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!
I am thankful for so much. Even though I am still struggling myself to reach that pinnacle of success, I am grateful for the opportunity to help those less fortunate. One of my prospects turned out to be a man who really wants to supplement his meagre disability pension, or replace it and become independent of the state, but has no disposable income to spend to get that start. We have stayed in touch over the past months as I keep an eye open for an opportunity for him.
I have been looking for something that he could get started with where very little or no startup cost is required. Needless to say, I have not found it… until now.
Yes,Eric, I certainly could use a free website, as I’m sure many on your list can. However, I am better off than my new friend Sam and I will do fine. So my wish is to see something magical happen for Sam so that he can get that start he needs.
If you already have hosting, just test it or you can ask them if they have PHP 4.3 or higher, and mod_rewrite and CURL.
I use Camtasia, I talk about it here: http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson41/
Actually WordPress runs on PHP too. You could conceivably have a WordPress blog and a Sitebot site on the same domain.
I am thankful for good health, a business which is progressing slow but sure for the better, for my friends, and for the opportunity I see around even the gloomy view tries to hide them.
I am thankful that this year I am a different person vs. last year, and I have to thank Eric and his inspiring lessons for it! All the best Eric whatever new projects you will jump on. You are a winner, an excellent organized, a generous person, a loving father and husband and you deserve the best for you and yours.
All the best
Michaela
We are surrounded with a sea of opportunity. Unlike any other time in history, those who need, those who want, those who are ready to advance, all have push button opportunities to gain in every way.
There are a variety of teachers, products, services, many for free, such as Eric’s, but then with those introductions, we feel and know the source better before the buy. Smart marketing to be sure. Good material, solid support and a raft of excuse killers that makes you ashamed of any lack if you complain without having taken advantage of the variety available to you.
I’m thankful to the universe. I feel like I’m moving toward right direction since I stopped resisting or battling with circumstances. The universe is supporting us all. Thank you.
Hi, Eric Im very thankfull for your génerosity,and Ive been triying many time to have my own website and today thanks to you Ill be able to have one its so kind of you,all the best of luck to you with your businesses,,,,,,Denise Jean.
Hi Eric,
Happy Thanksgiving,
I am thankful to have found yesterday that my wife is 6 weeks pregnant with our first soon to be born with a healthy heartbeat. So I am very excited and greatful. I am also thankful for my family and friends and good health. You and your familty have a great safe Thanksgiving Holiday!
There is so much knowledge out there and sharing that with others is something to be grateful for. Thank you!
Ive only had this blog, but will sure appreciate the new website your giving me ,Thanks a million time,yours Kinddly.
Hi Eric. Great video on how to use SiteProfitBot. It really is an amazing software.
I am thankful for life and health. I lost my fiance a couple years ago in a car accident and it happened 15 minutes after leaving my side. It opened my eyes as to how fragile life is and that we should never take our loved ones and anyone for that matter for granted. Each day we should open our eyes and be thankful that we are alive and that our Creator through His Grace has given us another day in which to be all we can be. Once we have health and strength we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. If I was offered 2 choices; a billion dollars or perfect health and strength i would have to choose health and strength. With those 2 things i can go on to success. But without them having a billion and being in bad health or dying is like being stuck in the toilet with no toilet paper. 🙂
Hey Eric.I am thankful this year because I learned a lot about seo,marketing and what works online to make money blogging.I became a better blogger.Hope 210 to be a better year!
Happy Thanksgiving Eric. I enjoyed meeting you about a year ago in Vegas. I’m thankful for my health, my family, and the ability to enjoy life while I have it.
Leonard
After reading all the replies in here, I’m thankful that there are so many genuinely thankful people still out there.
It must be a great feeling to have all that gratitude and will surely increase your Karma.
Hi Eric,
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
I’m thankful for the blessings that God has given to us all. For my faith, my family and my freedom.
I’m also thankful to be able to read what other people are thankful for and for you giving us that opportunity.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Eric,
Even though 2009 has been one of the most challenging financialy I have much to be thankful for. I most thankful for my family. I have 5 children, 18 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. I guess that tells you i am a senior. God has been good to us.
I am soon going to retire. I refer often to your tips and advice as I begin trying to produce additional income to support our retirement.
Thanks Eric for the free gift today and thanks for being a trusting marketer.

