I’m glad that you’ve chosen to learn from me, but chances are good that you’ve noticed a lot of voices vying for your attention. There are a lot of so-called experts out there trying to tell you how to build your business.
The question is: WHO should you listen to and who should you trust?
(Watch this video…)
Main points:
1) Learn from real experts, not wannabe’s
2) Look for proof and testimonials (but don’t base your opinion solely on it)
3) Listen to someone you can understand
4) Listen to someone who has failed at times
5) Listen to someone who’s not afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear
6) Don’t write someone off just because they’re trying to make money off of you (unless they are too manipulative)
7) Trust someone and follow them, but not blindly
8] Learn how to weigh the facts (this is the most important key)
Action steps:
1) Find someone to listen to.
Find someone who has done what you want to do. Someone who is a real expert and not a wannabe. Someone you can trust. That person might be me, or it might be someone else. The important thing is that you find someone you can trust, and then follow them with open eyes and a discerning heart.
We need to cover one final prerequisite before we develop the vision and plan for your online business. It’s sort of a missing piece, and I’ll be revealing it in the next lesson.
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!
I’m not sure which one you’re talking about, but no you don’t *need* to buy it.
Looked for my answer. Did I phrase it wrong? Not here.
Thanks eroc. Hope the days are great.
Eric !
Thanks for helping clear the fog away..I’ll stay
with you. It’s great too actually have someone
who honestly wants to help us learn.

Hi Eric,
Just finished lessson 11 and looking forward to lesson 12. I must say its great being able to ask you questions etc and get an answer back so quickly. I lefta thanks today after lesson 4 and with in half hour had a reply GREAT.
Another great video jam-packed with good information. I have found there are more honest and sincere marketers out there than scammers. However, most of them don’t know how to teach and promote newbies.
Hi Eric I’ll enjoy reading your erictips, I’ll learning alot.I need your opinion on Bishop Anders-web traffic machine program. Thank You for info
C.L.BOOKER
which answer…
If you’ve got a website and you’re OK with using semi-automated techniques to build links and get traffic, Bishops tools at Web Traffic Machines can be very helpful.
Hi Eric Thank You for info,i rebuilding my website
My husband has create a pill that will take the place of dialysis. We have 100 hits a month but no one has purchase the product. What are we doing wrong?
4) Listen to someone who has failed at times and learned, became better and more successful.

