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!

    Eric, Happy Thanksgiving thanks for all your help.

    I am so thankful for the fact that I was so blessed to be born into the good old USA at
    Big Rapids, Michigan.

    Even though our country is going through some adversity it is still the best country in the world. It is really the light on a hill.

    I am a senior and I still get choked up when I see our stars and stripes and sing My Country Tis of Thee.

    God bless our great nation and all its citizens on this great day of giving thanks for what we have and who we are. And also
    God Bless our military as they fight to keep us free.

    Thanks for being able to share my thoughts.

    As a non-American I am not to familiar as to what Thanksgiving really signifies and all the reasons behind it. Actually it seems that the few Americans that I know are not so sure themselves. I don’t know if this is common or not! What I do know for sure is that we all need to take a moment to stop reflect and give thanks. Each of as for what is relevant to us. So lets all do that now.
    Thanks

    Hi Eric,

    On this Thanksgiving Day 2009 I am thankful for mine and my families health. Its been a long and tough year but things are slowly improving. My sons are both home for the week and its great to be able to share a meal together like when they were little and we would all sit around the table.
    I hope everyone takes a moment today and gives thanks for all the good things that have happened throughout the year.
    I would also like to thank you for all your great tips.

    Thanks Eric. It is great to hear from a sincere Christian.and your family. We have become familiar with Colorado,i.e.
    on TV (Dr.Quinn). My area is Toronto,Ontario.
    My family thanks God daily,taking nothing for granted.
    *I am an ardent follower of your lessons.& messages. However I still have not found time to setup a website,(due to a financial circumstance). I am impressed by your success.
    There should be no excuses from myself,since computer,& internet experience dates back to Windows 3. I am taking your advice to start as an affiliate,then progress to selling my own info products via Adsense,(hopefully). Are you really serious about quitting the work you have built? Have a happy day. Regards, Doug

    Hi Eric,
    All I can say right now is Thank You for sharing your TALENT with all of us. As a new Internet Marketer I have realized that you are one of the FEW mentors that not only give us good information but you show us how to apply the information. I really believe that in 2010 God is going to bless you with more business ideas, peace, prosperity, and freedom, so you can spend more time with your family. Take care and Happy Thanksgiving!!

    Hi Eric,

    I am thankful that my 19 year old single parent daughter is back on track with goals for her future and is heading back to her university studies. For the tough decisions she made this year, and that we will get to hang out with our 6 month old grandson this Thanksgiving Day instead of him being part of some other family through adoption. She made the right decision.

    hi Eric at first i didn’t really pay attention to the useful information you were sending me every couple of days but then i was struggling to build my website so i took a look at the videos you were bringing. I have to say they were very helpful! I’m not just saying that so i can get a free website, im sayin that because it really is helpful! I know this because i have bought my fair share of digial products online about how to make money on the net and comparing your information with the products i came across, i have to say you broke it down in better useful details than all of them. Especially for a person like me who is just starting to get into the internet marketing, i can actually follow it step by step with less confusion and more production in real time!
    Other products just assume i already know the steps i needed to take so they go straight to THEIR point which leaves me stuck looking for other sources to catch up but with your info, it pretty much covers everything I need to know in order to go to the next step. So again i like to take this opportunity to say thank you for providing such useful information that you have been, it means a lot to a person like me who values time very much and appreciate the fact that someone like you is willing to spend their own time in actually caring about the viewers education! Cheers Bro and happy Thanks Giving!! Jimmy

    I’m thankful to God who gave you to be wise in this business and honest in your dealings with us folks. It is nice to be in a more relaxed and confident mode – not in a ‘where am I getting scammed’ mode – in reading your materials. Would that more people were mindful of God, as you are. Great job.

    I am thankful for my family and friends who make life wonderful and worth living.
    I am thankful for my health and well-being (which many of us take for granted).

    And lastly, I am thankful for all the gurus out there in internetland who admittedly accept my money, but more importantly give me HOPE.

    Without hope the daily struggles and burdens of earning a living everyday would be so much greater to bear.

    Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

    Hi there Eric

    Wow, what a wonderful year it has been. I am a newbie in the internet marketing business. I received your mails and I surely learned so much.

    I am so grateful for every single day that the Lord gave me and my family. The blessings are so much. I don’t think we are grateful for the small things in life.

    I certainly believe that human beings are not satisfied with everything they have. We want more and bigger and actually are unhappy most of the time.

    We really need to realize that life is a gift and that the real blessings are the small things in life. And we often doesn’t acknowledge small blessings.

    I am thankful for every single day that me and my family was blessed with health. We are blessed with each other.

    Thank you Lord!!! You are awesome and wonderful. You take care of us every single moment of our life’s and we want to thank You. You protect us and love us! Thank You!!

    Thank YOU Eric!

    I am thankful, yes even grateful, for the LIFE that flows in and through me.

    I am Thankful for the Love I got to share with my wife of 25 years and who just passed away a little more than six months ago.

    I am equally thankful for ALL Love.

    I am thankful to our Creator Who created our Spirit, Soul and Body and the light, earth, water, air and seed without which not one of us could even exist.

    I am also thankful for the free, but not always easy to use, gifts of forgiveness, faith, imagination, free will, enthusiasm, strength, power, understanding, wisdom and transformation.

