      Hi Eric,

      I’m excited to learn more – thanks so much for sharing with all of us who are interested in building an online business. I have a little website which is not generating much income right now, but I see that it can be done and I am ready to get started!

      Hi Eric,

      I am impressed by your testimony and ideals in life. Thanks for sharing what you know to others who are in need. I know how God blessed you so much, that is seen in your lifestyle of being committed to God faithfully supporting His vineyard as well. I am a minister too of the gospel but in the Philippines on which I really prayed someday I will also learn internet marketing that I can support my ministry and have our own church property (church building and lot). Is there any short cuts to learning internet marketing especially to newbies in this field? Thanks and God blesses you more.

      Eric,
      Thank you so much for your lessons. I have a website, but have not made any money yet. Like you said there is so much information I’m floundering with how to actually make this work. I start down one path and someone else tells me I need to do something different. I will be with you to the end. I’ve spent 20 years as a business programmer analysis, but the internet is different.
      I really like your idea of giving back. My goal has been to learn how to make a living online and teach other baby boomers who have been caught in the crunch how to do this.
      Thank you

      Hi Eric,
      I have had a hard time trying to believe that there is any truth in any of those opportunities; on the internet yes I have lost a lot of money on those duds, and about to throw in the towel, and say goodbye to internet marketing.
      Then came along Eric, well to put it in a nut shell, you remind me of me, I to want to be very honest with people, and have always been, I have been criticized by those near to me, by saying, don’t expect others to be like you, your too soft into believing what other people tell you, well my answer is to those comments, hey I have not done to bad in the last 75 years as you can see, and you have not as well, because you trusted me.
      When I opened your email Eric I was saying to myself yea yea yea, but you registered straight away that you meant what you are saying, and with lesson number one I was completely convinced.
      Sorry people if this is a long comment, it is not because I am old and no one to talk to, wow I am far too busy trying to succeed on the internet and in full time job, but hey if I succeed with this one with Eric I too can go and tell my boss, you know what I mean.
      Thanks Eric do us all proud please we have faith in you.

      Hi Eric,
      I have heard of you and listened to you a while back. You hit it right on the head about info overload! I’m frozen because of this and have decided to quit listening to anyone but you. And, it’s because you are so down to earth and I can feel the warmth and how you truly wish to help people.
      I will follow every lesson and ask questions, which I will most likely have many.
      I have lived in Denver most of my 5 years and nice to know you enjoy Ft Collins and Colorado. It is a wonderful place!
      Possibly soon, we’ll be ale to meet in person. I would enjoy that.
      Looking forward to learning every thing I can from you. Doug

      Eric, I just started today; listened to your intro video and am very excited to get started AND progress with IPE. I too have information overload with no positive results. I also am interested in the PrayWay (?) you mentioned.

      Thank you.

      It was very refreshing to listen to an entire video without experiencing ANY buffering. What system are you using to create your videos?

      I am so pleased to know that you and your family love the Lord. He is so GOOD to us. God bless you for your service to HIM and to us IMers.

      Hi Eric,
      I just recently signed up for the Instant Product Engine and you sent me the email for your 100 lessons. I’ve watched the first video and can’t wait to see more. At present I’m completely overwhelmed with what I have received on the Instant Product Engine and still don’t know where to start on it. Will this course shed some light on that? When should I begin with that package? Should I wait or are there things I can do with it now? This is what I have been looking for but need some direction on where to start. Thanks a bunch.

      Hello Laurie,

      It’s becoming increasingly difficult to comply with Google’s policies. We’re coming into an era where Google has decided they no longer need smaller affiliates. We’ve heard numerous reports from people who’s accounts were banned, and no explanation was given.

      We recommend that you carefully follow whatever Google tells you if you want to continue to advertise with them, or you may want to move over to Yahoo and Microsoft.

