You only need to make a few digital product sales each month to increase your info barrel earning potential by hundreds of dollars. The plus side to this as well, is if readers don’t click on your affiliate links, they are likely to click on another ads which again will make you money. If you look around Info Barrel lots of writers are now taking advantage of this and promoting affiliate products in their signature.

You will notice that some of them have images, but this is against Info Barrels terms so I would stay well clear of having banner images in your signature.  InfoBarrel recently stated that they have disabled the ability to add images, but it is still possible because quite a few of the top writers are still displaying images in their signatures.  Personally I am sticking to the terms, because I don’t want to be editing my signatures later down the road, when all that shows up is web code.

Anyway back to this months challenge, I have already began the challenge and I’m 3 articles in so far. I’ve started promoting Clickbank products in my signatures, because the commission is usually very high, anything below 50% commission is considered poor if you are selling your products through Clickbank. Clickbank have so many different products to promote, I am going to be concentrating on products that fix problems. Most of the top selling products on Clickbank are usually the latest Internet Marketing releases, but these are coming out weekly. So these products quickly go out of date, meaning they are harder to sell years down the line.

One thing I will not be doing, is promoting the product in the article. I will produce articles that give advice on a subject, and promote products in my signature relating to this niche.  This method as been around for years now and the bottom line is,  it works. Especially on more authority sites such as Ezinearticles. I’m an expert author on Ezine and I am still making commissions because it works.

I am just using Ezine for back links now though, and using revenue sharing websites such as InfoBarrel to grow my online income. I plan on back linking each article I write using, dofollow blog commenting, article directory submissions and social bookmarking. My plan is to write these 100 articles within the next few months and find out what revenue they can add to my InfoBarrel monthly income.

Oh and before I forget my adsense earnings for the month of September so far has increased and I am on target for my biggest earning month so far whilst writing for Info Barrel. Long may it continue!

On the homepage of InfoBarrel there is a top writer tab, if you click on this tab you are presented with a list of the top 12 writers with the largest amount of published InfoBarrel articles. I have said many times before if you can get yourself into the top 6 by the end of 2010, you will be earning a decent amount of cash from InfoBarrel. So with this in mind I have decided that this month’s challenge is about me trying to get myself into the top 6 writers for most article published.

I’m in the top ten already, but I’m around 40 articles away from being at position 6. So to succeed at this months InfoBarrel challenge I have to write at least 40 more articles, and hope that writers around me do not start churning out the articles. A part of me is hoping that they do, to give me the motivation to step up my game and try to get into the top 6 before the end of may.

My long term goal for 2010 is to get around 1000 articles published, if each article was only going to make me one dollar a month, my infobarrel income is going to be 1000+ every month. If I knuckle down and keep writing unique 500+ word articles, I’m almost certain that my Infobarrel income will be pushing 1000+ dollars per month.

This month I have seen a dramatic rise in amazon commissions, and the only thing I put this down to is with me applying cloaked affiliate links into my Infobarrel articles.  I’ve been making an amazon sale nearly every day, and this is with minimal traffic from my Infobarrel articles. If I can get myself into the top 6, I reckon I will be on target for another 100%+ rise in my InfoBarrel income.

I’ve got a 15% head start already , because I managed to score over 30 points which increased my infobarrel income from 75% to 90%. I plan on doing this every month from now on, you won’t see me writing 2 to 3 articles. That would be stupid and I would be leaving a lot of money on the table, money which would be better in my pocket. It doesn’t matter how busy I get in the future I will keep trying my best to add articles to the site.

I want Infobarrel to grow, because if they grow my income grows. The only way we as Infobarrel writers can make the site grow is by adding more articles. If you are struggling to find motivation to write for the website, set yourself little challenges each month like I am and you will start writing more articles I’m sure of that.

I don’t just write articles for Infobarrel I’ve got other websites and blogs to look after, and the 100 Infobarrel Article challenge certainly ate into a lot of my time. Was it worth it, well I achieved what I set out to do and that was to increase my adsense revenue my 100%.  I managed to increase my adsense earnings by a mammoth 151%, which is good news. Plus I also seen a massive increase in my Info Barrel amazon commissions as well. I’m now making at least one amazon sale a day just from my InfoBarrel articles. My Info Barrel income is growing much quicker than I first imagined which I am over the moon about.

