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…

I am thankful for a sovereign God who is accomplishing His purpose and allows us to be a part of it.
My brother has been supporting Pastor Luke from Zambia for many years. Earlier this year my brother asked me to make a website for Luke and the ministry there. (Communication was challenging but I put up a website.)
When my brother found out Pastor Luke was in Atlanta a few weeks trying to raise support, he bought an airline ticket so Luke could spend Thanksgiving with my family in Pittsburgh.
What a blessing to meet Luke, to hear about the work the Lord is doing in Zambia and to hear the vision the Lord has laid on his heart.
Spending Thanksgiving with my family has always been a blessing but this year the Lord provided an additional blessing.
I am very thankful!

I’m so thankful that I have lived this long and that I came to new friends in this year. I have learned a lot of new things and look forward to put them into good use in the coming years of my life. Praise God!!!!
I’m thankful to be alive and well in this economy. I have great sympathy for those not so fortunate as myself.
Your Thanksgiving sentiments ring very true for me.
And…All this in spite of the fact that I do not live in the USA
I’m thankful that I live in a country and at a time in history which allows me to do ANYTHING I want.
The last year or so has been personally horrible for me, financially speaking, but I am at the point in my life where I’m ready to take that Leap of Faith, and try something different. With your guidance and motivation, hopefully I’ll be a success. I now have to take that first step…maybe this was it!!
Happy Holidays All!!
I’m thankful, because God meet me with someone who has very positive attitude. He know my condition and keep telling to focus on self development. I really thankful for that.
Hi Eric,
I am thankful for reading the E-book of Eric Holmlund: ‘How to sell hosting for a profit’ because now I run my own hosting company beside my day job, I know all about hosting, I learned a lot about making websites(see the one in this post, I made it myself), I make websites for others for a profit, it brought me a lot of good things, the hosting company is paying for itself and in the coming months I will even get profit out of it 🙂 I bought a boat this year(Bayliner 2252, great boats!) and the leads for the coming year is looking good!
For all the above I am very thankful and if it wasn’t for Eric, I couldn’t have dfone all of these things.
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Erik.
I agree that this software is fantastic.i surely want to get one but looks like they only use paypal and i cant use paypal from my country. Can any one offer help or suggetions?
Thanks for your consistent advice and sound Christian honesty.
Hey Eric,
First, thanks for all the information you provide. WOW, what a way to make a living! Honestly helping others who are trying to create their own web enterprises and making money for your efforts. God is Good! I have been studying your videos for over a year now and have found your information very useful in creating many of the websites I currently operate.
I live in a state of thankfulness every day for all that my Lord provides for my family and me. I’m even thankful for the mistakes that I’ve made in my life. Even though painful, I am grateful for the lessons learned because of them.
Wishing you, your family and all of your subscribers a wonderful and blessed Christmas season.
I am thanful for my life with all the good and bad and being able to share the good and bad so others may benefit from both examples.
God Bless
Cordial Saludo Eric
Agradezco a Eric por toda la informacion de gran valor y calidad que he recibido en el transcurso de este año.
He aprendido mucho acerca de la ComercializaciĂłn por Internet por esto recomiendo favorablemente que vean sus videos.
Todavia no tengo un sitio web por la falta de recursos economicos pero espero lograrlo pronto
Gracias por ayudar con sus consejos a personas como yo y que los proximos años sigan siendo de Exito y Prosperidad
Hi everyone,
I’m very thankful for everything God has given me. For my family,friends, my life, for knowing about eric, and everything else. Praise God!
Thanksgiving and Mothers
Remembering my Mom this year and how thankful I am to have had such a wonderful lady to have called Mom. Remembering the truths she taught me, the work ethics and about life.
Mom Passed away 3 years ago and left a huge hole in my life. She was my confidant and friend. As time has passed I am thankful that the hole has bee filling with loving memories and fond thoughts of her and her life here.
She was always an inspriation to me With her warm smile and willingness to befriend anyone who needed a friend or shoulder to lean on.
So here’s to Mom and those like her, who teach and grow into the people we are today.
I am thankful for being able to help the homeless people in atlanta. I am thankful that the Lord has given me a mind with the greatest gift of all.
Freedom of thought and belief.
I am thankful that God has reached out and touched my heart. I have always considered myself to be a good man, a considerate man, a caring man. However, it wasn’t until I learned the true meaning of humility that I was able to fully accept the Lord as my only savior. There is now an unequivocal peace and calmness that comes from this awe invoking sense of gratitude. I am very much imperfect, but I am a better father, a better husband, a better man for deepening my relationship with God.
My sincerest thanks goes out to you Eric for everything you do. You are a blessing to many.
I am thankful that my name is in the “Lamb’s Book of Life”!!! (everything else is bonus)
Jason
Thanks for the generosity, Eric.
I’m thankful for…
1. A God who loves me unconditionally.
2. A family that I love dearly and have been blessed with.
3. Too many other things, the which don’t begin to compare with the above.

