When you start to see hard work pay off

I might have mentioned once or 10 times that the hubby and I have a business or two.  The main reason for us to think outside of the box is that we want to make sure that Maddy is well cared for once we are gone.  We need to know that she will have the money that she needs to be safe and loved her entire life.

The hubby works a full time job that pays the bills and gives me the ability to stay at home full time.  We are thankful every day for this, but it is not enough for the future.  The screen writing business is going well, but is most days an exercise in frustration for him.   When the idea came about to try to wrangle all the beer data on the web to create a cheap beer website we sat down, thought it through and moved forward.

Partners were secured, and the work began.  Thousands of dollars and hours were spend to figure out how it could work, how could it be user friendly and how it could be marketed.  Once we did solve the data puzzle then we had to set about gathering the information and decided how it could be entered into a website formula.  Then the beers had to be added and let me tell you there is a heck of a lot of beer out there.

Daily we work on the site, improve it, market it, work on advertisers and potential partners.  This morning we were mentioned in Technorati.  It is nice to see we are picking up a little buzz on the internet.


If you ever hear anyone say, wow those Save on Brew people are so lucky, what a great idea, I should have thought of that.  Smile and know that like most "overnight" successes we worked our butts off for a few years!