nuevamente muchas gracias
what are your thoughts on submission i bought it i think but didn’t have a web site at the time so i cut off from it then found thru my bank account that they got my money but i got nothing can this be corrected?is there a way to get in touch with them please email an answer.
Very good. After all, some people are foolish and don’t learn from their mistakes. We want to listen to wise people.
What submission are you referring to? If it’s search engine submission, it’s just not necessary.
there are several possibilities. I went to your site and didn’t see any way to order it, so that could be the problem. Or it could be that the offer is not resonating with your market, or it could be that your traffic is not targeted… just to name a few.
it was a search engine submisson it was at the begining of one of the lesson i believe.
Hmmm… I can not think of what that might be. I do not think I’ve recommended any SE submission services other than Traffic Sage, but that’s an overall traffic outsourcing service.
i dout it was on yours but lately i’ve been hitting so many sites it’s hard to keep track.i’m sorry if i wrongly made that statement it wasn’t ment to be any reflection on you or this course which i really enjoy i’m learning but i’m still a newbie making newbie mistakes.but lesson three help me stop buying.thanks for that.
You keep saying,’don’t buy what you don’t need’. Do I need to buy into places such as Submission Hub?
Hello Gayle,
Eric doesn’t remember recommending any SE submission services other than: http://www.trafficsages.com/
Traffic Sage is an overall traffic outsourcing service.
Hi Eric, You are so right…I am being bombarded by different companies wanting to sell me services. I am very confused. I think I will listen to you.
Hi Eric, your are right…before that I have been nearly trapped on those wannabe,who try to sell me lots of things. I am so confused, thanks God that I find your link ,and I keep follow the every tips ,is really helpful. Thanks again
Hi Eric,
Thanks I enjoying your lessons.
I am trying to get this website to work better the main problem for me at the moment is the galleries for the hotels.
And people please feel free to comment on it a fresh look and opinion is welcomed.
I am trying to create the site with free software and flickr pro and I have learnt as I have gone along.
You will notice there is a Russian site with the same info in Russian and there will soon be a Hebrew version.
I am not buying any services except flickr pro and it will be a while till I consider it.
Deeply grateful for your free lessons.
Regards David Gardiner
thank you for responding to my question. The question still remains, do I need a traffic generating service or will I learn how to do that myself?
actually the thing that I am referring to is a service for entering your website information into the search engines.
Eric,
thanks another great video.
Hello Gayle,
Submitting website information to the search engines isn’t vital, as they’ve gotten better at finding your sites on their own.
You can even submit your sites manually from these links if you wanted the major search engines to be aware of your sites, and avoid paying a SE submission service:
http://www.google.com/addurl/
https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit
http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx
You can certainly benefit from a good traffic service such as:
http://www.trafficsages.com/
But there are also many ways of getting traffic on your own. We recommend that you keep following Eric’s Tips to learn these tips as he shares them.
thank you very much Micah!! I appreciate you helping me to stop buying things I don’t need. Until I get some traffic going I have no income so more than usual, every penney counts. Thanks, again
Hi Eric,
Learning how to make money on the internet is an art just like you said Eric. I know it is impossible to learn everything properly. I believe the value lies in the content of the teacher’s messages and you certainly pass for a teacher.
Hi, i accidentally discovered your site while researching online businesses on workathometruth i was looking at maverickmoneymakers, niche blitzkrieg,dean holland,jeff walker,they all had plenty to offer at a price (not that paying for info is bad) but your approach and that you are a christian appealed to me and i like to be reeled in a little slower and armed with information and you seem to offer that. Anyway i thank you for sending me your lessons and i have watched 1 thru 6 and was wondering if i could get more so i can catch up to where you are now (47 i believe) thanks. And do you have any opinion on the other people i mentioned? this all seems very exciting and i am looking forward to possibly supplementing my income with some good old hard work.
Hi Eric.
I have found your tips very informitive and am very greatful to you. I’ve kinda done what you said not to do, just to see how right you are. I’ve checked out other sites and have found that a majority of them say the exact same thing. You can make lots of money using my method. They almost sound like they were writen by the same person and just read by someone else. They all sound the same.
I feel very confident in using your tips. I get the feeling your someone that I can trust. And I intend to follow your plan.
Thanks Eric for opening my eye’s
Hi Eric,
Wow! I am a newbie that has looked at a lot of what others are offering, but am so impressed with your free tips and lessons. I am a missionary, to a nation in southeast Asia, and have been seeking a way to help raise funds for the work in that part of the world, as well as help support myself and young daughter. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing away with the usual hype and keeping it real. Unfortunately, todays video clip (#11) did not load for me. Is there a glitch with this particular video or was it just me w/the problem? Looking forward to learn tons more from you.
Multiplied blessings, Pearl
PS. Enjoyed your family pics.
Hi Eric I am part of a company that helps get clients out of debt, I would like your opinion on the web site.
Thanks Pearl. The video should be OK, please try these steps:

Thanks, once again, Eric. I was able to view it this time.
What can I do to get the lessons sent faster? Especially for the weekends. I would like to move my studies a little faster than 6 or 7 lessons per week.
hi Eric,i simply appreciate the way you handled such a WEIGHTY subject with an EXPLOSIVE humility and sincerity.now it may seem so simple,but there are people out there who would have handled it differently,drawing all the attention to themselves.and why not,after all it’s their show.THUMBS UP.
N/B: i wrote a comment after watching Lesson #4,but i can’t seem to find it in the list of people’s comments.didn’t it post? could you please verify for me? thanks.
Hi Eric
Thanks for everything.I am saleh from Bangladesh following your lessons very sincerely and attentively. My problem is how can I make an paypal account from here.I am trying my best to open one consulting the banks.On the paypals website Bangladesh is not there in the country list. Can you help me with providing any hint so that I can buy the products from your lessons links.

