Happy Thanksgiving 2009

By | November 26, 2009

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:

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!

    I’m thankful for all God has given me: For my family, and the close relationship we have. For more than I need. For the 40hr a week job I have. For the chance to learn how to build an internet business of my own to someday make my only job and source of income. Thanks Eric for all the invaluable information on Eric’s Tips!

    I’m thankful for my family Teresa and the other’s in my life specially my up line John Stevenson and Luke Pennucci they have my the biggest inspiration in my life I have never seen anything like them they call me to see how I am doing without asking about the Business just to talk. I don’t really care if I win the website I just wanted to show my love for the one’s in my life.

    There is so much to be thankful for its is hard to choose just one. It was not to hard to choose the most important one to be thankful for. I thank GOD for his gift of life he gave us through his sacrifice of his son JESUS CHRIST.

    I am thankful for all those more experienced people who help newbies start their own businesses, giving them hope and power over their own lives. I have been bullied, harrassed and now dismissed from the career I love due to my diabetes. I am thankful with the help of generous people like you I can try and rebuild my career, life, income and self-esteem.

    I am thankful for my health and that my company is getting off the ground.

    There is a lot to learn in the beginning of an IM business, but your tips have helped a lot.

    Thank you.

    I am thankful I can exercise free will and live life how I choose – something we often take for granted – something that far too many people do not have at all (especially all the oppressed women in the middle east). Thanks to all the troops who keep our freedoms alive!

    Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and yours Eric.

    I’m thankful that Mike Liebner directed me to your site some time ago.

    I ALWAYS OPEN YOUR E-MAILS!!!

    I trust any recommendations that you make because you do not take this responsibility lightly.

    Keep up the great work.

    Do some extra video tutorials while you are sitting around after eating a little turkey and a lot of stuffing watching the “Cowboys” kick a little behind.
    Seriously I get 50 -60 emails a day from a bunch of wanna-be’s and I can say I have never deleted one of your emails with out reading them. By far the best and I am thankful for your honesty.

    Hi Eric
    Happy holidays to you and your family.
    Its a lovely sunny day here in Spain as is most days, we have our health, food, loved ones and faith.
    Should the one in a million ticket come out for me in your lucky website draw, enter it back into a simple auction on your site with all the money raised going to your Belize Christian Project.
    As I think many of us have far tooooo much stuff anyway, so its good to see the smiles of the kids etc in your photos.

    Keep up the great work.

    All the very best from sunny Spain.
    God Bless

    Happy Thanksgiving, Eric (and the rest reading these)!
    Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays of the year. It is a time for family and, of course, feasting. I don’t do as much of the latter as I used to so I am thankful for the 50+ lbs. I have lost since last Thanksgiving!
    I, too, appreciate you and your web site. I have shared it with many Internet Marketing want-to-be’s. (I wish there was an easier way to find Tip #1 and then for the user to go through them sequentially.)
    Have a blessed day!

    Hi Eric, thanks for giving us a chance to share what we are thankful for, especially this time of year. Although we celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving last month, I still enjoy celebrating with my American friends, even if it is on the sidelines. 🙂

    I’m very thankful for my health, good friends, wonderful family, beautiful grandchildren, the succes in my business and several little furry “kids” who give an abundance of love.

    What I am really thankful and grateful for is the health of our youngest granchild who was born prematurely last October (’09). He only weighed 1 lb. 10 oz when he was born but he’s a little fighter and survived the odds. We recently celebrated his first birthday. Because of his will power, determination and strength, we are thankful for every day with him.

    Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

    I’m very thankful for having reached the big 6-0, thankful for having reasonably good health, and thankful for genuine people like Eric in giving me inspiration to try internet marketing at my age. It makes me feel 16 again, although the brain might need a bit of oiling!

    I’m thankful for Eric’s tips. It is hard to find reliable information on the web on internet marketing that doesn’t have some form of hook. Many people who spam my email claim to have my best interest in mind but in reality they just want to sell me something and much of it is junk. “Secrets sold” are often outdated tools that no longer work. Eric gives good advice for free and that is hard to find.

    While I am at it. I am thankful for my family, husband, 4 kids and God’s incredible blessings of food, a home, health and lots of good friends. God is good!

