Left Lane Ends

I love WordPress. It is a great blogging tool, fun to play around with, easy to implement, etc, etc. I’ll paruse the myriad of plugins from time to time and ran across this one:

This WordPress plugin allows your readers to donate money to you via PayPal. The plugin is widget enabled.

The plugin adds a “Buy Me a Beer” button to

1. The sidebar

2. At the bottom of all posts

When your readers click on that button, they are taken to the secure PayPal page from where they can donate money to you.

Why add a “Buy Me a Beer” button instead of a simple “Donate Money” button?

Past experience shows me that asking people to donate money by giving them a specific reason increases donations by 200%! (Read more in the “power of specific phrasing…“)

Tempting, I must admit… Some of you know that I could certainly use a cold frosty after work these days! So, keep your eyes peeled - I’ll never advertise on my blog, but you just may see a little link pop up at the bottom of my posts down the road.

Whether you’re out there where the left lane ends, or cruising down the highway… maybe you’ll at least get a little chuckle out of this one like I did.
