Thanks For The Kegs of Beer!
While I am always thankful when a reader likes my posts enough to buy me a beer, it seems that a few readers like this blog so much that sending me a pitcher isn’t enough. They are sending me entire kegs of beer! I like to recognize these keg donors.
Johns Wu - $88.88
Johns Wu is the current big beer giver. He sent me $88.88 so I can buy a round for the family. Johns is the webmaster at Bankaholic and I assume he sent me the big kegger because of the post I did about the Gold Amex card.
Danielle Nagami - $50.00
Most of you will know her as Ms. Danielle. Danielle sent me the $50.00 keg of beer as a thank you for running the Microsoft Zune contest, which she won. Ms. Danielle is now giving away the Zune in her own contest.
Melissa Surles - $50.00
I think it’s really cool that it’s mostly females who are buying me the big beers. Melissa is the owner of Private Link Sales, a marketplace where website owners can buy or sell text links in a simple, easy and direct process. Unlike Text Link Ads, PrivateLinkSales.com doesn’t any commission on sales. Instead, they charges a flat fee of $2 to list a link for sale.
Now through August 1, you can submit a link for free. It maybe worth trying out.
Thanks For The Beer!
I think I will set up a Dot Com Beer and BBQ party this summer. Thanks to everyone who has sent me a beer. It really is much appreciated. One reader commented that’s it really funny for people to be buying beers for a blog that is making over $12,000 a month. You know what they say. The rich get richer.

Lucky you John. I wish I had generous donations in my blog.
Reply to this commentNonetheless, you have deserved it.
Good content = more beer.
it’s really good idea
maybe i should start doing that on my blog just to pay for the blog hosting
Reply to this commentI’ve had it up on my personal blog for a while, but have yet to enjoy a brew thanks to it
Reply to this commentI think you would get some people to donate, just follow John’s rules, have GREAT content, and increase your traffic. I’m kinda in the same boat, but I’m doing something about it!!
Reply to this commentMy beer fund is still a virgin too
Reply to this commentNo one buy me a coffee neither
Reply to this commentYea, I am thinking of trying it out soon too
Reply to this commentSo sad no one buy me a beer………..
Reply to this commentYou have to give them a reason to
Reply to this commentTry using a “Buy me a car” link. Then you only need one reader!
Reply to this commentAnd the poor bloggers get no link love…
Reply to this commentThat’s not true. Just become the Top Commentators you don’t need to be rich you can get Johnchow’s link love
Reply to this commentYep, there’s lots of love coming from that list
Reply to this commenti’m poor but i still get link love by being a top commentator
Reply to this commentNo kidding! 103 posts? At least you’ve got some interesting comments to read. I’m tired of reading things like “look, I’m the first post”
Reply to this commentYour not talking about my posts are you!!
Look I’m the 83rd post
Reply to this commentyou like live on this site
Reply to this commentJohn you must be feeling a little wobbly after all that beer, but being a canadian your probably used to it.
Reply to this commentEven Canadians aren’t used to plowing through a whole keg on their own
Reply to this commentI don’t know. Real Estate Editorial may be up to the task! What do you think REE, can we see some pictures?
Reply to this commentWell I’m right in the middle of the Calgary Stampede, so yes maybe at the end of the week I’ll post some pictures on my blog, I’ll bet you i’ll drink a keg’s worth this week. One day might be tough!!
Reply to this commentI think I will ask my future readers for burgers. Then you take care of the beer, and I will take care of the burgers
That should be some party!
Reply to this commentThat sounds awesome except I’ve never been anywhere and had an acquaintance offer me a burger…
Buying someone a beer is a very easy relation to make in terms of real world networking. Buying a burger on the other hand…
Reply to this commentsimply amazing
Reply to this commentGreat job!!! Looks like a well layed plan. Now pass the beer
Reply to this commentWhat’s interesting about the $88.88 is that Mr. Wu is making more than that for just signing up one person on that AMEX card
The Credit Card signup commissions are VERY lucrative.
Reply to this commentAnd you guys know that the number 8 is considered very lucky in Chinese culture.
Reply to this commentI did not know that. I learn something new every day here
Reply to this commentAnd 88 is considered double lucky. I’ve seen people give $88 as wedding gifts… I never thought about giving $88.88
Perhaps they were too cheap to give a “C note” for a wedding gift!
Erveryone loves “Brownies”!
Reply to this commentCan anyone send me $8888.88? I’ll even accept as low as $888.88. I just want you all to feel lucky!
Reply to this commentIsn’t 7 a lucky number, too? July 7th this year is supposed to be the luckiest day ever…so I heard.
Reply to this commentYes, in certain cultures, 7 is lucky, and this year July 7, 2007 is a very popular wedding day being 7-7-7 !
Reply to this commentYes there was most wedding this day bacause of that. I am wondering how many of them will stay undivorsed.
