Happy Thanksgiving! While I’m aware that only about half of Eric’s Tips readers are in the USA, there’s no reason you can’t be thankful anywhere in the world 🙂
Today I’ve got a few things for you…
1) A Thanksgiving gift
2) A Thanksgiving CONTEST
3) Some stuff for you to check out
| First, I want everyone who reads this newsletter to know that I’m thankful for YOU. Without you, Eric’s Tips wouldn’t exist.
Here’s a FREE small gift as a token of my appreciation. It’s a collection of WordPress Sales Letter themes. In other words, these themes enable you to easily create a sales letter on any WordPress site. This is a $27 product: Click here to download… (14MB zip file) |

Next, this is the 2nd annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!
We did it last year and it was fun so we’re doing it again…
UPDATE: The contest is now over. Thank you to all who participated! We had approximately 675 comments during the contest.
How the winner was chosen: As stated at the beginning of the contest, it would be random this time (Last year I had such a hard time picking the best comments!). So I took the total # of comments before the deadline, and went to Random.org and generated a number between 1 and that number. Then I counted down from the top of the comments until I reached that number.
The winner will receive the website that I created in this demo video: Site Profit Bot demo
| And the winner is…
Nadiya, who posted this comment: “Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Eric. I have everything to be thankful for – with all the trials and tribulations that comes with life – I have family that is always there for me and we always find a way to try and make the best of it – always with the thought that there are people that have less than us and so the gratitude is always there. And Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and the free gift – Just what I needed!” Congratulations Nadiya! |
OK, lastly…
Here is some stuff for you to check out while you’re laying on the couch digesting turkey this afternoon…

Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!
Eric,
Relative to you and the internet, “Eric’s Tips” is one of the things I’m thankful for, because of the clear consise, no-nonsense advice. Thanks Eric. Just saw your video on Site Profit Bot software. Looks interesting and I have a few questions. I have to be cautious because I’m a Senior Citizen on Social Security, so I can’t afford to waste money. I enjoy all your informative emails very much. I may be a little biased because I have a son named Eric (23 years old), and you remind me of him. Anyhow, unlike most of your readers I’m not looking to rule the universe, I’m looking to try and create something which would get me $60-$75 per day on a predictable basis. That would allow me to have medical insurance and basically change my life for the better.
On to the questions. First, in your opinion do you think this software can help me get to where I’m trying to go? What type of sites does it create, HTML I think or WordPress or what. Next, can you use other templates or must it be one of their three (kind of limiting)? How friendly is it to tweak SEO (meta tags, H1 and H2 headers etc) to get free traffic? Are the training videos any good, I really didn’t care much for the gal in the videos. I found her volume low and a little difficult to understand. I have hosting (5C class) at SEO Hostgator. Can these sites be easily added up to be an “add on domain” (I get confused doing this stuff…tough to teach an old dog new tricks I guess. Lastly if all is good, any chance you will be making any videos on the detail of how to use the program?
Please keep up the great work Eric, you’re stuff is great and understandable.
I await your reply. Thanks…
Your “senior” fan
Jim
Hi Eric,
I want to buy your siteprofitbot but have a question:
Can I use my own hosting company to host the sites? I do not use hostgator, will it be a problem?
Regards
Mandy
Eric,
I, too, following your recommendation purchased Site Profit Bot. I believe it is a good piece of software, but to my disappointment, the quality is tarnished by the poor quality of the video tutorial and [with all due respect] the voice of the narrator which lacks the energy.
I guess I will have to depend more on their pdf documents [which is rather unfortunate], because I have a tendency to absorb learning through visual examples faster.
Still, there are many things to be thankful, especially to your faithful e-mails and great tips that you have been providing so far.
Thank you so much for everything that you have shared throughout these years.
W. Widodo –
Thanks Jim. To answer your questions…
The software may or may not help you get closer to your business goals. As I often say, there is no magic bullet. You need to have a business plan, and if building these type of sites is a part of your plan then yes the software could help you get there.
It creates dynamic sites… PHP mainly.
I’m not sure about tweaking meta-tags… it seems to be automatically generated.
The training videos are not great, but I didn’t need training videos. There is a PDF user manual.
I would assume you could use them on an addon domain. I think you would basically upload it into a subdirectory of the main domain. But I personally don’t use addon domains, because you can host unlimited domains by themselves on a reseller account, and I don’t worry much about the 5C.
I will probably not be making more videos of how to use it… but maybe I would if there was enough demand for it.
Yes you can use your own hosting as long as they’re up to date with PHP and mod_rewrite.
Well I guess not everyone can make videos like me :-O
I found the program easy enough to use that I didn’t need the video tutorial. And hey you can always watch my demo video 😉
Eric, I missed your brief video tutorial and skipped right to the Site Profit Bot. I wish I had not skipped that part. It is so much clearer and easier both in my eyes and my ears. JP should have hired you to do the video tutorial!
How about posting more of video tuts for this piece of software? Again, another reason to thank God for sending you among us. Thanks a lot.
Thanks… well I suppose I’ll consider making an extra video or two to give more of an in-depth tutorial. I’ll mull it over…
I’m thankful for my family, and for this country.
Thanks Eric, but may I know what is mod_rewrite? What is that for?
I am thankfull for the health of my family and the blessing from god.
Hi Eric,

