      Thank you Eric. You have addressed a “main” issue. By the way I’ve been to the church there in Ft. Collins. I guess they are huge now. Not so back in ’84 !I would like to be involved in all 100 lessons.

      Thanks, Eric: Been looking for months for someone who will be there to ask the questions to, but mostly, an answer to prayer for someone who actually cares to help the newbies each step of the way. God bless.

      I have been suffering from info overload, but also a lack of confidence and am unsure that a successful online business is realistic and possible. I dont know anyone who has done this and am often told it is all a flashy scam, but I am going to follow your lessons and give it a go.

      Eric, thanks for the encouragement. This video has given me hope. Even though I am very enthusiastic about getting the business started, I so overwhelmed with all the information being thrown at me. I look forward to your next lesson.

      A dear friend, Holly Revard, recommended that I sign up for ericstips.com and study all the lessons. I am very grateful to my friend, Holly, for recommending this to me.
      Eric, I appreciate your willingness to share what has taken you many years to learn and develop. I appreciate your teaching us what is of real value, and showing us how we, too, can grow an online business and prosper, that we may better serve the Lord, and do our part to help make this life a life of joy and praise. I look forward to the coming lessons, and the online adventure to unfold!

      Eric, all I can say is, Wow. I have been looking for an honest, and sincere person to help me make a business on the internet and I have finally found you!! I’ve tried and failed many times becaue I just don’t have the knowledge to “market” my website. I have listened to other “gurus” on countless internet business ventures and have spent a lot of money doing it (and have had to hide the amounts from my wife!) All of these so called programs just got me all hyped up only to leave me in the dark because they wanted more money to give me the “real” secrets! Anyway, I am truly looking forward to learning from you. Thanks!

      Hi Eric,
      I’ve just watched your first Video, and will be looking forward to the next 120. You hit the nail on the head about being confused with all the information out there. I to Have been in sales most of my life too and I know that this is going to be a natural progression for me. Thanks

      Hi Eric
      I will first say thank you very much for all the information.Sometimes I am very confused by all this information online, people make you think that you can make money just like that, and I don’t know who to trust. I want to know what is the best way to get a lot of trafict to my website, and how to be successful in online business.
      Thank you very much and the best for you and your family.

      Sincerely : Aliou

      My prayers have been answered. I have been searching for a way to be able to spend more time with my family and to get away from the everyday humdrum of driving an hour to and from the office. Getting home late every night and barely have time with my husband and children has really put a strain on the home life. I am so glad to have stumbled across your newsletter, and to be able to sign up for the free tips to start or improve you online business. God bless you, for taking the confusion out of starting an online business. I can hardly wait to finish all of the lessons and apply them to my own online business. I am such a newborn to the online business that I still do not know which one is the right one for me, but I am confident that with the guidance of your lessons that muddy water will clear.

      I will be praying along the way to continue on the right road. Thank you so much!

      God Bless and keep you,
      Kimberly

      Hi Eric!

      I had a good time watching your Lesson 1 video but even better time doing Action Step #1: whitelisting your e-mail address in Google with a click of the Reply button. I wish everything would be as natural as this 🙂

      Take care, Art

      Thank you for your Lesson #1 but before you proceed with all the long procedures of your lessons, may I ask whether you offer free affiliate programs to sell your things? There are a couple of reliable internet millionaires in our own country Singapore inviting more affiliate members to join them for free, mainly for the reason that the idea is a win-win solution to both business parties concerned. From what I have researched through weeks on internet marketing and investigations in famous blogs, I realized that almost 99% of the affiiate programs are scams and MLM cases. I would only want to sell genuine things to earn money online just like I have done offline marketing in the conventional way before – honest job in a brick and mortar business. To pay to join affiliate programs basically does not make real sense at all. In a brick and mortar business, would I have to deposit some money first before working with him as a salesman if I do not actually possess his expensive products to sell yet? That is true in rare cases of a brick and mortar business these days but in online business, must we pay an affiliate program before starting? If I am an internet millionaire, I would definitely want all my affiliate members to join me for free in order that my business empire will rise like Solomon the Great whose every single pillar of his palaces were made of pure gold constructed by his well-paid workers. This is what I want – likened to the idea of Solomon the Great who had happy men under his rule for a long time. May you reply to me first to cut the story short?