Reply to this commentlove how this comes from a instantcredit guy . . hahaha
Reply to this commentIt’s because I know what the payouts are
Reply to this commentohh… i was wondering why he did that too
now i know
interesting
Reply to this commentWow, a ladies man. Haha, the ladies are the ones buying beer for you. Mr. Evil has figured out a way to turn the world upside down.
Reply to this commentIndeed, he is in a position most men want to be in.
Reply to this commentYeah, people are giving him money
Reply to this commentWow great to hear that you are getting lots of money for beer!
Reply to this commentDo you actually buy beer with the beer money? I’d like to see pictures of that party!
Reply to this commentGood point! no picture no truth
Reply to this commentWell we did see a picture of John with a beer in Taipei I think. One beer…
Reply to this commentso when is the keg party?
Reply to this commentMaybe John will have a online keg party.
Reply to this commentHow would that work though…buy your own beer and toast the screen? Hmmm
Reply to this commentJohn, you’re more than welcome for the beer.

Reply to this commentAnd the drunk get drunker! *=)
Reply to this commentoh man a dot com beer and bbq party would be awesome
thanks again John for holding the original contest, and also for entering mine. with the amount of exposure it’s brought to my little blog it’s definitely worth buying you a round of beer!
Reply to this commentWe could all throw an interactive global party like Live Earth except we call it Live Beer or something. Not everyone is so lucky to live close by to The Man.
Reply to this commentJohn,
Thank you for the plug! I’ve been reading your blog daily ever since I discovered it. In fact, when I just loaded up your site right now to check for updates, I was shocked to see my name up there!
And wow, you make $12k/mo? Congratulations! Enjoy the beers, take care.
Reply to this commentPARTY AT JOHN’S HOUSE!
Reply to this commentIf got party at john house….can i attend cuz not some country hihi
Reply to this commentParty!
Reply to this commentCongrats! Agree with the rich get richer. The big blog get bigger and richer.
Reply to this comment这么多的人用英语回复我就来用中文来回复，哈哈~~
Reply to this comment有的时候不得不佩服John Chow的幽默，呵呵，不晓得为什么你那么喜欢喝啤酒，难道一年四季如此？
因為老外就是喝beer長大的
Reply to this commentWhat is this? Can you translate?
Reply to this commentI’d like to see John actually finish the keg of beer!
Reply to this commentI wouldn’t, I like John. That would give him alcohol poisoning.
Reply to this commentWooow! Lots of beer!
Reply to this commentGimme some
How about you buy all of us a beer john?
365 Days… One Goal… Can I Do It?
Reply to this commenthttp://onemansgoal.com
Your site’s down…and that’s too bad, because I wanted to know what the goal was
Reply to this commentIt’s up now. Vague, ambiguous goal. Been done time and time again too…
Reply to this commentman … you better share some brew!
Darin
Reply to this commentYa, then we all can enjoy it.
Reply to this commentHey John, I’ll be back in BC at the end of July–just in time for you to put on my welcome home BBQ!!
Reply to this commentoh wow! you get really lots of beer from the individuals!
Reply to this commentJohn you’re wrong- it’s not the rich get richer. It’s the rich get richer by being cheap… You can buy me that glass of wine now.
Reply to this commentExactly once you are ritch you would have to be idiot not to get ritcher.
Reply to this commentI bought you a beer, too, John. Unfortunately, someone chugged it all down before it could get to you. *burp*
Reply to this commentIf I send you 100 dollars will you link me?
Reply to this commentI think it costs $200 for his TLA links
Reply to this commentTry to send him 100 kegs via e-mail.
Reply to this commentwow…not bad, it could add up to your blog income
Reply to this commentSheesh, next month you should get a “buy me a new liver” plugin
Reply to this comment20% of the income goes to the “new liver for john foundation”
Reply to this commentWhy not buy a beer. Just because you’re making a lot doesn’t mean we aren’t learning anything.
Reply to this commentJohn, this is a great post because it really shows how no matter how big you get, you still remember the people who put you there. Some of those qualities simply cannot be taught, and like they say, the cream rises to the top.
Reply to this commentIf you ever come over to Europe, I’ll invite you to a couple of Viennese kegs!
Reply to this commentYeah, The rich get richer.
Reply to this commentAll the poors can be is to be jealous of the richer.:)
Isnt this danger? I think that you could sue us for supporting you in alcoholism. I would be worried.
Reply to this commentMaybe there was already some case like that.
Buying John beer is pretty harmless. I’m sure he doesn’t spend it all on beer anyway, so there’s no harm in contributing to the JC beer movement.
Reply to this commenti wasn’t sure if the “buy me a beer” thing would work out too well (since you already make a decent income), but it seems despite the fact you can successfully earn money on your blog, people are willing to give you some. lol
very nice
Reply to this commentSo it seems you are writing drunk?
I just love beer