Hi Eric,
I’m grateful for my health (I’ve been overcoming an eating disorder), my family and my business – and the business came about as a result of being made redundant – so thanks to my old company for giving me the kick I needed to start afresh!
I’m grateful for all the tough things that have happened to me, as I wouldn’t be the person I am now – even things like a messy divorce, depression, losing my job – they have all spurred me on to make amazing changes in my life and how I look at life, and how I treat others – and I thank my Higher Power for guiding me through smooth AND choppy waters 🙂
And I’m particularly grateful for my friends who have helped me through some wobbly moments – I am blessed to have you in my life – I am blessed in so many ways.
And Eric, thank YOU for asking us to pause and be grateful – too often we rush around and forget to look for the wonderful things we do have.
Peace…
Tracey
Eric,
Thank you for providing such valuable information and a very useful discussion forum!
You know that what the legitimate programs tell everyone and what you pretty much have been saying all along…don’t work a business unless you have a plan.
The best advice you can give anyone and I am glad that you emphasize it as much as you do.
Have a great and prosperous Thanksgiving holiday from my family to yours.
Hey Eric. I am thankful for Ohio State Football, America, freedom, those who have invested in my life, my friends, my family, my children -Hannah , Grace, Noah, Elijah, my wife Emily, and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am truly blessed and have much to be thankful for.
Hello Eric,
Happy Thanksgiving, [whatever that is] I’m in the u.k. and it looks ike you just have 2 xmas’s to us! Ha ha!

Hi Eric,
Happy Thanksgiving 2009….
You are so great of giving all these ideas to us. I am presently working in Dubai and starting to enter in internet marketing. I am receiving many email from different internet marketer, at first i confused which email i could read but when i open some of your tips, now i am repeating your lessons and focusing to all of ericstips lessons because i learn a lot.
I am thanking you so much and looking forward that soon i could be successful one like you.
Thank you so much.
i’m thankful for all the blessings that i’ve received this and every year
I am thankful for reading your email about this wonderful product that could finally put an end to the thousands of dollars I have spent trying to learn how to do what your software does. My wife has been teaching for over 40 years now and it may be time for her to retire. My thanks to you!
Hi Eric,
Like most of the people who have commented, I am also very thankful for the important things in my life, like my family and friend. I am also thankful for “Eric Tips”. One for the actual tips, and help you are providing to many, many people around the world. Secondly for many of the comments that your subscribers post. These comment show that there many people out there the same as me, with a dream to improve their lives and help the people around you. I want to improve my life and make a difference to the lives of others, and I think Erics Tips will help me along that journey. Thank You!
I am eternally grateful for Spirit that guides and protects us. I am thankful to all marketers who have imparted their wisdom so that others may partake in Spirit which drives us onward.
Have a great fun filled and prosperous day!
Thanks for all your help this year Eric. I am thankful for my family, my friends and most of all my faith.
I’m thankful for aloe vera juice, my health, my family, the friends I know and those I’ve yet to meet and the internet community of good honest people trying to help each other make a better a life.
Thank you so much for this chance for my family Eric.
I’m most thankful for the blood of Christ and His cross work. Something I can never imagine – for the first time ever ever Jesus cried out for his daddy and there was complete silence (because He was wearing my sin) – then He died….of a broken heart.
And I’m thankful for my children and wife and their health – something money can’t buy.
Happy Thanksgiving Eric,
God Bless You – Billy
I am thankful for the roughest year of my life, for the heart attack at age 39, and for the resulting gambling and drinking issues, and depression, which I have overcome. By having such a huge event in my life, it makes me thankful for all the small things in life, a birdsong, a smile, a song, the continuing support of my wife & kids. And of course I am thankful that I have discovered that there can be a different way to make a living. Thanks Eric & Happy Thanksgiving to all

