Hi Eric,
You’re just absolutly right. I hate to admit that but i do experienced that synthom- overload by multitechnic from those gurus ( i cant blaim them anyway ).
And i thank i have to agree with sabrina that you are just very passionate and sincere in delivering your experience to others especially little person like me. Actually am about to surrender but your great tips saved me. Thanks a lot. Am waiting for the next lesson.
Hey Eric,
Thanks for the start up. Looks like you have things well planned, and it will be great to watch how this goes for you, and your subscribers.
Though I have been building an online business for a bit, I know these tips will help me fine tune what needs to be done!
Keep up the great work!
Paul
Thank you Eric…this will be so very helpful to clarify all the information that has been an overload for me as it has for many others. God Bless You.

Eric, you put in to words exactly how I’ve been feeling about the marketing info I get in my in-box everyday. The info I have is a bunch of disconnected knowledge. I do feel overwhelmed and not sure what direction to move. So, thank you for perceiving this need and providing a solution.
Hi Eric – Are all the lessons going to be videos? I’m the oddball that prefers the written word and uses the videos only for backup (sound and I don’t get along too well). Will the written points convey the main ideas?
Thanks.
Hi Eric,I was really happy when I heard you speak. You are the type of person I think people can trust,because I have been led astray many time in the internet business.You sound like a real Christian that will help we need your help.Thanks Eric.
Hi Erik
This is great. I hope i can follow you lesson till finish.
And thank you very much.
And God Bless You!!
Herison.
Thank you Eric. I am at a point in my life where I must make internet marketing work for me. I am unemployed and frankly do not want to go back to the rat race. Owning my own business is a dream that I am quickly making into a reality. With your help it will be that much more profitable. Waiting for the next email soon…. Kathleen
Hi Eric!
Good first impression. And an important question right off the mark: Are you planning to make an MP3 or a transcript version of your lessons available?
I’d already kept previous emails from you, and I’m planning to retain those that follow as well, but I’d also like to be able to retain the lessons themselves. Personally I’m partial to ‘text’ materiel, but I’ve also got a pretty solid selection of stuff on MP3 to listen to while walking or snow shovelling (!).
Until next lesson!
Noel
Hi Eric,
Your email summed me up pretty well. I am very overwhelmed by all the guru’s and I do not know where to start.
I appreciate your help and time in teaching us how to get our sites going.
Best Regards
Kathy
Eric,
Does saving the email download the video also?
Will the information be archived in case emails are missed, lost, etc?
Thanks,
Kevin
Good, comfortable pace. Well done, Eric!
Eric,
Great Intro lesson. Thanks for sharing a little about who you are and about you’re family. I have been getting your newsletter for some time now and I don’t know how I got this intro letter, but it was just what I needed at this point in my online experience. I am overloaded and in need of a mentor. Thanks for willing to share so much.
This year has seen a lot of the gurus put out a training programme. Although a lot of the basics are the same it is the little individual parts throughout a course of personal knowledge and experience which are included that makes the difference. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Friend !
🙂
Hi,
I am not having speakers to my computer. So I am unable to get your lessons. Pl also provide text material. Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Noe i have found what i’m looking for. I have a bunch of e-book,salespages and software on my desktop that i can start a busines with, but the problem is i dov’t kwow where to start.
I’m sure that when i finished this 100 lessonns i have a business up and running.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Eric,
I just watched your fist video and it was nice to hear that you’re from Fort Collins. I was in Breck for a couple of months last winter (snowboarder) and loved it…and in April I moved to Denver! Though I hear the summers get seriously hot out here, I love the mountains and I’m looking forward to all the area has to offer.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I have the highest respect for any internet marketer who is tired of contributing to the hype machine, reduces their promotions and in-your-face pitches and who doesn’t charge $1,000+ to teach even the basics of starting an online business.
Thanks for contributing to the “greater good”
Hi Erics
Thank you for your a lessonn1.A very good introduction. Your predictions are really smart and marked that was your experienced.