    First thanks go to you for giving me these invaluable lessons. Thank you. Also my thanks are going to my wife who is also my very best friend. A word of thanks to the surgeons who repaired my heart, and made life worth living again. By no means last, all the people who have touched our lives, but don’t know what a difference they have made to them. Thank you all. Mike.

    Hi Eric,

    I am thankful that I live in North America where there is freedom of choice and wonderful opportunity. As well, I was happy to be able to sponsor a child for 11 years. Also it is beneficial when visiting 3rd World Countries to be able to bring gifts to share. I am grateful that I can do this and much more.

    Thanks Eric,
    The information that you have provided in Erics Tips has allowed me to get a site up.
    As of yet I have had no response to see that anyone I have told about it has even checked it out. I am thankful that I have not had to spend the money that I need for bills cause I have been out of work for over a month. I would have regretted spending the money because I have seen no return as of yet. I put a domain name in a parking lot, then created my site on Google and forwarded the connection from my nameserver. All I need is to market my site name and hope someone sees the value in my product that I do. Grateful is the word for the day. I am alive and have hope. Everything that is growing is in a constant state of change.

    Happy Thanksgiving Eric!

    Besides life in general and the blessing
    to be alive and well this day..
    I’m just so thankful that regardless of the
    Current state of our economy there are people
    Such as yourself who give great hope
    And opportunity to those who are hurting
    And feeling the crushing backlash of
    It all! Thankyou and God Bless you and yours.

    Thanksgiving day. I know about it, but being a Norwegian, living in Thailand I am not very familiar with it.
    So, first of all I will thank for my beautiful and good wife and friend and companion that I married in July this year
    Then, of course: This site and the way you are running it; Thank You
    Then I am thankful for the gifts your are giving away, but mostly for being the kind of person you are: Thank You!

    Eric,

    This is the first time I’ve made a comment about your “Eric’s Tips”. I am very impressed with the patience you demonstrate in going methodically through the course material. I haven’t taken advantage of the course yet as I have hade other issues on my plate but expect to follow your advice soon.

    As to what I am thankful for, I am thankful for my family, that I live in America which despite efforts by extreme liberals is substatially free, and for a loving God who shares his blessings among us.

    Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

    In recent days (months really), I have really become thankful for the relationships I have. Amidst all the bad news around us, there are the precious gifts of family and friends.
    Some people are able to buy everything they want when they want it; others struggle to even buy the necessities. But across the financial strata, we all share a common thing: relationships!!
    May we all become more proactive, more than content – may we become thankful for those who are part of our lives.
    Be blessed, everyone, in your thanksgiving!!

    Thankful for a beautiful, understanding wife.

    I was a supervisor at my job. A worker on another shift said that I would look good with a bullet hole in my head. Tried for 2 months to get the company to take a comment like that seriously, including filing a police report. The police could not do anything because the guy had not said it to me directly. He had told others that I would look good with a bullet hole in my head and that he may just take a ball bat to my knees. The company only talked to the guy and took no real disciplinary actions.

    My wife did not want me to go in at all after she heard what was said but we have to pay bills. With no college, the job market is not great for a 51 year old Vet. Gave up that $70,000 a year job in June and have been on unemployment since then. No real opportunities for me at this time. wife is retired and on SS. We will be moving from Illinois to Huntsville, AL after the first of the year.

    We have been together since ’95, second marriage for both. Through all the tough times she has kept me going. Got me to give up alcohol in ’95, cigarrettes in ’96, gambling in ’97 (yes, I had a ton of problems when she met me). Thought this was THE job that would provide the retirement income we will need. We will struggle but I know she will stay by my side.

    Thank the Lord for my wife and thank you, Eric, for allowing me to share.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all and God Bless America and our Troops around the world.

    Eric,

    Seriously, YOU are the most real life internet marketer out there. I can tell in every email that you send that you really care about your readers. You’re not here trying to sell us everything that comes down the trail. And I too want to thank you for giving me the heads up about Site Profit Bot – looks like an awesome product to do exactly what I’ve been needing lately.

    I don’t know too many IM’s that would dedicate as much time as you have over the last year in your training tutorials for up and coming internet marketers. You have really led us by the hand step by step, with not only videos but written materials as well. You seem to really GET IT, and what we are all about.

    Thanks most of all for sharing yourself, your family, and your relationship with God in your writings.

    And most of all I am thankful for my family and this country. Happy Thanksgiving all!
