My advice would be to be patient and take it one step at a time… Based on the method you seem to be following, the next step would be to get some PPC traffic.
But I would recommend following my lessons to build your business, as I think its best to have your own product in addition to affiliate marketing.
I am not familiar with that one, so you might want to ask Dave about it.
We recommend thinkorswim as an options platform. I also use Scottrade Elite for stock trading, but its not the best options platform.
Usually it is one per day, but sometimes there is a longer lapse because I’m still making the lessons. Thanks

Hello Eric,
I came here because I wanted to respond to the email you sent me. I’ve put a lot of feelers out and have collected a ton of information, but that’s not my problem.
The problem is that everyone I’ve contacted has their own agenda, and I’m getting hammered. I’m currently building a website, and I have some very specific ideas about what I want to accomplish with it. I’m a person that learns very quickly, but even so I need time to digest all of the information I’ve collected.
With that said, I’m very interested in hearing more about what I saw in my initial introduction, and learning about how I can incorporate these methodologies into my business plan, which is why I’m here!
Time is a serious issue for me. Between trying to work on the site, and picking up all of the training from all of the affiliates I’m going to be promoting, and keeping up with all the email I’m getting, etc. I’m sure you get the picture!
I’m going to take a liberty here, and elaborate a little further on what Gary said.
Being that you’re a pensioner Leslie, I’m sure that you have a very limited amount of disposable income, like me. So Pay-Per-Click might not be your best option now. I’m using a concept called “bum marketing”, which is simply using all of the free marketing tools that are available. Free advertising, and social networking, posting blogs, and article submission, directory submission.
Social networking sites like twitter, facebook, myspace, squiddo (which google really seems to like), and Sales Spider are good places to start. There are plenty of how to articles available that will teach you how to use these resources effectively.
If you can build a small income stream from free classified sites, you may be able to take some of that income and use it to reinvest in your busines to pay for some Pay-Per-Click ads.
Outbound and inbound linking to your site will also help with your search engine rankings, and I don’t think a lot of marketers take enough time to do serious analysis, and selection for keywords for their sites. And then of course there are Eric’s lessons which if properly applied, may produce some dramatic results.
Hello Kay,
I must say, you are a member of a dying breed, which is a sad social commentary. Like you I also value the written word, and have used it to educate myself far beyond anything I ever got out of the public educational system. BUT…what this is about, is marketing strategies, and we all have to use the best marketing tool at out disposal…VIDEO!
YES! That’s one of my pet peeves. is that these so called ‘marketing gurus’ have an agenda that is relentless, with their endless barrage of auto-responder emails. They don’t bother to take the time to listen to the people they’re trying to recruit, and that’s a big mistake on their part.
Hello David,
From my own observance, I’m seeing the global emergence of a social networking phenomenon the likes of which the world has never seen before.
There is more benefit when people work together to help each other, than there is when they compete. The elite truly see us as nothing more than ‘exploitable resources’, with only the people at the top benefitting at the expense of those at the bottom.
This is a predatory system that has worn itself out, and it’s time to abandon that system in favor of one that benefits all, through a spirit of cooperation. You cannot change the world except through changing yourself.
Too many people look for a leader, when they should take the initiative, and become a leader. I come not looking for a leader, but partners.
Yes Ray, bothe Outlook Express amd Oulook have to be configured to receive and send email in connection with yahoo and gmail. Although both provide tutorials to configure, here’s a little trick, if you don’t want to bother with that.
Simply click on the email, when your Outlook, or Outlook Express launches, the email address will appear in the send to box. Simply copy/paste the email address, and enter it into your favorite email client, and then close the program.
Hello Betty, I don’t know for sure if this will work, but you can download a copy of Real Player version 11.0 or later. This version has a built-in video downloader. Make sure you do a custom download to be sure you get the download manager. After you’ve installed it, the way it works is you mouse over the video screen of the video you want to download, and a little pop-up window will appear. Just click on that little pop-up window to start your download.
This will work on embedded videos as well,as long as they’re not protected by DRM technology. (For instance some google videos don’t show a download button, which means they’re embedded)
One last thing. Real Player has a tendency to insinuate itself on your system in ways that you may not like. To prevent this you can download a FREE version of WinPatrol. It’s a handy little security utility program that keeps unauthorized things from running on your machine.
Eric, thanks for that little tid-bit, I might not be able to get to your stuff right away, and I wouldn’t want to lose out
I have a rule of thumb that I apply in cases where someone is recruiting me to do affiliate marketing for them.
They have to be willing to supply a website, tools, training, and support FREE of charge. After all I’m providing my time and labor, and I’m not getting paid for that unless I succeed
They should be satisfied with the money they’ll make from your time and effort, on the products and services you sell.
There are some exceptions to that, but they are far and few between.
With that, I’m going to leave before I wear out my welcome
Hi Eric, I believe you are an answer to prayer for me. I donated $159 to Daystar to start a home based internet business with Jim Paris called Christian Internet Money. Well I have learned some but they give you bits and pieces of what you can do and now I am in overload.
I set up with adsense, clickbank, and affiliate with amazon. I have done some lenses on Squidoo and am trying to create my own website with website tonight. I also set up with Bill Crosby’s traffic machine, $49 and top3 online products which has cost be almost $150 but have not made one penny with any of them. I have done this now for 3 months.
I am 67 years old and was laid off from Wachovia bank, had a few heart attacks and am unable to work outside my home. I only need to make about $1000 per month but so far nothing. Where should I start. I have listened to 4 of your tips and am not sure which direction to go. Do I need to set up with the traffic machine sites? By the way, I graduated from Loveland High School many years ago and now live in Littleton, Colorado. Please help!
God Bless You!!
What about that Inventor’s site you show in the video?
I searched that and while I DID find the landing page (like in the video) when I clicked on the link it just led back to the blog.
I was hoping to learn more about setting up such a site. Not to steal your thunder but HOW could a site like that earn you ANY money?
Thanks; Larry
Hello Eric,
One comment you made in this first lesson, was that some people are hit with “information overload” well, that’s me. I seem to spend hours in front of the screen reading and downloading everything, and not being able to get started. I am a complete “learner driver” with all this online selling. Looking forward to the next 119 lessons, looks like good stuff.
Thank you,
Ken, in Melbourne, Australia
I am working with this co and am being left behind. I have time to learn but need to get this going quickly. Should I buy your $97 dollar deal and get going? I mean do u think that someone like me, little marketing knowledge w/info overload confusion, be able to use your material? thx u
Hey Eric,
It’s refreshing to hear a level headed voice talking about getting started. I’m looking forward to your lessons because I fit that category of ‘info overloaded’ exactly.
I want to start an online ethical business on the side of my other businesess to create another income stream – I hope you can help clear the path for me.
cheers