When we are too overhelmed with so lots of intructions, we at last do not know what to do.
Totally confused. Let take for example before that. The idea of Adwords and the Adsense. Both are Google. One is -ve Clicks and the other is +ve Click.
If we follow the right track the -ve will turn to +ve and the +ve will might change to -ve.
That is the real world of the Internet Marketing. So very thankful to Erics for his sincere invitation for us to share his experiences and ideas. And hope we get something from here, so that we could acquire a little bit confidence to tour the land of never endings. Be happy always with your beloved family & may God bless you. Thank you.
Eric, I want to sincerely thank you for your gesture of goodwill. Not many people would do what you are and will be doing. I am inspired by your success story and, particularly, by your belief in your lifestyle.
One question – How do you cater for those people in countries who do not have fast internet access, people who still have slow internet access? What I am saying is that with your use of camtasia, would that make viewing your lesson on a slow internet access a problem?
It is so refreshing to see someone produce videos with a heart to really help others. There is nothing wrong with people offering videos with the expectation of buying their product. But for you to be committed to mentoring so many on your list with 100 lessons without pitching a product after each one says a lot about your giving spirit. The essence of a Christian who is walking close to the Lord is to be a giver and a servant of all. Thank you for being a mentor and being an example to all of us to take what we learn and pass it on to others that we can help.
Daniel Rydstedt
Thanks, Eric
Appreciate you sharing your expertise and helping the rest of us.
The Lord bless you.. lots!
@Kulkarni, you can get a headset to plug into your computer to listen to the audio; cheap ones are about $15.
Eric,
Thanks for doing this. I have the adesense templates and have had a few frustrations getting them online properly. This course is like a dream come true. I have a few websites and as I have explored internet marketing I have had the exact experience you describe.
Thank you!!!
By the way, Kulkarni, you can pick up speakers for a very reasonable price. I don’t know where you are, but in the US you can get speakers for $14-$20. It’s a good investment in your business and yourself since I suspect Eric will be using a lot of video screens that you will want the audio for.
I am developing my first website from the mix of info I have learned on the Internet over the last 6mos. You are so “ON” with your comment of being overwhelmed when you are a newbie (such as I). I would like to view your lessons at a quicker pace than every other day. Can I get them somehow so I may view them at my own pace? I will recommemd this site to everyone I know that wants to become an Internet Marketer.
PS. Thank you for creating these lessons. Had you not done this, I was going to create a simmilar series after learning what to do so the next Internet Marketer would not have to go through this learning curve.
Wow, a real trailer salesman! I too worked sales in the manufactured housing industry almost 8 years. In-home demos selling kitchens too. We seem to have similar backgrounds.
Thanks for sharing so much about yourself it’s truly refreshing. I’m looking forward to following along.
Great!!
Your diagnostic went right to the point. It hit more than 90% of the brave new starting online entrepreneurs down there.
Information overload, yet having nothing to show because things don’t seem to get themselves together by their own.
And you know what?
Most of that sitting or sleeping information, didn’t come for free.
So Eric, ready to go. Ready for the cure.
Lession 1 was easy to swallow, let’s see what’s next.
Braveheart
I just want to say thank you so much for this opportunity to learn from someone that knows the ropes.
Again thank you

In process
Eric,
I have been getting emails from you for some time, but I am very excited about your lessons.
For some time I have been “investing” in all kinds of CD’s, DVD’s, e-books and the list goes on. My husband says I have sucker written on my forhead; we’ll see if he still believes that in the near future. I want to launch an online business or businessed to help put money into retirement for my husband and I, plus I have a wonderful church that I would like to be able to give money to help in different areas such as missions. I was sooooo excited to learn you are a born-again Christian; I suspected as much as soon as you started talking about not bragging about your income and I believe the Holy Spirit revealed it to me just before you started talking about your prayer website. I am in information overload at present, plus as you stated, I have pieces of the puzzle but no cohesiveness to put everything together. I really need step-by-step instructions as to what to do to get started. Thank you so much for giving back what you have been blessed with.