      I have not heard you address whether or not the material that you are introducing will be compatible in WordPress? I am assuming that it is but in your presentations and even now, I have not heard you mention it. I have seen the PLR e-books and graphic material with the WordPress logo however nothing about being able to apply your information and experience in it. Thanks!

      I was overload with information, I thought I couldn’t break out and start. Now I have a hope. I would be glad If I forget my headache after any lessons what I today have.

      After the first lesson I have trust in Eric and in teh cours.

      Thank you Eric.

      Eric, I too am on information overload. What I’m finding out is this. I’ll buy aproduct andno one tells me how to promote it. That’s what I need to know step-by-step. Don’t assume I know anything. I feel these products will work for me if I get them out there to the public the right way. Sorry I couldn’t afford your 97.00 package. I really do want it.

      Eric, Thank You for this. Freedom, his is a concept I long to know. I am a father of 4 and a devoted husband, and a online student inrolled in Liberty University’s Religious Studies program. Together my wife and I make less than 30,000 a year. I find I spend more time working for a paycheck than working for our Lord. I believe this will help to change that. My hearts desire is to spend all my days preaching the gospel to a lost and dying world. I’m really looking forward to what you can teach me. Thank you again. Grace and Peace

      I can’t tell you how much hope you, and starting these lessons have given me. Just as I found you, I was so flat, feeling hopeless, terrified that I spent the last 9 months of spending thousands of loaned money, buying products, programs softwares going to on very expensive seminar only to be where I am at…zero. I made no money and did not even be able (I was so busy learning and spending what money I had..)to launch anything that would have made me money! I believe I do have some good programs and had set a total moritorium on spending another dime on anything but advertising until I saw your ad on the excellent ebooks which came with PDF notes, Checklists…and all the features…I did resist buying mostly because it was the end of the month and I did not have any $. Then I saw the promotion for the, “REAL GUYS!” I was sold. I felt like I’d been in the desert running from one mirage after another, never to make it to the promised land and now I’d found a real oasis and water. It was and is just what I needed someone to show up in my life and say and to well, be real. With the course presented, it was a no brainer. In time I hope to get another swack at buying the ebooks program that I miss previously. Right now, I am cooling it abit, and going back with you to learn what pieces of the puzzle that I have missed and cure this condition of having disconnected knowledge. I am back to myself, full of hope and positive expectations which drove me to work and study so hard for 7 months..and I also have a plan for action to use a few of my products/program to do some inexpensive advertisement and to get some land based and virtual business going. I so look forward to your courses and tips!

      Thanks for this opportunity. I’m lagging behind as usual, but I have completed this first lesson. You’ve had a lot of success in your endeavors.

      I have other programs which can be a hindrance because I get into doing one program and don’t want to stop. I guess this is a good thing, but sometimes I get stymied and bogged in one area and let other things, like these lessons, slide by. I’ll try to be more diligent. Thanks again. I can’t wait to get rolling toward my biggest goal now: being an online success.

      Hello, Eric
      Thanks for your tips. I am suffering from information over load, so I decided to take a step back and learn from you. My question is how do I create a folder and save your email lessons in my Gmail account?

      Thank you very much.

      Eric thank you for sharing your story. I too want to become successful in this business, and would like to learn for individuals who have become successful in this business.I was laid off almost 2 years ago, and have an 85year mom who I assist in taking care of. It’s been difficult to say the least. I just found out about affiliate marketing, and I have a lot to learn. Can’t wait to be a success in this business, and get involved in helping to give to others financially and otherwise.

      Thanks Eric, I do have a serious case of info overload and the paralysis thing too. Have been learning so much info that I don’t have a clue as to where to start and it doesn’t help that I am trying to start with a very minute amount of money because I don’t have any. But am very much looking forward to learning from you and I will visit your prayway site because I need all the prayers I can get. Just recently recovering from breast cancer and have alot of medical bills to pay. But I am looking forward to starting my new chance at a new life as an internet marketer. Have a great day!!
