June 2008 recap

Rather than refer to these end of month recaps as ‘month year earnings’, i’ll start to call then ‘month year recaps’ from now on as that’s really the way i’m heading at the minute – focus on content rather than cash. So here’s the ‘June 2008 recap’.

BeerChief. Plain and simple. It’s all been about BeerChief. Today, we’ve just launched BeerChief and it’s the culmination of a lot of money, time and hard work. So far, so good… we’ve got some great detailed feedback and i’ve already made dozens of small changes based on that.

The initial reaction thus far has been positive. Keep in mind most of the current users are friends / online pals etc… so they’re not likely to bash the site like complete strangers would. But these are people we trust to give a fair opinion of the site and that’s what we’ve gotten so far.

Anyway, it’s a bit early to be talking about how BeerChief’s doing as it’s only been up and running ~6 hours.

In June, i also headed to London for a few days. I got word i’d failed my maths exam in College and of course i introduced a new theme to this blog. I also hit the 1000 post mark on this blog and just to cap it all off hit the 250,000 word mark in the same post :-)

On this blog, i said i’d planned to up the quality a bit. I think i’ve done that. I’ve tried to add more pictures to my posts and keep them interesting. I’ve been de-railed slightly by BeerChief but that’s to be expected really.

I also said i’d reward my top commenters at the end of every month from now on with a special mention. So here you are guys (top 5);

Keep up the good commenting :mrgreen:

So June was a pretty eventful month, i did make about $85 in some recent sales but as i’ve said above, it’s not about the money really any more – it’s about quality.
