Thanks For The Kegs of Beer!

written by John Chow on July 5th, 2007

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:

  1. Lucky you John. I wish I had generous donations in my blog. :P
    Nonetheless, you have deserved it.
    Good content = more beer.

  2. And the poor bloggers get no link love…

  3. John you must be feeling a little wobbly after all that beer, but being a canadian your probably used to it.

  4. I 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!

    • That 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…

  5. Great job!!! Looks like a well layed plan. Now pass the beer :twisted:

  6. What’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.

  7. 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.

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

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

  10. Art

    so when is the keg party?

  11. John, you’re more than welcome for the beer.

  12. Share with us John :)

  13. And the drunk get drunker! *=)

  14. 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!

  15. JW

    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.

    PARTY AT JOHN’S HOUSE!

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

  18. 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?

  19. I’d like to see John actually finish the keg of beer! :evil:

  20. Wooow! Lots of beer!
    Gimme some :P

  21. How about you buy all of us a beer john?

  22. man … you better share some brew!

  23. 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!! :)

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

  25. 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.

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

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

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

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

  30. Sheesh, next month you should get a “buy me a new liver” plugin :D

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

  32. 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.

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

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

  35. 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.

  36. 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.

  37. 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

  38. So it seems you are writing drunk?

    I just love beer :)