Hi Eric,
I was impressed with the quick setup of webpage using the Site Profit Bot. Like the example you used of the “Jewelery”, all those attaching ads, are they automatically linked as Affiliate products ?

Dear Erik,
I want to thank God for your tips. From your e-book ‘How to Sell Web Hosting for a Profit’ I made 1000 US Dollars already. God bless you richly for doing His Work. Thank you brother.

Hi Eric,
I am located in Malaysia and internet marketing is very new to me. I am very thankful and thank God this year that I have found your website Eric’s Tips which is very different from the Gurus. I like your style of teaching, simple and what you see what you get. This contest will be very important to me because I don’t have a good website yet and I never made $1 from the internet yet.
I am thankful for my god, family and friends, good health and to be able to continue being self-employed. I am also thankful for “Eric’s Tips”. (“Eric’s Tips” helps to keep me motivated and focused on my goals. The email updates are great! Thanks Eric!)
Eric, thanks for this opportunity to express my gratitude to God for my husband.
To some, this may seem a bit mundane.
Obviously, I do not think so.
To set the stage, I’m totally blind since age two, and my husband is sighted.
Ironically, he has a lifelong hearing loss, and recently is being treated for the very beginning stages of glaucoma which is a somewhat common eye disease that often times goes undiagnosed.
However, he’s the true hero in this story because of his utter devotion and strong support to me, and to our 22 year old marriage.
Now you must try to discard all the typical stereotypes that come to mind about blindness because if you were to meet me, and you were open minded, absolutely none of those images would match who I am.
Interestingly, both my husband and I do not come from the place of “victim”.
Victimhood is the exact opposite of gratitude and thankfulness.
Is life sometimes hard to take?
Can life’s challenges be brutal, horribly unfair and hard to accept?
Absolutely! Just read the news if you can’t see any challenges at home…
Life is rough on all of us.
Yet, God’s blessings are abundant and all around us if we open our eyes and appreciate what we have, especially here in the United States…
We both grew up in challenging family situations, and came together to support one another, and as a couple, to create a glorious life.
I’ve engaged in many different careers, but in the last 3 years or so I’ve launched in to a full-blown entrepreneur both on and off line.
Off line my husband and I are RE investors and private money lenders, and online I have websites focused on fitness, and RE investors.
The website side of things is the most rewarding because of the potential to touch so many lives and offer great value.
As a blind person, I have access to specialized technology to access the internet and other computer applications, but I certainly rely on others to perform many of the technical aspects of a web business.
Of course, my husband supports me in all these endeavors as well as holding down a full time job, acting as my assistant.
For example, as I write this, I’m preparing his breakfast, while he helps by putting the finishing touches on the dessert we’re taking to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving.
I truly cannot be the successful person I am in business, or in our personal life without him..
He is truly sent from God.
Happy Thanksgiving to you. I am watching your ebay auctions, and hoping to win on one of them!
olymon
Thankful for being alive!
Dear Eric.
I grateful I found you during the Internet Millionaire days with Joel Comm. You have great advice always, and most honest in my opinion. I tried downloading this SiteProfitBot, but it is only for Windows. I use a Mac and am very grateful for that! But, many times software is not compatible. I am grateful for my health and family and friends, of course. And grateful to have the opportunity to succeed online, soon.
With Gratitude,
Susanna Jade
Eric, I thank God for:
The many blessing I have received throughout the years. I was blessed to spend Thanksgiven day with BOTH of my parents. At my age and theirs that along was truly a blessing. I am blessed with good health, family and friends. The ability to help others when God presents the opportunity. To be a man of God and to know he truly loves me and is blessing me every day. Just to be able to make the right choises not only to better my life but others I come in contact with. I am blessed with the opportunity of this business as a stepping stone to reach out and help others. Thank you Eric for sharing. U are truly a man on a mission for God.
Hi Eric!
Im truely gratefull for the wonderful things I have learned this year. My life has turned around since the last Thanksgiving but in a very positive and wonderful way. I feel truelly happy and blessed and expecting only greatness in the year to come as well. I have to say I am gratefull to have a wonderfull boyfriend who loves me unconditionally,a family who supports me, my dear friends, health and above all FAITH.
And thank you Eric for sharing your success and knoledge with us. I am more than thankfull for that.
All the best,
Mirela
Thank you
Hi Eric,
Although it has been a tough year for me along with alot of other folks, I still have alot to be thankful for. Anyways, I am mostly thankful for great, positive, God centered people like yourself who provide something of value that makes others better in some way, whether it be on the internet or any other form. In these troubled times we definitely could use more of this to make the world a better place. I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving Day and continue to receive many blessings. Looking forward to the rest of the lessons. Okay, that’s my 5 cent for now.
Many Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Peace 🙂

