        It’s great to get some real no nonsense advice – almost everytime I read something new about online marketing I am overwhelmed with the feeling of is it true, or what the last thing I read wrong? It is really all about trusting your feeling and following your gut instincts.

      Hi Eric

      I am suffering from information overload as I have about 12 different projects going on, but yet to earn any money after six months.
      So I have decided to cut my loses and follow your lessons, I have learnt a lot in six months but need to get on track to make it work, so I commit to following your lessons to hopefully earn some money, my immediate goal is to pay off my £40k mortgage in the next 3 years.
      Regards Ken….

      Thank’s Eric,

      I am a missionary to Mexico and raise my own support. I am new to this so I hope this will give me direction on how to get a internet business up and running. Like you said for me and my family its not about all the trips and nice cars but is about reaching more people for Christ in Mexico.

      Thanks and God Bless,

      Can you direct and control web spiders to promote web sites?
      I heard that a web page with one link to another is a good way to optimize a site! Just one link that the spider can go down then go down multiple. This got me to thinking as the Google bot gets to your site you can be notified. If you directed the Google bot down multiple one site links, as it was traveling from one site to another, understanding the speed at the spider would travel, could you close the original link and join the final link to the start taking the link away would then cause the spider to travel in circles. If then you could automate the sites to change content or have a system to keep putting information on each site the spider would keep gathering information, maybe on one subject or many. How would this work? could this enable the Google bot to promote your sites?
      I don’t know how things work but sounds good in theory if it can be done!!!!
      Thanks for the lessons.

        Hello Christian,

        “Gaming” the search engines isn’t the best way to build your business, because eventually they will find out.

        If you continue to add quality content over the course of time, the search engines will rank your site much better.

          Good to know that we can move ahead a bit if we are familiar with the topic or go back if we need review.

          However I came upon this opportunity to have these lessons, I am totally grateful for being here. I too am into overwhelm and just can’t seem to get out of the loop.

          I commit to following these lessons and more importantly, taking ACTION.

          Thank you Eric.

      Hi Eric:
      Bought your Fire sale Fitness package couple of days ago; then the upgrade for the PLR came up. I am thinking of purchasing the Upgrade tonight and focus mainly in marketing this package because it comes with video and squeeze pages. I have bought so many “shiny” programs and software that have great promises but still many under delivered. Still looking for my first dollar online.
      I hope you have great instructions for this newbie to follow in your Fitness package.
      In Christ,
      Dennis

      Eric, I am so pleased to get a chance to learn from you and hopefully get my site productive. I am an Evangelist about ready to retire from my job as an Electrical foreman and enter missionary work along with my wife and we are hoping to use our marketing to provide for our ministry outreach and full time service to God. I was very happy when you shared the information about your work for the Lord as well and am pleased to know I will be receiving Godly council. God Bless you and your family, and thanks again for the help to grow productive. In Christ, Charles and Pamela Woodward

      I don’t really have anything to sell! I was considering being an affiliate on amazon.com, don’t understand that. Have never really looked at ebay.com yet. But, I had an ideam just not sure how to work it. I’m a muscian, playing Piano! I have recorded a CD of the Older Music that I grew up with. Most of my music is Gospel because I’ve played for many churches throughout my lifetime, I’m 60yrs. any suggestion of how I could create a web site with my music.

      Hi Eric, thanks a lot for sharing this great information with us. Honestly i am a victim of information overload. I have been online since 2010 with my own PC but i have not been able to achieve anything because i do not concentrate with one idea for long or i can’t manage to put the pieces together. I am looking forward to learn from you and to put everything into practise to realize some results.