Hi Eric,
Sad to say that I’m quitting for a while all niches that I’ve started due to some problem over Saudi Rules. Yes, I’m in Saudi Arabia, an OFW who is just wishing to earn some amount to continue supporting my family on financial needs come the time I retire, 1-1/2 years from now.
If I’m not mistaken, it was 2007 when I signed up with you and since then I keep on reading your newsletters where in the early stages it was somewhat irritating because I didn’t understand what you were talking about and adding to this the slowness of our internet connections during those days. With your continued newsletter, slowly I was awaken about what you want to convey and from then I started the learning process. It wasn’t you who taught me everything I’ve learned but it was you who created the initiative on me. Your concepts on my learning curves are so comprehensive that I considered it as superb for newbies and advanced users as well. With your humble ways, I do wish that other marketers will follow your footsteps.
Thank you for your small but great gift and all the ideas you have shared with me and to others throughout the years. I can use it when I come back after I arrange my merchant account in the Philippines.
Once again thank you very much.
Regards,
William Pilien
I’m thankful that the past year is behind me – it’s been a VERY tough year – and look forward to all the good things in life that await.
Hi Eric
I’m one of those who don’t live in the US and really have no idea what Thanksgiving is. I am thankful however, for many things.
One of them is you! I am thankful for the tips and hints and help I have received from you as I launched my wife’s new business ( I am the web master behind the site).
Have a great Thanksgiving
Ian
Hi Eric,
I am thankful for living a healthy life.
I’d like to thank you for your “Eric’s Tips”. The advice you give plus sharing your tips and own experience with your audience is priceless. The way your lessons are presented is easy to understand and to follow. It will definitely help someone to build an online business.
Have an enjoyable and happy Thanksgiving weekend with your family.
It is in the act of permanent gratitude that we start noticing all the positive gifts that are constantly, freely and indiscriminately, showered upon us:)
Hi Eric,
After a year to try building a business with Worldprofit I have to make up the balance and have to say with regrets that I have to stop due a negative roi.
But I am thankful of the expirience and the people I met.
I hope that I will find the right person somewhere who can help me to start from scrach and have a good start in 2010
Happy thanks giving to all of you
Sraar van den Bosch from The Netherlands
I’m thankfull for what God has done for me and because it is the end of the year.i am also very thankful for the people that contribute postively in my life in which you are one of them (Eric). Thank you once more for adivce and contribution tip. God bless you.
Hi Eric,
We are a couple of late 50’s baby boomers that reside “down under” so don’t celebrate Thanksgiving (officially).
We have a lot to thank the past year for. We remain in good health and happily married and in love after 37 years and importantly to us our family of 3 children & 9 grandchildren also have good health.
I remain employed whilst many millions around the world have not only lost their jobs but their family homes through these troubled economic times.
I’m thankful that I stubbled across your “tips” and have started to see some light at the end of the Internet Marketing tunnel, I think? We have started to to regain our house from all the boxes that have been stored there for the past 2 years as we ventured into the import of a product to sell on eBay. I have stopped purchasing every bit of prodcut information I could get my hands on and now have a good focus on targeting particular markets. I don’t believe there are any IM mistakes found that we may not have made?
The year has a lot to be thankful for and with our new-found enthusiasim and focus the 2010 year will even be better.
From a potential business perspective I’m thankfull that I have found two gentlemen worlds apart, one in NZ & yourself Eric in the USA who have integrity and a genuine interest in supporting people like ourselves to find the courage to continue this IM journey.
Thanks,
Tom
Over a year ago I became unemployed. I’ve been on the internet trying to learn and earn a living. I’ve been working on here day and night. I’m grateful to God that He’s been leading me to people like you. People like you have been giving back in a very generous way by teaching us about Internet Marketing. You and the other people who are giving up your time to teach us and share your knowledge with us is a true blessing from God. Without people as yourself, I would still be struggling trying to learn the things that would take months and years to learn if had to do it on my own. I’m also grateful to God for always being there for me. I’m also trying to help others when I can to keep the flow of love moving through the net. I say love because anyone that gives of themselves is giving love and love will conquer all. The internet is world wide and by spreading love we can touch many people all over the world. Isee in people like you that it’s not about the dollar and I thank God for showing me all the beautiful people on the net. Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless You, your family and everyone in the world. “Please Pray For Peace”
First of all I am thankful for my first new child due in seven weeks from today!!

Hello, Francois from South Africa here, first of all I would like to give thanx to you, eric for all the excellent video content and even more all the free software. I am still struggling a little bit getting my business going but that is because of my own addiction to world of warcraft, although I do have my first client here in SA, that I am doing a WP site for to promote their guesthouse for the 2010 soccer world cup, and I must say it is going well just need to drive traffic there.
And it would’ve never happened if I did’nt stumble upon erics tips, so I am thankful for
the internet, my supporting wife, my love for how online biz work.

I am very thankful for the Gift of Love. The gift of love from my family, my friends, my coworkers, aquaintences, my neighbors and especially my husband who so faithfully stands by me when I am not so lovable. I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given,challenges both good and bad throughout my 73 years of life. They have caused me to grow and become who I am. I am most thankful for the Giver of the Gift of Love , My Creator. God bless you and the good work you do.
Thanks Eric,
I am from Canada so our Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, but everyday we should be thankful for having what we need, courageous enough to go after what we want and wise enough to know the difference. 🙂
Well,my home remodeling and construction buisness has failed and i will be filing for bankrupcy in Febuary.
But,so far i have found odd jobs,and because of people like Eric who give things away for free,i will be making some money on the internet shortly.
So im thankfull right now that myself,wife,and 2 boys still have a roof over our head and a hot meal.
Best of all,the 4 of us with our great health and lots of friends,at our sides,and on the internet.

First I will thank you, Eric, for all your efforts in providing us with your Tips.
And I am very thankful that the Lord kept my brain healthy inspite of a brains surgery and that I am able to fully use my brain in the age of 62. And I am thankful for being able to motivate myself over and over again not to give up on my trials to earn money online. I know I will succeed one day to earn what I need for living and that day will then be my personal Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating this day in the name of the Lord.
I’m grateful our universe is still intact. We have done very little to maintain it’s integrity and worth and I hope we will see into the future long enough to realize, change we must.
Thank you for sharing unconditionally.
Hello Eric and all readers.
I am thankful that I have had the time and patience to point people in the right direction, both in their personal lives and also on the Internet. To help people in their quest to achieve their dream is truly rewarding for me.
I have met some AWESOME people in the past 12 months that have enriched my life, and I look forward to doing the same in the next 12, and the 12 after that, and the …
