By | June 10, 2008

Welcome to Eric’s Tips!

If you want to start an online business, or if you want to make your current online business more profitable, you’ve come to the right place.

Please watch the following video:

Main points:

  • We’re going to start at the very beginning. It’s OK if you don’t know anything about online business.
  • I’m going to show you how to build an online business from ‘A’ to ‘Z’. If you’re an experienced internet marketer, please bear with me through the basics, because I’ll be sharing all of my advanced techniques too.
  • I have a lot of personal experience and success in online business, which qualifies me to teach you what I know.
  • I’m a “normal” guy, and I’m going to try to avoid the hype as much as possible.
  • Action steps:

    1) White list this email address: tips@ericstips.com (put me on your “safe list” to make sure you receive the lessons). For detailed instructions, please see:
    Whitelist instructions

    2) Make a folder to save all the emails you receive from me.

    3) Commit to following each lesson.

    As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.

    Have a great day!

      You know Eric, I have been bombarded with marketing madness and I admit, I was going to just dismiss this series as another one of the “guru” talks.

      I am blown away.

      Prayway alone is worth the effort of listening and that’s only midway thru the first lesson. Thank you so much. I feel very much at home.

      God bless you.

      I’m with Angel, WOW. I am completely blown away. You talk about information overload. I believe that you CAN say that ‘you do know the half of it’! Thank you so much for this opportunity…looking forward to lesson 2.

      Thank you so much!

      Ok Eric

      Rather than a folder I have purchased an external hard drive to store lessons. I want you to know that I am a beginner and I am putting my full faith in you if you can teach me you can teach any one!!!!

      Hi Eric

      Thank you so much for the opportunity you are giving me and to many other people. I really enjoyed watching your pictures, you have a beautiful family. You should be very proud of yourself for all the good help you are giving to so many of us that are struggling to make a decent living and have been swept up in the vortex of the Internet business without a clue
      of how to put all the dots together to make it
      work. The worst part is that after you have bought a system that is supposed to help you, they offer mentoring from $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 or even more, and if you say I don’t have enough money they just say, well then, we will call you in ten months to see how you are doing.

      I am really looking forward to all your lessons.

      Thank You and God bless You

      Eric, I was very impressed with the first video. You spoke to me when you were talking about being overloaded with information that wasn’t in any order of being able to fully understand what to do. Thank-You for doing this series. I am looking forward to it!

      I’m sooo in information overload. I was so glad to get your email. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to make this work. I’m not new to the internet but I don’t know everything either. Here is my question…
      I have most of the other email addresses but gmail is my newest and most favorite but I cannot figure out how to make folders. Can you please help me. I archive everything, will this be sufficient?

      Hi Eric,
      I´ve been online for almost 2 years,
      trial and error and trying to put the pieces together. It is still hard to stay focused and get everything organized. Very exciting to be part of this mentoring event.
      thank you,

      Creating traffic to my sites has been one of the great chalenges I have had. Can you recommend a good product on this matter? I know about PPC Classroom, the product is not expensive but going into ppc is expensive.
      There are “The Traffic Machines” Do these things work?
      Great lessons. I’ll be following everyone
      Thanks in advance.

      Yes I can recommend some products. If you want a product which covers many different ways of getting traffic, I recommend:

      Traffic Secrets from John Reese

      If you want to specialize in free search engine traffic, I recommend:

      Stomping the Search Engines from StomperNet

      If you want some automated software tools which include some sneaky ways of getting traffic, I recommend:

      Web Traffic Machines from Bishop Anders

      Hi Eric, I just joined and you have my attention. I have been in many business meetings, seminars, training seesions, skull sessions, etc. and many of the presenters actually are so boring, all you want to do is leave or sleep! Just the opposite with your style. When will we get the next lesson? Good job.

      Hey Brother,

      I just listened to your first tip, its Oct 25th, today and for some reason I’ve kept them all. I’m not sure if I’ll actually use them as I’m a Capt in the Air Force and have a good income. I’m also a musician and have at the core of my hearts desires to serve the Lord with the talents He’s allocated me, maybe this would give me that freedom. Either way I’m intrigued.

      I just wanted to let you know that from your first lesson, I can see you desire to honor the Lord also and have spent some time praying for you this morning. That your integrity would not fail and that whatever direction the Lord would lead you (even into decrease) would find you ever faithful. Thanks for your great witness.

      Also please change my email address to —— I’ve switched from the bigcohoona email (per your last lesson:)

      Thanks,

      Chad

      Eric, thank you so much. I have been overloaded for so long that at times it would have been so easy to give up, the only reason I haven’t is because I have invested so much money and time. The gurus seem to only have one group of people they are interested inhelping and that are the computer literate and you off the very beginning have instructions to help the “newbies”. Again, Thank You so much and can’t wait for lesson 2

      Eric, in your video you said to ask questions so here is my first. From lesson one you talked about creating a folder for storing all of your emails, how do I do that with gmail. I have windows vista and have only been using since July so I am not that knowledgable yet. Please help.

      God Bless

      Gmail uses labels rather than folders. There are some links toward the beginning of the comments. Thanks

      I am completely numb from the last 45 days of searching the internet on how to begin a blog (step-by-step)! I am so new to this I barely know what a dns is! I have recently had a ton of so-called experts email me and tell me to just sign-up with them and they’ll take it from there?LOL, and make me wealthy beyond my wildest dreams? I may be new to this but I sure as hell did not just fall off of the truck and land on my head!

      I realize the only way to wealth is knowledge and there is no way anyone can get it for me with out my knowledge thereof! The hype is appalling, I wish they would treat me/all of us like the adults we are and be direct with us instead of all of the emotional act now or your doomed to fail crapola!

      I just want to know step 1, 2, 3 and so on, Is this the place? Is this man Eric going to give me the pieces of a puzzle to put a blog together? I’m not looking for him or anyone to make me rich, I expect to be the one to acquire that aforementioned knoweledge necessary, however my question is this, what’s in it for him? Why is he going to educate me/direct me without there being anything in it for him? I have not seen a pitch for any product he may be selling so I don’t get it? No one on the internet has ever offered this or done this? Wow!

      Is this for real? Did I finally find someone that will help me with my mind full of mush? I am so confused at this point, I don’t know what to believe or do!

      I guess I will stay with him and excitedly wait for my next video? I sure wish he would send them daily? Oh well, patience has never been my strong point! LOL!

      Lastly, does he sell this material so I could go-at-it at my own pace? I could do 12hrs. a day, since that is what I have been doing for the last 3wks., Scowering the information highway until my eyes were bulging-out of their sockets! Maybe I’ll cut-it-down to 6hrs a day and give it a rest?

      I will gladly pay for the necessary information but everything I looked into came with strings attached, buy this and oh, by-the-way, you have to upgrade to this in order for you to achieve that?

      To hell with that up-sell garbage! Give it to me and give it to me staight! I’m an adult! I can take it!

      Well, sorry for the forever email but I had to vent! I’m sick of the empty promises and bulging eyes! LOL!