I was told by a few computer pros that it is safer in the long run to delete unwanted emails rather than unsubscribe. When you unsubscribe you are confirming that your email is live and reachable. I delete some and send others to my spam folder (Yahoo). Yahoo learns who you consider spam and quits loading them to the Inbox. I skim my spam box almost every day just to look for things sent there by mistake and delete them and my trash box.
I am here through Home Cash. I hope to learn a lot!
Most computers have a place to plug in a headset which might even cost less than speakers. A headset takes up less room on the desk as well.
Ace, your link does not work. I clicked on your name as well and got a Google search list.
Eric,
I was very impressed with both Lesson #1 (even though there was nothing really new in it for me) and your personna. I like your PrayWay. If there was every anyone who needs a miracle, it’s me. My husband is emotionally handicapped and has not been able to find a job in over 11 years! Social Security turned him down (they turn everyone down the first time — so I’ve heard) saying that he may have been handicapped when he was younger but they do not see it now. The “tests” they did were laughable!!!
I have been trying to launch my e-commerce business since August 2007 and I’ve spent more than I’ve brought in. I want to build my own websites (I like diversification) but I have to start making REAL money. The wolf of foreclosure is at my back door. We have one month’s mortgage on hold at the bank and practically all of the second one. That will stop foreclosure for a bit. I need to get out from under DEBT and STRIFE!! This house means a whole lot to me. I inherited it from my parents (I’m an only child). The mortgage was made to remodel the house to correct the things my mother had always complained about and make this our Dream House. It is also what got me motivated to finish my education and pursue Interior Design; however, I have learned that it’s not really what I want to do.
My first two goals are to pay off my $450K mortgage (the house was worth $620K) and my $40K in school loans. I am on track to graduate in December with a B.S. in Interior Design WITH HONORS. I am almost 60! I love e-commerce and want to be a great success at it. My husband is a Doubting Thomas and yells at me about how much money I have spent trying to get off the ground!
You said in an earlier post that if you were starting over with all you know now that you could be making good money in about a week. Is that really possible?????? If it is I will be sure to do EVERYTHING you say!!!!
Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do. You are a real role model. Your family is BEAUTIFUL!! God Bless You.
Yes if I was starting from scratch (only with my knowledge) I could be making money within a week. But that’s probably not a realistic timeframe for a newbie. But I can definitely cut down your learning curve.
I suggest watching at least my first 4 lessons for free first. They will help you decide if this is something you want to pursue. And if yes… then the $97 deal is certainly something you may consider investing in.
The lessons are still in progress. I haven’t done anything with the site yet. Don’t worry, before lesson #100 you’ll see how it can make money 😉
I am an LHS grad too!
My best advice is to keep following these lessons and taking it one step at a time. Hopefully it will help fill in the gaps and help you assimilate your knowledge from the other course you bought.
you don’t need the traffic machines until your website is set up AND ready to make money.
I am unable to hear the sound. Please advise