Because I have now added another 56 articles to my Infobarrel account, this is only going to grow my income as my articles age and Infobarrel gain more pagerank and web authority. I’m glad I set this challenge, otherwise I would of probably only of written about 20 articles on Infobarrel this month.

Growing your Infobarrel earnings is a numbers game, the more articles you have out there in cyberspace the more money you are going to make. I’ve got nearly 250 articles on Infobarrel now, my next step is to get to 500 and then eventually to 1000 Infobarrel articles.

My plan by the end of 2010 is to get my Infobarrel earnings into the thousands, I can only achieve this if I keep writing articles.  I am currently thinking about what the challenge will be for May, one thing is for sure it will not involve writing another 100 articles. Now that the weather is getting hotter, I tend to play a bit more golf. Which means less time spent on the Internet and more time spent of the golf course.

But I still plan on writing around 50 articles, but I’m not sure what subjects these 50 articles are going to be on yet. Infobarrel does get addictive though, as you keep writing more articles your revenue keeps growing which is a fantastic incentive to keep writing.

Plus if you don’t write any articles your revenue share is 75% which is still fantastic. But by simply writing several articles each month you can up this to 90%. Some of the big earners on Infobarrel, do not write some months, but they are throwing lots of cash down the drain by not upping their revenue share.

Let’s say an Infobarrel writer earns $1000 a month, he could up this to $1150 a month by just writing those several articles that will not only earn the writer more cash each month. But is worth a whopping $150 extra. These writers might not have the time each month to write these articles, if that is the case then pay something to write the articles for you. I’m sure that several well written articles are going to cost you a lot less than the $150 that you will throw down the drain by not doing it. To become a successful Internet Marketer you simply can’t throw money down the drain like this.

I managed to increase my revenue share to 90% for next month and as my Infobarrel earnings grow bigger I would be an absolute fool not to keep it at 90% from now on. I’m not at the earning levels of the top earners yet. But if I keep working hard and writing articles, hopefully I will start catching them up very soon. I am doing a lot of experimenting, the bottom line is to squeeze as much money as you can out of each Infobarrel article.

Adsense and affiliate income is all about the numbers the more unique content you have out there in cyberspace, usually means you are going to make more money. This doesn’t mean you should just start writing dozens and dozens of articles on subjects that are not going to get you adsense clicks, just to increase the amount of infobarrel articles you have in your account.

In April I am going to set myself a little challenge, If I set myself a goal I usually stick to it. The challenge is to write 100 infobarrel articles that will allow me to increase my infobarrel earnings by at least another 100%.

These are the rules of April’s Info barrel challenge.

1) Each article will be a minimum of 500 words

2) Each article will be product based, which from my experience product based articles seem to get you more adsense clicks because these people are buyers and not just info seekers. Plus it also gives you the chance to increase your infobarrel earnings even further with affiliate commissions from amazon and commission junction, using affiliate links.

3) Each article will have affiliate links within the body of the article.

4) Keyword research will be done using the fantastic Micro Niche Finder Keyword tool.

Basically that’s all there is to this month’s infobarrel challenge……

The first thing I will need to do, is gather my 100 article titles and place these keywords into a file. Once I have done this I will use the month of April to write a 500+ word article for each of the 100 keywords.

Once I have completed the 100 articles I will keep you updated on how much extra these 100 infobarrel articles have added to my monthly infobarrel income. I’m looking for at least 100% increase again for the month of April.

Each month I am going to set myself a little infobarrel challenge, by doing this I will keep writing more articles which will grow the amount of articles that are located within my account. Too many people start writing articles for Infobarrel and expect to start making lots of cash quickly from just a few dozen articles.

My main focus to making money with infobarrel is keep churning out more articles each month.  Just an handful of infobarrel writers are constantly adding content to the website and its these writers who I expect to be reaping the rewards months and years down the line. When this fantastic website gains more web authority and more page rank.

If you are an infobarrel writer, then why not join me on the 100 infobarrel article challenge for April and lets compare the results that we get from our 100 articles. By doing this we can all share what works and what doesn’t. I’m off now to search for my 100 money making keywords.
