". The truth is, however, that we can't begin to explain just how monumental this project has become. As we continually identified 'needs' of the collective Info Barrel community, it became clear that we simply couldn't provide the best quality product if we were to just release one eBook. Knowing full well that writers on Info Barrel also write for several other websites concurrently, both Jason and I felt very strongly that we had to do everything within our power to provide a 'Last-stop' resource for writers, regardless of where they choose to submit content.
As much as we would love to see you write for Info Barrel, we just had to make our eBook intentionally flexible so that you can use it whether you write for eHow, Squidoo, HubPages, Triond, Xomba, Bukisa, Associated Content, or a variety of other similar websites. So, while the name "Info Barrel" appears just about everywhere on our eBook course, it's contents, principles, and strategies are in no ways limited to just your thoughtful application to the Info Barrel platform. In fact, we have taken great strides to ensure that our Social Media Promotion principles and Search Engine Optimization strategies can be applied regardless of where you choose to write.
In preparation for our eBook Course launch, we thought it would be a great idea to begin giving you all a sneak preview of testimonials that have been filtering in. Before launching any product, whether it be a Swiffer or a George Foreman Grill, it was absolutely imperative that we filtered our product out to certain individuals (Bloggers, and Info Barrel members), in order to garner the best possible feedback and suggestions. The last thing we had wanted to do was release a garbage product, or simply one that failed to adequately meet our customer's needs. We have read the eBooks of those who have written them for 'similar' website platforms, and we have also read their reviews across cyberspace. We have expounded upon their strengths, and addressed their limitations and weaknesses.
We truly believe that we have developed the best possible product for writers who are hoping to earn from the submission of articles of content, regardless of whether you choose to write for Info Barrel, or for a variety of other website platforms. Moving forward, we would just like you all to know that one of the reasons why this is taking so long is because the sheer amount of substantial content we have provided. Where others were satisfied with charging quite a hefty sum for a single eBook that was 30-50 pages long, our Main eBook alone, is well over 160 pages (Single-spaced, 12-Font).
Each one of our complementary guides is roughly 30-50 pages long, and is filled with quite a few screenshots, strategies, techniques, and personal experiences of trial and error. We weren't satisfied with providing you with a mediocre product. We truly believe that this product will ultimately make the Info Barrel community better, resulting in a higher quality of content, that will ultimately benefit everyone involved (because of the direct correlation to higher Google Favor, and individual earning's potential). This book, we believe, will be the impetus to taking Info Barrel to the next level.
While you don't have to do this, our SUGGESTION to you would be to begin solidifying a presence for yourself on similar platforms. Writing articles about the potential of Info Barrel can be a great way to not only increase your referrals here, but, when our affiliate program is launched and banners are provided, you will be able to capture sales, and earn a commission on each one. If needed, feel free to use our Website Comparison Chart Graph for your writing endeavors, on similar platforms.
- HubPages Currently has over 125,000+ Members!
- Squidoo has over 1,024,000+ Members Registered on it's Forum, Alone!
- eHow sees at least 180,000,000+ Annual Visitors!
The aforementioned websites may be the most popular currently, but do any of them come even remotely close to the generosity behind Info Barrel's Revenue Share Model?
We are giving EVERYONE who sees this post a MAJOR Head-Start here! Develop your online presence, direct users to Info Barrel, grow this platform, and you WILL stand a chance to earn a significant amount with our Affiliate program!
Stay-Tuned for Future Updates!

I'm sorry that we do not have further information on our Affiliate Program. We can assure you, however, that there will be one. This is the first product Jason and I have ever launched, so we can only guess to what extent people will actually even be willing to purchase this product.
Our plan is to only have a small handful of affiliates, at least to begin with.
Please, Comment here if you would be interested in becoming an Affiliate, so that we can make note of who you are.
Thanks!
Howie
I have a feeling this Ebook is going to be huge. Just look at the writers who created Ebooks based on Ehow early in their creation and now are bringing in big bucks. I should know, I used to be a big affiliate seller of Writergig's book.
You guys are getting in on the ground floor for not just posting articles, but also helping others to do the same. I can not wait to hear about this affiliate program. I have been promoting Info Barrel on my blog for some time because I really think that it is a great venture. So I would definitely be interested in being an affiliate for the ebook when it comes out.
Geargirl,
It would be great to have you on board! :) Pat Flynn (who did the testimonial for us above)....had told us that he generally does 1-3 sales per day for Writergig's eBook....
Has your experience been similar?
....Pricing is the 'trickiest part' here....people have told us to launch the entire package for $97, however, we have chosen to debut it at a much more conservative number....and, also offer multiple price point entries....(4 packages)
Ultimately, we want our sales page to convert very well for affiliates...but, also to have outtstanding material for customers....
If you'd be interested, here is our current sales page:
http://www.ebookscreated.com/infobarrel/order.html
It is not quite finished....and, it is currently hosted on the domain of the gentleman who designed our eBook graphics.....
We do know that, as much as we would like to this that this could be BIG, that there is no guarantee that it will actually sell...we hope it will and have had many people say they would be interested in purchasing, however, there is a BIG difference between saying you will, and actually doing it.....
So, I'll keep in touch with you about the affiliate program. We have to crunch numbers, and explore some possibilities, but we do intend on having one in the future.
P.s. What is your blog, geargirl? :)
My blog is www.singlemomfreelancewriting.com. My experience was about the same as Pat's when I was promoting the book more and talking about my ehow earnings.
Pat Flynn is a great testimonial. I have been reading his blog for a long time. He has a great reputation for being honest about what works and what doesn't
Keep going you must be nearly ready. thanks again for the update.
Very nice, and keep up the good work. Hopefully you will have it done soon. But quality and correctness over rushing it out is much better.
I like the comparison chart. I'm interested in the affiliate. Are you guys actually selling this already or no? From your website it looks like it is up and running, ready for sale.
Not quite yet, jpwriter....the website is coming along, but, we haven't quite finished the formatting/editing of ALL 6 products included in the course....
It's been a monumental project...phew...
Hey, Howie... do you have a website up for the eBook yet? If you do, I'd love to look it over.
I'm excited to see what you guys come up with. :)
Hey mswengel,
We do have our site currently hosted HERE:
http://www.ebookscreated.com/infobarrel/index.html
....that's the hosted edition, however, everything from the sales copy text to other images, have gone through a significant transformation since....
When our course is finished, we'll be launching the updated version of the website on http://www.infobarrelsuccess.com
