      Hi Eric. What you said about information overload is so true. With your words of encouragement I breathed a sigh of relief. Looking forward to your lessons.

      You can find out about opening a paypal account in Nigeria and how to do affiliating with clickbank, email me at fadyaffiliate@gmail.com.

      As a former text book salesman, editor, product manager for major book publishers, now retired, I am back in business! Your proposals are outstanding! I bought in all the way yesterday and look forward to sharing my clients with you as you proposed. I am primarily a writer and now am working with other authors. Thanks for this great opportunity and your lessons to help me where I’m only a beginner!

      Hi Eric,
      I am a newbie but have been in recurrent cycles of not knowing how to go about internet marketing or just be successful with making a living online. I choose to lay my hopes with you. I need a coach to assist me through this. I have been scammed, spent money on complex unrealistic systems to the point that I fear spending any more and opt for manual sources of earning a living (old school way). Can I put my hope in you?

      Well that’s a tough one Joshua. I understand what you’re saying, and I think my lessons can help you. But I would not recommend putting your hope in any person. People will always disappoint and let you down, so I recommend putting your hope in a higher power (for me that’s God). Then… you need to believe in yourself. Fear of failure will hold you back. Lastly you need to find some people you can trust. I explain this in lesson #11, and in that regard I think you can trust me to give you my best Internet marketing teaching. I hope this makes sense.

      Hello Eric, I’m sorry that I’m a little late in starting to go thro’ your lessons but I have saved your daily e-mails and I want to work thro’ the whole lot systematically and learn the biz thoroughly.
      You’re dead right, I have been overwhelmed by all the information and dross I’ve been getting so I decided to start from the beginning with your course and cut a straight line thro’ all the other crap. A lot of the stuff I’ve been looking at has been way over my head and I’ve become bogged down, not knowing what to do next.
      Having looked at some of your articles, eBooks, advice, etc., and your “Lesson 1”, I feel better already and I am determined to make a proper go of this after so many false starts.
      Thanks for your motivational help so far, Chris Hoyle.

      Hello, I am late in starting on the tips, but am interested on doing them. Had a lot of things going on and couldn’t get going on them. Your first tip suggest to make a folder for all your tips. Can you explain how to do that. I have aol.browerser. Thanks Rosemarie

      Actually offline media is not usually the best way to start. There are easier ways to get traffic, which are more easily tracked than offline media. I cover web traffic generation in depth later on in the lessons, including media buying.

      Hi Eric,
      I love what you are doing here. Maybe I can finally get up and running. I have quite a few of your products – going back to the templates – gathering dust on my shelves. Disconnected information, very well put. I will follow every lesson and put into practice what I learn.

      Eric,
      I look forward to getting all of your lessons. I have been making money online for over 20 years, but I have never seem to break from working paycheck to paycheck. There were a couple REALLY good years prior to 2001, but since then I have been struggling to really make it. Working hard here in San Diego and looking forward to your tips and advice.

      Wonderful introduction! Congratulations for your success! Yes, it is important to give back some of the earnings. Even though you made millions, you do not sound like a “guru” and I thank you for that. I like the way you explain what you are going to teach.

      How very gratifying to hear you speak so unabashedly about your faith in a “marketing video”.

      I think I will enjoy your series. I know I sure got a good laugh from you “ordinary guys” sales video! I’ll bet you get a lot of sales just because it’s so hilariously cheesy off the top!

      Anyway, God Bless you and your family.

      Hey Eric,
      WOW!!!! It is so nice to watch one of these videos that doesn’t have a bunch of click bank income, helicopters, sports cars, mansions and all that other crap. I saw a webinar the other day and that was the whole damn thing was about how much money this guy had and all the great things he owns. They also stressed the fact that they were not trying to sell anything but at the end of the video they were asking for $20,000. You do seem like a great person and I hope you’re the real deal because I am so sick of being scammed its ridiculous. I do have to admit, there are some great software products out there that I have purchased and now use but most of the stuff is crap.

I really do because I really believe in you 3. DON’T prove me wrong please.

      Loved the introduction! I definitely relate to the “puzzle” analogy. I’ve gotten puzzle pieces from many different boxes and they just don’t seem to fit together. Looking forward to going from A-Z with you. Blessings!!!