I occassionally still get this problem but I’ve found that it usually happens when I ask XSP to do two things too quickly that conflict/impinge on each other. Because it’s such a great tool and so fast, sometimes I get a bit carried away. But the upside to this minor inconvenience is that you do learn to save your work much more regularly ~ and that’s not all bad! 🙂 I seem to get a few power failures here so for me this has proved a bonus inconvenience now simply because I’ve saved work as I go along.
The support team is tops so they will get back to you shortly and they actually stay with you until you are satisfied and happy again.
I love my XSP2.
Eric, thankyou so much for your fabulous videos and honest advice. I’ve been listening to you on and off ever since you brought out VRE (I think it was?)and then I think you sold it…?whatever, I’m not going anywhere until you kick me out 🙂
A comment here on this last video about finding a mentor who is doing what you want to do. My biggest problem is/was finding precisely what I wanted to do so you end up listening and leaving a lot of people and systems.
Thanks again Eric and Cheers all

Hi Eric,
I have been inundated with offers that will make me rich overnight. I am following your advice and putting a sock onto buying anything until I am way down your course.

Hi Eric
I am very new at this, i decided to build my own website(No idear) about 2 monthw ago, made a quite a few mistakes and still makeing them. I am up to video number 11 and can’t wait for the next one. Thank you for your information.

Eric,
I can understand that one must find someone they trust and follow them in order to make it in this business venture. That is why I am here.
I was recently scammed for close to $400.00 which I am still in the process of recuperating from. When that happens to one it makes it really hard to trust anyone on the internet.You are the first one I have found that appears to be genuinely concerned about helping someone start their own business without trying to soak them for a lot of money in the process.I have no objection to someone making a profit from me as long as I will be able to learn enough from them to cover my expenses in doing so. I have had phone calls from some wanting to set me up in business and teach me the ropes at cost of $1000.00 to $2000.00. If I had that kind of money to shell out I would not be trying to make a few extra dollars online.
I am recently retired (March of 2009) due to the company I was working for shutting down because of the economy. The jobs in this area that I could get at that time did not pay as well as early retirement does. I have also just remarried a couple of months ago (July 18, 2009) and want my wife and I to be able to have the finer things in life that one should have during this phase of life and that can not be accomplished on social security. I have no objection to investing a small amount of money into a business, but I need for the business to be able to pay its own way until it get off the ground and starts making a profit as I can not afford to support it.
Maybe this is not what I need to be doing, but I have to do something and I honestly feel like this is it. You tell me???

Internet marketing is not for everyone, but it’s the easiest way I’ve come across to build a profitable business. Did you watch lesson #3?
If you’ve decided that this is something that you want to pursue, then by all means go for it 🙂
Eric,
I am watching all of your lessons in order. I am up to lesson #16 now. I was having trouble getting them watched as I first received them and have a pile of them (35 I think) saved in an e-mail folder and am watching several of them each day. Trying not to info overload at the same time. What I am seeing so far is a great inspiration to my vision. Both short and long term.

Hi Eric,
I am a freelance writer and I am trying to sell. I am still in the starting period writing a novel and smaller articles to customers.
The problem is what you are talking about in lesson 11. I feel that I am being ripped off. The other problem is that I do not always get around to use the special tools I am guided to
You seem to be a person I can choose to understand… Swedish ancestors?
Hi Eric
I am having a great time listening to your lessons.
Since I am a guy with 30 years of corporate experience at high levels many of those tips I have heard is already know to me. But yet some ofthe ideas are revelations are good and the presentation is excellent.
I have just heard lesson 11. As I go through I am confident that I will come to know of very relevant, serious and solid inputs that will enable me to succeed in my internet business venture.
Regards
Mothiram
