Thanks For The Kegs of Beer!

written by John Chow on July 5, 2007

Get Traffic To Your Site!

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. :twisted:

So it seems you are writing drunk?

I just love beer :)

i 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

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.

Isnt this danger? I think that you could sue us for supporting you in alcoholism. I would be worried.
Maybe there was already some case like that.

Yeah, The rich get richer.
All the poors can be is to be jealous of the richer.:)

If you ever come over to Europe, I'll invite you to a couple of Viennese kegs!

John, 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.

Why not buy a beer. Just because you're making a lot doesn't mean we aren't learning anything.

Sheesh, next month you should get a "buy me a new liver" plugin :D

20% of the income goes to the "new liver for john foundation" :grin:

wow...not bad, it could add up to your blog income

If I send you 100 dollars will you link me? :lol:

I think it costs $200 for his TLA links :)

Try to send him 100 kegs via e-mail.

I bought you a beer, too, John. Unfortunately, someone chugged it all down before it could get to you. *burp*

Exactly once you are ritch you would have to be idiot not to get ritcher.

John 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.

oh wow! you get really lots of beer from the individuals!

Hey John, I'll be back in BC at the end of July--just in time for you to put on my welcome home BBQ!! :)

man ... you better share some brew!

Darin

Ya, then we all can enjoy it.

How about you buy all of us a beer john?

365 Days... One Goal... Can I Do It?

Your site's down...and that's too bad, because I wanted to know what the goal was :)

It's up now. Vague, ambiguous goal. Been done time and time again too...

Wooow! Lots of beer!
Gimme some :P

I'd like to see John actually finish the keg of beer! :evil:

I wouldn't, I like John. That would give him alcohol poisoning.

这么多的人用英语回复我就来用中文来回复,哈哈~~
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 :mrgreen:

What is this? Can you translate?

Congrats! Agree with the rich get richer. The big blog get bigger and richer.

If got party at john house....can i attend cuz not some country hihi

John,
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.

oh man a dot com beer and bbq party would be awesome :D 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!

We 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. :neutral:

And the drunk get drunker! *=)

John, you're more than welcome for the beer.

Maybe John will have a online keg party. :shock:

How would that work though...buy your own beer and toast the screen? Hmmm :???:

Do you actually buy beer with the beer money? I'd like to see pictures of that party!

Good point! no picture no truth :twisted:

Well we did see a picture of John with a beer in Taipei I think. One beer...

Wow great to hear that you are getting lots of money for beer!

Wow, 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.

Indeed, he is in a position most men want to be in. :razz:

Yeah, people are giving him money :)
