Buy Me a Beer WordPress Plugin

But from the creator's perspective, this was genius. This plugin has generated a ton of buzz and I'm sure a ton of links for him.

This is a cool idea/plugin but it's not to hard to just add a paypal link to your template. I usually prefer to do that instead of adding more and more plugins to my sites.

I think it's time that I got my buzz on! I really think this is a give to receive type plug in. Let's see if anyone want to buy me some coffee's or beer!

I wonder if there is an e-gold version?

I changed the icon to a martini glass, I'm not a fan of beer.

Thanks for the post John.I installed the coffee version and I am waiting to see how it works.

Do you need a Business Paypal account for this to work?

Dont get drunk with all this beer.i gonna start "Buy me a Glass of Wine" since now i need a diet.:)

All this buzz for beer -- looks like the plug-in is giving you more than just free booze, John, great thinking!

cool,sounds interesting.

You and me both, Matt.

If nothing else i see this as great motivation for college students to start a blog. It would have gotten me started sooner.

thats interesting...it will be nice to know how this performs

He emailed me too about it. I may add one as a lot of my readers said they'd buy me a beer.

My donations page was similarly themed towards the amber nectar though ;)

John

I would like to buy you a BEER but i dun ave Paypal. In Malaysia, we dun get to CASH out from paypal.

Darn

As long as you don't buy an O'Doul's.

It's a good thing you switched from Smirnoff Ice.

Great plugin I have implemented it on my blog too. Lets see if i get any beer buyers.

Most excellent of an idea and will fit perfect with my community dude. I love when I can come get cools ideas and exploit them for my own beer drinking gains!

The buy me a beer thing is nothing new. There's a script for it too.

Speaking of beer, we haven't seen a food review in ages.

WOW - Thank you! This coffee mug goes so nicely with the coffee yahoo smiley I just got ~o) :lol:

Beer on me, my friend. Enjoy :grin:

Actually, I never gave much thought to accepting donations, but I tried it and guess what? I made triple the amount in donations than I did in Adsense this month!

So, it does work!

Hope you are thirsty sir, I just sent over a full pitcher! Enjoy! :mrgreen:

Yeah, John looks like a lightweight...

It's just a mildly modified "Donation" button that you can get directly from PayPal. You could have very easily created a custom version yourself.

Is there a girl version with a Long Island Iced Tea?

I want to see pictures of John actually drinking these beer though :) That would be a great addition to the restaurant reviews.

No, even a better idea... use the beer money to start hosting local pub nights for marketing brainstorming and business ideas.. this would be great and Id make the trek to vancouver for one!

this would also solidify readership in my opinion.

if people donate to john.. will they donate to someone like me?

Worth a shot huh? I could always use extra money to help pay bills etc.

Who couldn't use the help?

John, if every suscriber gives you a beer, when you will post agani?

What'd be REALLY sweet is if he actually made some videos of him drinking the beer that people donated. might be dangerous but entertaining.

I love that idea...I have a regular donate button but this would be soo much cooler. Too bad it's for wordpress and not blogger.. :cry:

Actually it's nothing else than a donation link and I'm quite sure that I've already seen it somewhere :???:

I gotcha John...enough for the both of us

haha, should be.. "Can I buy you a beer, send me your paypal email here"

I agree with Amanda. Buy us some beer!

John I think you made enough money last month to buy us beers instead!
