“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
- Benjamin Franklin

That quote might a bit of a stretch, but there’s no doubt that beer is indeed popular. Now, while beer has nothing to do with the Internet and Internet Marketing, it is something that I do enjoy from time to time. And after a rather LONG hiatus, I began to once again brew my own beer.  The Brewing Kit that I use for my homebrews is called Mr.Beer® Ultimate Brewing Package and I thought I would tell you about it, just in case, there are other home-brew enthusiasts out there that don’t know about this cool like brew system.

So why would I brew my own when it’s just as easy to head to my favorite store and pick up a 6-pack?

Because it’s fun, it can taste better than store bought, and it’s potentially cheaper than the six pack from my favorite.

I also look at it the same way as I do building my own PCs: I could buy a PC from any number of PC makers, but I’d rather build my own PC exactly the way I want it. It certainly takes more work walking into Best Buy and saying “I want that one”! But I know exactly what I’m getting and I don’t have to subject myself to BloatWare or CrapWare.

Well, I feel the very same way about brewing my own beer!

I actually have to thank my Father-In-Law for introducing me to this fine hobby.  As, before he told me about Mr.Beer®, I thought it was difficult, complex and something best left to the pros. Mainly because, with most homebrew setups, you have to produce 5 gallons at a time. Which is great if you like a LOT of the same beer.  But you’ve got to have some place to do all this, not to mention where the heck are you going to store 5 gallons worth of bottled beer. Besides, who wants to drink the same beer day in and day out? Which is exactly what you’d be doing with 5 gallons of beer laying about!

But, now I have my Mr.Beer® kit, and I’m a Home Brewmiester-Extraordinaire.

This little brew kit makes darn good beer and I love tinkering and coming up with new recipes.  I particularly love making fruit-based brews, like Blasted Apricot Weizen and Raspberry Ale…(two of which are currently fermenting in the closet).

So, if you are the least bit interesting in Home Brewing, I wholeheartedly recommend you check out this kit (and buy you a couple of kegs to get started).

Below, you see the kit that I got, and its a PRETTY GOOD deal.

In an attempt to make money on the Internet, I have probably committed one or all of these common but fatal mistakes:

• Thinking that product creation is easy and it can be done overnight.
• Thinking I could churn out countless products at a profitable rate.
• Believing that what I know is enough to guarantee my success.
• Choosing more affordable services for my business at the expense of quality.
• Being confident that an effective marketing strategy doesn’t have to cost a dime.

The truth of the matter, I have learned, is that Internet marketing requires a TON of skills, lots of dedication, and sadly, substantial monetary investment, whether you want to accept that fact or not.

But, this is how the online moneymaking game is played.

Thankfully, I have recently discovered something that has changed everything for me and my business, and I want to cordially invite you to join me.

You see, I have recently met and decided to join up with John Delavera, the inventor of the highly acclaimed and widely received TURBO line of products which include Fantasos, the JVManager, the Buy Me A Beer and Buy Me A Product programs, the Turbo HQ, several blockbuster eBooks, and the wildly successful “The Barking Videos”.

John is doing something absolutely unprecedented.  He is offering us something that has never been offered in the history of online commerce.

* * * EVERYTHING * * *

He is offering us EVERYTHING that we’ll ever need to run a successful business on the World Wide Web, including access to his incredible line of TURBO products, a persistent factory of information products that would create exclusive goods just for us, a web hosting service including website design and support, an excellent autoresponder system for follow-ups, and many, many, many more.

But most important of all, John is offering himself to be our mentor and our friend, by committing himself to support us every step of the way.

With all honesty, this is an opportunity that could define our and my success and it will eventually change my life.

We have all heard countless others promise the same thing before, but not with this amount of veracity.