      Dear Eric,
      many thanks for your invitation to join your group for coaching. Lesson 1 is great to get aquainted with your family and you an to get motivations for ACTION.
      I am Lyudmila Chudinovskikh from Russia, Chernogolovka, Moscow district. I’m retired. But I used to work all over my life: I worked in science in the field of experimental mineralogy, PhD, have publications both in Russian and in English, worked for about 10 years in one of the best Labs in Germany with the famous scientist, Dr.R.Boehler (now he works and lives with his family in US, Washington).
      Recenly I came to conclusion to try myself in internet business. Why? 1. I cannot sit simply without actions and without trainig my brain. 2. I’d like to have a little bit money for my husband and me in addition to our pension money. For the moment I have some knowledge in info-business in Russia. I can create sites using Word Press, I can make dudle-videos etc. But I’d like to do my business step by step with you, your Lessons. Hope to be a good student.

      Eric and the three real dudes!
      Hi Guys. I have been putting all of the email that I have received from you in a separate folder so that when I finally decided I had enough and determined who it was that I was going to follow, that I could come back and start at day one when I first began receiving your mail. This was the first one I received in Aug 2013; so this is where I am starting from. And I have determined that I will be following the three of you who apparently knew each other and decided that you were going to get together as a team and teach people such as myself. I have just finished your Lesson One, Eric. I am very anxious to get started so I wanted to let you know that out of about ten guys I picked up one through all of the hype and white lies out there, I picked you as honest and humble guys and cannot wait to get started. Thanks very much for being real, and being honest, but that comes with walking with God too. Thanks again. Rene

      I appreciate the style. I am not into showy cars or mansions either. I go to a church that is also very mission oriented, having sent short term teams to Bolivia to help build a church with 10% of our new buildng fund going for them We have had small medical groups go to Africa and some group to India. It takes money which l have little of at the moment, but l am sure internet marketing works and with recent lay offs in the music field, l am interested.Thanks so much for affordable knowledge.

      I’m very grateful that Richard Legg introduced me to you.
      I’ve recently purchased (and upgraded) the No Cost Income Stream program. I really want to commit and stay consistent with learning and growing in the field of internet marketing. May I have your recommendation, please? Should I start with “Eric’s Tips” lessons or with the course, or both at the same time?
      Thank you for everything! I’m looking forward to learning.

        Hello Sam,

        If you have the time, and the ability, you could always study both at the same time.

        But, if you want to focus on free methods of business building, you might want to start with your purchase first.

      Hi Eric,

      I am excited to be here! I have 2 websites that I have built in the last 2 months, and now I’m stuck. My websites are on the niche of real ways to make money online, and the direction it I want to take people is to know that with training, step by step instructions, and dedication this can be a real dream come true. I need someone to check out my website that is getting the most traffic, which is not much. bestworkfromhomegig.com, can you give me some critiquing to make this site better. I am a new writer, and am trying to improve by writing at least one article a day, everyday. And it always is the positive side of the problem we are discussing in the article. Positive thinking, and doing this Honestly, and for the good of others, is a very important thing to me. I am looking forward to going through this whole course and getting to the end result of making money online for me and hopefully all my readers too.

      Thank you,

      Hi Eric
      I am so glad to have found you again. We used to get your tips many years (well over 10) ago when you were just getting going with it and when one had to wait for the next one to be written and we did enjoy and look forward to them. (You didn’t have so many – if any – children then!)
      Unfortunately, we lost one of our most precious sons and one mini disaster after another followed us – including walking away from our home, no computers, marriage break up etc etc.

      However, life now finally seems to be back on track and I really look forward to getting re-acquainted with all your knowledge and wisdom and starting again back at the beginning. Have just purchased your course ‘No Cost Income Streams’ – so getting stuck into that at the same time. It is really great to see you getting on so well Eric (your wife and children look gorgeous) and I am really going to try very hard to get where I want to be.
      With your help, I hope
      God Bless You and the ‘other guys’

      Hi Eric,
      I am from India and what you said in your 1st video about overload of information is so very true. I am going to follow your each video step by step and hope it really shows me the way even if it takes a bit of time because with overload of information it is very difficult to decide what to do and what not to do and to lineup priorities.
      Thanks & see you soon