    I am thankful for the right and opportunity to worship my God freely and without fear.

    I am thankful to be able to participate in the noble experiment we call the USA.

    I am thankful for all my gracious teachers; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I Love you all!

    Thank You!

    I would like to say I am thankful that I can be with my family and friends for another year. I am also thankful for all of the wonderful people I have met in the online business who have taken the time to help me try to set up my business online. I have made much progress and though I am not there yet, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And that includes the help you have provided. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving where ever you are.

    Happy Thanksgiving Eric!

    What am I thankful for? So much really that it would take up the entire webpage! But, I would like to focus on one thing, in particular…
    I am thankful for receiving an answer to my prayers. I had asked for help with some painful experiences and it came like Niagara Falls! Now, I am working on pulling the roots so that there is more good fruit growing in my life.
    I am so thankful for all the people in my life, on-line and off, who share their hearts, their realities, with me.
    Thank you, Eric, for your perspective and for the much good you do in our community.
    Blessings to all.
    Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving,
    Nancy 🙂

    Hi Eric,
    A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
    I appreciate your thoughtful and clear advice, and your insight in choosing good products and services to promote.
    If I had not already bought Site Profit Pro from JP, I would buy from you, But I certainly agree with you. The great thing is it allows me to focus on selecting good niches and gets an effective site up quickly. I can tweak it or not, depending on how it performs.
    I am grateful for being here, and for my family, friends and mentors, and all the living beings.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Eric may the Lord Bless You for your efforts to be a REAL FATHER.

    The reply from your ‘Senior Fan, Jim’ could well be mine in many ways. At age 85, a WWII and Korean War Marine Combat Corpsman, it is a tough learning curve for me in respect to setting up website(s).

    I have sold books for over 60 years and published two, but still have on hand 8,000 other titles to list with literally thousands of vintage magazine and book art, illustrations, ads and articles to list so I need to work much faster than I am doing now.

    Would it be feasible (and simple enough) for me to use the Site Profit Bot to set up niches for my paper sales in those areas?

    To what address may I send you a small gift in appreciation for all you have done for so many people?

    Eric…..you are a God-send! What you impart is gold! The Bible talks about a man who waters others will himself be watered. Well…you are a man who invests in the lives of others and I know that that is the reason God breathes on what you do and why you are so successful. May you continue to advance His Kingdom as you walk out the dominion mandate (which you so clearly do)and mentor others in doing the same. I see so much of the principles laid out in Proverbs at work in your life and in how you conduct your business and I pray that God’s abundant blessings would OVERTAKE you! God bless you and your family Eric!

    Tips To Choose the Best Affiliate Internet Marketing

    Affiliate internet marketing is considered to be the safest and the easiest home based business opportunity. There are thousands of people who are engaged in this business and they are all making huge money out of it.

    Well, I know there are always the people who feel that the success stories on the internet are nothing, but fake! There are the ones who have actually encountered problems while doing an affiliate internet marketing business and have failed to win over them. Now, these people feel that everything in our life is the fruit of “No Labor”, but the successful people know that it is otherwise. Affiliate marketing or any other online business require efforts equivalent to what one has to put in any other traditional business. Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money over the internet. This has in fact been one of the oldest forms of business that has existed over the internet.

    The biggest mistake that one makes in an affiliate marketing business is the choice of the business opportunity. Yes, there are thousands of affiliate internet marketing businesses and it is obvious that one gets overwhelmed by their details. Even before getting into the details one ends up choosing the business opportunity and this is what spells doom fro their business. Let us look at some of the criteria for choosing the best affiliate internet marketing business:

    a) Choose the business whose products or services have demand: Yes, this is very important as products and services are the ultimate things that are sold. You have to look into the businesses whose products or services are in great demand. This is a very easy job as you have to conduct a normal market survey over the internet to find the products that are selling and the ones that are a dud.

    b) Revenue matter: Get to find out what the companies are providing to their affiliates. Now this holds a great significance in your choice because you cannot go and find out an affiliate internet marketing opportunity with poor payout history. Well, what can be better than searching on the internet? The internet search engines are the best place to search for the business opportunities that are high paying.

    c) Try to choose the business that suits your needs and interest: This is one thing that will help you to choose a business opportunity which you will love to conduct. Yes, I have often come across the people who carry out their affiliate business quite happily and successfully- they have chosen a business that they enjoy doing. The moot point is that you have to enjoy what you do and success will follow.

    d) Choose the business that has high marketing opportunities- The affiliate marketing business that offer high marketing opportunities are the ones that are to be chosen. You cannot flourish in an affiliate internet marketing business that has restricted marketing tools.

    The above mentioned tips are certainly going to help you choose the best affiliate internet marketing opportunity.

    I am thankful for my family first and foremost, but I am also thankful that there are people out there that are willing to teach and guide people without an expectation of anything in return such as Eric.

    I’m thankful that I have my daughter back. She was ill for five years and my wife never gave up. We traveled the entire east coast looking for answers(every known specialist you can think off) for five years with no results. Finally, 70 miles from our home we found a doctor who was able to get her back in a three week time period. It’s been 2 wonderful years. We are so fortunate.