      I think you are worrying too much 😉

      I do have affiliate programs for some of my products, and they are all free to join. However, my lessons are not about how to be my affiliate. They are about how to build your OWN business.

      Grettings,
      Eric, I must be missing something here. I was
      about to pay for a hosting company and start my
      web biz, then I saw your add. I thought to pay
      you and read it over the week end there by build up information before the next move.

      Now is like, I’m getting a lesson a day? How many days/lessons are there? Eric, I’m 59 years young,I need to hurry.
      I actually really appreciated you decided to
      share your experience.
      Thank You,

      Hi Eric; I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn how to do a online business. I’m one who needs to spoon fed information in order to get it. This looks like the right program for me. I have tried a couple that turned out to be scams, and this is how I came across this program. When I typed in the website it took me to the warnings and I’m glad it did, I could have invested alot of money. Being laid off and trying to find work has been almost impossible. So I decided I need to work for myself not for the other guy that doesn’t really look out for you anyway.

      Hello Eric,

      I signed up to your newsletter yesterday and also watched Lesson 1. Thank you for putting this together – I am looking forward to the remaining lessons. I actually signed up because I had identified Analysis Paralysis from Information Overload to be my stumbling block and I really needed some help.

      I have one question. If I wanted to watch more than one lesson sometimes, is there some way of indicating that I am ready for the next lesson? Thanks again

      Hi Eric, First of all, I think this is “Outstanding”! I’ve been praying for something like this and a friend told me about your site. Thank you so much for having the heart and the mind set for what you are doing. Thank you in advance for the knowledge you are sharing.

      Here’s my question. I’m trying to complete the white list for bellsouth.net as my e-mail service, but I did not see it listed as a
      e-mail provider. Would you please advise? Thanks again ! Henry

      The method depends on your email provider. Several of them have been explained above or in the comments.

      I’m not familiar with how bellsouth works. You might get in touch with them. But if you have no problem receiving the first several lessons, then you probably don’t need to worry about it.

      Hi Eric,
      I ran across your site online, not quite sure how, but I’m grateful that I did. I enjoyed your review of Mike Filsaimes’ affiliate website. I got the site prior to learning about getting it through you. I would have done it through your link because like you, I believe that you should host the review site on your domain site. However, it can be a nightmare uploading it & getting it running. I did register for your course however, although its beginner related, I feel that I can pick up some valuable lessons from you alone the way. I am going to ask you for your help with the review site. I know that the info on the video indicated that the specifics of how to upload and manage the affiliate website was reserved for people who got the site through you. If you can find it in your heart to help by allowing me full access to that video I would be eternally grateful. I have been struggling in this business for about 6 months now, and have exhausted all of my budget, haven’t made much money with it yet, & my wife is giving me that look, constantly… you know that-how long will you keep putting in your time & our money into this thing look. I really love this business. I’ve been mostly during PPC camgaings. I spend about 13-16 hours a day trying different things, researching,starting a campaign, testing it,etc. I know that I have been blessed to do this, otherwise I don’t think that I would be this passionate about it. I just can’t quit. I will persist until I succeed. If you can’t make allowance for me, I’ll understand. God bless.

      Hi Eric!
      Thank you very much Eric to give us all these lessons for free. Started today and I’m looking forward to learn all about IM. Subscribed to Eric’s Tips in February (all folded since) but I have been totaly overwhelmed with information and offers until now. I have unsubscribed most of the over 40 internetmarketers to focus at your elementary school. Whitelisted, folded, promise to commit each lesson. By for now! Ted

      I teach how to build an online business. It’s not instant, and its not a get rich quick thing. It generally takes at least a small amount of capital to get your business started. I talk about all of that in lesson #8.