This Thanksgiving Day, let’s remember what we truly have to be thankful for. Let’s take a good, hard look around us and realize that while we may not have everything we want, what we want is not always what we need.
I’m thankful for everything that has happened in my life this year, both good and bad. Each experience has helped to shape me.
I am thankful to have my health.
I am thankful just to have options and try to make use of them.
Thanks for the free stuff Eric. I had signed on with someone to pay 497 to learn something like this and disenrolled….I then found you. Thanks again for everything. You are a good instructor
I’m thankful for getting accepted in the Theology faculty and having thus started my studies at Helsinki University. Just imaginge the joy of learning Koinee Greek and being able to read NT in it’s original language 🙂
Hi Eric
I’m thankful to God for the addition of our baby girl, Sherlyn who arrived early this year.
She will turn 1 year old in Jan 10. 🙂
I am thankful, that I am able to wake up in the morings breathing and able to look forward to a great new day. I am thankful that everyday I live I am able to take a step further towards my goals in life.
I thanks the Lord for the mercy that he has shown on me and for his mercy in the future
Happy Thanks Giving and thank you so much for the helpful tips
I am thankful to GOD really for helping me out in some serious and uncertain stages of my live and then my family to always being there.
I’m thankful for all the love & happiness in my life.
I am thankful for the knowledge I have acquired and the desire to work strictly for myself, taking my life into my own hands.
Thanks Eric for great info and your time,
you are real man.
Tried to buy * Site Profit Bot * but there is only Paypal option, sad for me.
I am net teacher also as you, teaching in my native serbian language.
Hm, one profit center – your giveaway can be GOOD for me. If I am lucky man 🙂
Happy 10xgiving Day man, God bless you

Despite a significant drop in income, I’m thankful that my wife and I are able continue doing what we love for a living.
I am thankful for my family.
I appreciate your emails also. Peace to all!
Eric,
I’m thankful for serendipity. I found your site recently and have been viewing your tutorials. I’ve found that much of what you have shared can be applied to most kids of businesses on the web from buying and selling domains to creating web applications.
The serendipity part is that I just got laid off from a company that I helped build from nothing to $100 million in yearly revenue. I’m looking forward to competing against them in my own business. Your advice will certainly help!
Eric
I am thankful for your honesty. I know when I read your recommendations, that they are real and not just written to sell shabby products.
I am also extremely thankful that I became educated about internet businesses. My son was trapped in the mortgage business and was frustrated constantly. I was able to offer him a way out by creating a business where we market for local businesses. Nothing can be as rewarding as helping your son break into a new career.
Eric,
I thank you for being Christ Conscious. You exemplify the life and teachings of Christ. YOU have seen and have chosen a life of unconditional love for yourself first, and then to your family and all others. For this I am happy for you and send you many blessings of continued awareness of the True Nature of LIFE.
I always enjoy reading your tips Eric, they are informative, helpful, unbiased and most important – not full of hype!
What I am most thankful for this yearhas nothing to do with the internet or making money. Last Christmas my son and daughter died suddenly and unexpectedly and although I am still greiving them badly, I am thankful for the time I had with them, the happy memories I have of being with them and the hopes I have that one day we will be together again.
Wishing you and your family all the best – cherish them while you have them,
Marilyn
Hi Eric
Ijust wanted you to know that I have not yet developed a web site. But I do read every news letter when I am ready I am sure I will have a very successful site thanks.
Joe
Thanks Eric for all of your help!! God bless you, your family and friends. Bob
Eric,
This is the time of year where everyone says a prayer of thanks and gives the joy of giving. I myself thank the Lord every day for the gift that he has given me. I pass on his gift of giving all year round.
Obviously I am thankful for all the fantastic advice you give me everyday. It saves me so much time. The extra time allows me to go to watch my 3 grand kids play on six sport teams.
I am also thanful that our family is healthy, and because of you we are moving toward being wealthy.
I am truly Thankful for the Miracle I was privileged to witness last week.
I saw a dear friend of mine who was dying and on a ventilator, go from that state to a regular hospital room the next day. And is going home today.
All after the fervent passionate and faithful prayers of Believers.
Ain’t God Good!
Hi Eric
For me being thankful is an important part of every day – its more than just being thankful on a “special day” – its part of my life – integrated so that every time something happens in my life & business I am always thankful – even if it appears to be a difficult time.
I am also thankful for people like yourself who “give back” – I believe in the pay it forward method of life and appreciate you and all the other comment contributors for sharing their lives with us.
Hi Eric,
I am thankful for many things but mostly I am thankful that my son is well, that my family is together & stronger then ever and that I have finally took the plunge to start my business.
Thanks to guys like you.. 🙂
Cheers,