Hi Eric,

Hi! Eric I know I’ve got “paralysis by analysis”. I’ve downloaded free e-books and purchased many more. Finding your online is lessons more than I imagined. Thank you for the help. I’ll sure stick with you all the way.
Hello everyone,
I am knew to the online business and I just created my site, my question is after I purchased my traffic, I am not able to see my site when I type in the url. It says the link appears to be broken. If anyone can help me see where I went wrong, it will greatly be appreciated.
Thank you
I just looked up your domain, and it appears to not even be registered. I recommend following my lessons step by step. You’ll get to the domain and hosting stuff around lesson #23, and the website building lessons shortly thereafter.
Hi Louise, I read your blog and was touched by your situation. I am 67 and am trying to get started making money too. Just a note to let you know regarding your house that you can go to http://www.NACA.com and they can stop foreclosure and it will cost you nothing. Also go to my website at http://www.loans-modifications-refi-purchase.com there is more info there. Don’t let this happen to you. Good luck in your venture. Eric is great! God Bless!!
So appreciate your dedication to this. I look
forward to recovering from analysis paralysis!
Thanks again and God bless you and your family!

Eric, You sound wonderful!! I’m from little old New Zealand and have been trying for some time to start an online business to make some much needed money after being made redundant. In fact I don’t even know where my next rent is coming from! Even your videos work fine – I’m only on dial up and many videos that arrive in answer to my requests for info are so slow you have 5 words, then a gap, then another 5 words etc. Really looking forward to your help, God Bless, Dot
Hi Eric.
I’m a south african airways flight attendant and I own a creative design company called edmatha design & brand, I’m so glad to have bumped into your name as I’ve been looking for this kind of info ever since i started the business.
can’t wait to meet you in person.God bless.
Thabo.
Thanks Eric, I just listened to lession 1 and will do all your lessions. This is exactly what I am looking for. I am a new to this but I am totally committed to sucseed. There is too much hype in this business. I want to learn this business and be a success so that I can enable my bigger dreams to come thru. I too want the freedom to have the lifestyle that I deserve and spending it with those special people. You are right, it si not about the toys; its about people and lifestyle.
Hi Eric,
I just discovered you on the net and your comment about “disconnect knowledge” really resonated with me.
I thought you should know that the email whitelist link goes to a 404 page.
Thank you for putting this course together. I look forward to gleaming new knowledge and connecting the puzzle pieces!!
Carol
OMG!!
I should have spell checked my posting!

Very confused.. Seems every where I turn I see the same form letter with yet another person’s name attached. Feeling that I have been scammed. I click on items to “get starte” and I go no where. I have now wasted hours chasing my tail. So here I am. Are you a scam too? Hmmm I wonder.