The PHP files can only be viewed on a website. You need to upload the themes into the wp-content/themes directory of your wordpress site.
I am really thankful to share my life with my beloved wife and two wonderful little boys. They make my life complete
I was just as curious what mod_rewrite was and what to ask the hosting sources if it was included in their plan. This is some of the information I was able to come up with. Hope it helps.

[edit] Web frameworks
Many web frameworks include URL rewriting, either directly or through extension modules.
Apache HTTP Server has URL rewriting provided by the mod_rewrite module
URL Rewrite is available as an extension to Microsoft IIS [2]
Ruby on Rails has built-in URL rewriting via Routes[3]
Java Server Faces has URL rewriting via the PrettyFaces: URL rewriting extension for JSF
Django uses a regular-expressions based system[4]
Java Stripes Framework has had integrated functionality since version 1.5[5]
Many Perl frameworks have this feature[citation needed]
From a software development perspective, URL rewriting can aid in code modularization and control flow [6], making it a useful feature of modern web frameworks.

Note: Unlike Apache, entering rewrite rules in an .htaccess file will not work. They must be entered in Zeus’ proprietary Request Rewrite scripting language through the zeus server’s admin panel, which creates a rewrite.script file and installs it into the server. Unless you have access to the main server administration interface, you will need to ask your hosting provider to implement your rule.

UrlRewriteFilter (open source – BSD) – allows you to rewrite URLs before they get to your code. Supports XML or mod_rewrite style config.

About a week ago a friend came around for a chat and told me about your site, Eric. “John” he said, “Over the past two years you and I havs bought a ton of stuff on line. I honestly believe if you and I had started with Eric’s free tips from day one, we not only would be making money just by following Eric’s free step-by-step advice, but, we would have saved ourselves time and an enormous amount of money as well:
Wow!
And, Eric, I am most thankful for three things:
1. Your free tips on getting started and making money on line.
2. The fact that it’s never too late to learn and that each new day I learn something new and useful.
3. I thank God for genuinely helpful guys like you and, despite the recession, I am wildly ethusiastic about all of the money-making opportunities that are abundantlt available right bow in Internet Marketing.
I am eagerly looking forward to being thrilled and delighted with your fortcoming tips and I say thank you in advancs from the bottom of my heart.

What I have to be so thankful for is my life, being alive at this amazing time in the world, my own aliveness and the unique script of my own life as it plays out and all the choices I have to make myself, my life and the world better because I am alive today. I’m so grateful to be alive!!!

Hi Eric, Happy Thanksgiving from Spain. It has been a really tough year for my family & I but I am really thankful that we have 3 great kids that are understanding beyond their age and a strong loving relationship that is getting us through these difficult times. With your help I hope next year will be a lot, lot better.
To be thankful to being alive and to still have my family by my side and to thank the lord for protecting all of us.
Eric, I am thankful for:
1) For being Blessed by God in so many ways.
2) The personal growth I have had this year.
3) My wonderful family and friends.
4) A special friendship that I hope develops into a wonderful marriage.
5) The opportunities the internet has to offer and the knowledge you have shared to help people be successful.

Eric,
I appreciate your servant mindset with Eric’s Tips. You’ve done a great job and I’m greatly thankful for it. I took the liberty to peruse many of the comments above and found them to be inspiring, sometimes heartbreaking but all of them appreciative.
Isaiah 32:8 says “A generous (noble) man devises generous things, and by generosity he shall stand.”
I believe this verse describes you in many ways and you will see even greater opportunity for generosity in the near future.
God’s blessings to you.
One question about the Site Bot software…, Would the sites that are created be considered to be Datafeed sites?
Thanks,