hi eric
thank you for your email
and iam waiting another
What am I not thankful would be a better question, because that list is of no importance. I am thankful for every breath I take and family friends. I can not began to even say what I am thankful for in one post.
I am a nurse and see so many that are not doing as good as me. I have a patient who is a kid well 22, he fell off a roof three years ago and was paralyzed from the waist down. He is my greatest joy, He has such a great personality and when I think of ones like this that just keep there heads high, it gives me hope.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and have a great and fullfilling holiday.
Eric, I am thankful to God not for any other thing but that I am alive to see this day.
I have been on the internet for about 2years now trying to find my feet on it and its money generating systems, though I have not really achieved anything, but I am thankful that I came across Someone like Eric. I am really appreciating the whole deal and I bet you, come next year with what I have learnt from Eric, the sky will only be my stepping stone.
Thanks Eric for been there.
Hi Eric.
I am thankful for having the opportunity to live in this great country and be able to share my life with a wonderful, loving family. Thank you for the incredible amount of information you share with us freely.
All the best !
Hi, Eric,
Many happy returns to you as well! Your blog has provided many hours of good education…Thanks!
Just out of curiosity: who would you say influenced you the most as you started down the online marketing path?
Eric,
I have to say I am thankful for family, friends and the lifestyle I enjoy.
I am also thankful for the time I saved since I got your Push Button Marketer program.
Thanks also for the marketing tips and the Site Profit Bot video, looks like a must!
Regards to all, and happy holidays,
George
Hi Eric,
I too bought Site Profit Bot – just finished downloading it. I took the 30 day trial for the advertising modules but not sure if it’s worth the $47/month price. What are your thoughts.
I’ll also make videos and post them to my blog. It looks like a good program so far.
Eric I’m thankful for many things this year and Eric’s Tips is definitley one of them. I love your lessons and appreciate your honest style.
I’ve learned a lot this year and can see that my online business will make money next year.
I just need to start being more focused make a plan and follow it. I should go back to your early videos where you talk about that.
Thanks again Eric and Happy Thankgiving to you and your family

Eric.
I have been getting your tips for over a year now and am so grateful that you have provided me with the courage to keep pushing ahead. Had to retire over a year ago with a massive heart attack and have been trying desperately to build an online business with no success. I’m still trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. I’m hoping one day I’ll have the funds to but what I need to build a web-site and pay for the training to be a successful online marketer. Again, I’m so thankful for all the information I’ve gotten from you. God bless…………Warren
Thanks Eric. This is really cool. I love the way that you have moved the free line with your brand. Thanks for the DL. Gobble Gobble!

I am so very thankful for my family, my boyfriend, and for God. I have learned a lot over the years and am thankful for the things God has shown me. I am trusting Him for my dreams. I have struggled, but I have become strong because of that.
