      When the economy crashed (and hay and grain prices soared as well), my elk and deer sanctuary (which I inherited as a hunting ranch) sucked the advertising money out of my very successful advice business. This started me on substituting internet presence for the advertising. It’s not just marketeers who are scams but technical people too: They can do whatever it is you want until you pay them upfront, and then there’s some reason that can’t be done, but there’s something else they want to do, because it’s the only thing they know how to do. I got my money back from each of those, and from one of the marketeers who said he was going to do what sites needed done … until you paid him $800. I listen to hundreds of webinars (I work while listening) to find the mooch point, I call it; and I always do. Pretty good at it after 25 years of court reporting. May write a funny ebook about marketeers.

      My blog won’t respond to controls it should respond to. It may be a demo instead of a full-fledged blog. I need to find someone who can diagnose whether to fix it or to go ahead and recreate it.
      Then I need someone who can make the changes on it. Suspect that someone may not be me. Maybe the local friend-of-a-friend can look at the material I bought from you and speed up his knowhow on fixing this blog.
      The blog gets 800 words or more a day of original content, with graphics, on the same subject, and is ranked very highly for the tiny thing it is.
      I need to get this blog developed in order to do some things on the ranch (500 acres with 2500 feet difference in its elevations)that will benefit people who work there, that I pay.
      Interesting, all these people talking about an answer to prayer: That was my impression too.

      Hi Eric,

      You are an answer to my prayers. Thank you for making yourself available to change other peoples lives. I also share same faith with you which is amazing. It is not very common to see internet marketers with christian values like yours. It’s quite obvious I am going to benefit from your tips because I am a newbie and have no technical knowledge. thank you for presenting yourself to me. Have a peaceful year and God’s abundance.

      Hi Eric,
      I’m really happy with this first lesson but I have a question on the Firesale in which I had paid $27.00 for the products. Is this part of that or this is a different thing all together? When would be able to get access to the products I had paid for?

      Thank you for your responds and for this lesson.

      Hi Eric,
      May Jesus bless you richly that you may lift up His Name in these end times to millions for salvation!
      Im a missionary also to Israel now and have been to Ethiopia (water projects). The Lord told me to sell all for my last mission to Israel, I believe many were saved. Upon returning the Lord had put $47,000 into my checking account, and gave me a monthly income of $3600, Praise his Holy Name and his instruction on tithing & giving. I have tried for 8 years to do something consistant for appreciable income on the net.I just hope this truly is a gift from God where all good things come from.
      I am really enthused about the potential I see for success (Joshua 1:8) Also so many ways I have seen come into my head for, lack of a better word “Marketing all the many aspects of the Good News of Jesus to all that are Hungry for Salvation;Love; Prosperity; success; peace; happiness; freedom from bondage; victory over the enemy trash; truth, healing and health and all the good news He has provided Man thru His sacrifice of Love.
      I pray a blessing over you and your family and ask a thousand fold return on all the seed you have sown in tithes and offerings.
      your brother in Christ

      Thanks for giving us some background about yourself and your motivation. Really appreciate your approach. Using money to help others, not bragging about luxury cars, not putting other people down or using bad language…Quite refreshing. In fact reading some of those things on the intro sales pitch was what made me decide to buy.

      Hi Justin
      As Eric said each email system has it’s own little secrets! I suggest you go to Google.com and type in this question – “How to set up email folders on thunderbird” (without speech marks)- and you will find several good easy to follow instructions.
      Hope this helps

      I appreciate your total honesty. I retired with several million dollars but when the economy collapsed I lost almost everything I had. I too enjoyed mission work, bussing kids to a couple of different missions in Mexico to help with building houses, etc. I have tried now for over two years to make a $ on line but have failed. I almost didn’t sign up but in the last hours of your offer, I decided once more that I would like to give it a try again. I do have the desire to make it on line. God has blessed you and your team and I am happy for you.

      Eric, God is truly real and you are right on time. I’m a steel worker with basic computer skills. I bought into one of those “Guru” traps and now I’m stuck with a website that I have know idea how to manage. I NEED HELP!!! To make a long story short, in Nov.2012 I went into the hospital to have a minor surgery. Things didn’t turn out well. I haven’t been back to work since and the road to full recovery is a long way off so now I have plenty of time to dedicate to learning and building a successful online business. In the last several months my whole life prospective has changed. Working in the Mill is no longer enough. Watching my daughter grow up from a distance and seeing my wife in passing is not enough. I owe them more. I want to give them more. I can’t wait to get started.
      I’m all in… Rodney

      I just want to tell you Thanks for the training today. I got lesson 1 yesterday and lesson 2 today. I was eager to start lesson 2, but I tried to save it first, something went wrong and now I can’t find it. Can you send me lesson 2 again please. Thank you.

      I am a humble believer in your philosophy

      I have a page that you know it is, that in a month received 417 visits with google adwords, no sales, no subscribers, I’ve done wrong?, and I need help, I hope you can do something for me.

      really important for me because I have 54 years and my dream is to be the principle source of my income and independence, by the wayto vary I am unemployed.

      Happy to meet you

      Hi Eric, First and Foremost, I’m thrilled that you are a Believer and a committed Christian. And, I’m sincerely encouraged to be studying from you after months of struggling through the maze of IM hype. I’ve already checked out your PrayWay website! Someday when we have a chance to meet, I’ll share my ministry vision for tips and advice. In the mean time, I am looking forward to this 100 Lesson Course. Thanks, Steve (Colorado Springs)

      Hello Joseph,

      Here is a link that should help you to be able to view the videos properly:

      Trouble Viewing Flash Videos – SOLUTIONS

      Here are some steps for most of our videos, just to make sure you are doing this properly.

      1. Unzip downloaded video file.
      2. Navigate inside the unzipped folder, and find the WATCH-VIDEO file.
      3. Double click the WATCH-VIDEO file, to open in your default web browser.
      4. Click the “play” button in the center of the video.

      If the video still will not play, sometimes the easiest solution is to use a different web browser, such as Chrome, FireFox, IE, etc…