Vicki
This is an excellent idea in helping noobies to get their feet wet in IM. How often are you going to post each lesson? I know it would be an enormous task, but one lesson a day would be fantastic. That would take everyone to a greater level in about four months! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for this endeavor. I have many attempts and
look forward to your STEP BY STEP lessons. I hope that
they are just that. I have a blog but not many results yet.
I have tried to build a list and it has been very slow going.
I think I know the basic but still it goes very slow.
Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to the next lesson.
Lonnie
Thanks for helping. I will surely have many questions.Personally, I am flooded with information, but I do not know how to start.I receive a lot of information, but nobody shows you how to start, if at least the first steps ….
Thanks again Eric
Thanks Eric!
You really hit the nail on the head when you said people get bogged down in the details and end up spinning their wheels going no where (paraphrased).
I have to admit I am guilty of just that – I currently have 20+ projects partially started, only one of them finished but not launched, 2 of them launched but not finished, and only one of the two is actually generating income… it is frustrating knowing so many details and not being able to organize those details well enough to make things happen.
I am looking forward to the rest of your series…
Question: any chance you will sell the whole set so we don’t have to wait 120+ days to actually get it all?
Kay
Hey sis- nice to have you on board 🙂
Thanks Sabrina 🙂 The reason the email hasn’t gone out yet is because Aweber is still in the process of resetting all my subscribers back to the first followup message. I think it will go out tonight.
Eric, thanks…you inspired me as soon as I heard you in Joel’s templates. Your instructions were the best part of my purchase. Looking forward to walking through this with you.
Colin
Hi JOSE- I am not sure which product you are referring to, but if it is one of mine, please open at ticket at my helpdesk and give us the details so we can assist you.
Iftekhar- Yes you can run an internet business from Pakistan. You will face some obstacles, but you can do it. Please read this article about Ladan Lashkari who became a successful internet marketer as a girl living in Iran: Ladan Lashkari article
This will show you that it is definitely possible if you have the determination.
I am an older man and I really appreciate you taking time showing us all the do’s and don’t and the if’s and but’s and why’s in a slower but comprehensive way. I wish you and your family all of the best.
Thanks again
Hi Proson- thanks for the offer. I am not doing any ad swaps currently, but there might be an opportunity in the future. I appreciate any publicity, and feel free to post a small ad for your site at the end of your comments when you comment on my blog.
Hi Francois- unfortunately I think making a PDF for each lesson would slow me down too much. But I will post the main points and action steps below each video. Also I will likely release the entire series on DVD when it is complete. I hate to make you wait 4-5 months for that, but it seems like it may be an option.
Hi Jim- apparently Gmail uses labels instead of folders. Here’s the info:

Hi Ira- I will be covering how to create a download page somewhere around lesson #41.
I am estimating 5 months. If I released a lesson every day, it would take 4 months. But I know there will be some gaps, so that’s why I’m estimating 5 months.
Hi Kay- I’m afraid it will slow me down too much if I do a full written version of each lesson. But I will be posting the main points and action steps below each video. Also, I am going to *try* to keep most of the lessons down to around 10 minutes.
thanks David 🙂 I totally agree, in fact I’m planning on talking about this somewhere around lesson #13.
Thanks Eric. What you’re doing is beyond commendable! My wife told me about this. She is on the mailing list for the “Tips”. And yes, we’ve suffered from information overload. By the way, today I recorded the vocals to a song I wrote called “Take Time to Pray”. The ‘Pray Way’ is good a good thing. I’d love to send you a CD when it’s complete. Thanks again.
hi Ray- if you’re unable to use Outlook, then Gmail would me my next choice. I have a lot of friends that actually prefer it. But here is some info about setting up OE Express:
