Happy Thanksgiving! I realize that only about half of Eric’s Tips readers are in the USA, but gratitude transcends all borders.

First, I want everyone reading this to know that I’m thankful for YOU. Without you, Eric’s Tips wouldn’t exist.

Here’s a small free gift as a token of my appreciation. It’s an ebook containing Google Analytics tips. It also explains how you can integrate Google Analytics with social media.

    I’m thankful that Eric takes the time to teach the truth on what it takes to make money on the Internet. I’m also extremely thankful that Jesus Christ died on the cross so that all of us may have eternal life with Father God.

    I am grateful for many things but the thing I am most grateful for are the peoiple that surround me. No matter what the condition in my life happens to be the love I have for my family, friends and colleagues always comes first. It is the ability to be able to love through not only the easy times but the hard ones as well. My attitude is definately one of gratitude and for that I am grateful.

    Eric: I am thankful not just for marketers with a heart like yourself,but also for your
    stated Christian person.Anyone who would raise
    large amounts of money,and not just give to missions,but actually do missionary work deserves praise. Bless you. Too late for me at age 80,but if younger I would do the same. Doug

    Thank you Eric, this is a great idea.

    I appreciate and am grateful for so very much in my life: To be able to move without pain, to run and dance and enjoy the fresh air, I am thankful most especially for the simple things of life, sun, wind, rain, friendship, animals and the countryside. Thankful too for computers and the Internet and the ability to communicate with others. There us so much to be thankful for.

    I wish you enough sun
    to keep your attitude bright.
    I wish you enough rain
    to appreciate the sun more.
    I wish you enough happiness
    to keep your spirit alive.
    I wish you enough pain
    so that the smallest joys in life
    appear much bigger.
    I wish you enough gain
    to satisfy your wanting.
    I wish you enough loss
    to appreciate all you possess.
    I wish you enough hellos
    to get you through the final goodbye

    hi Eric ~ Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. As you know, we don’t celebrate thanksgiving in Australia. We do that every day. There is so much to be grateful for in being an Australian and living in a beautiful sunshine state like Queensland.

    I’m grateful for the Whales that migrate past here every year. I’m grateful for the peace and tranquillity of sandy beaches and gentle waves. I’m grateful for the birdsong every morning and I’m happy to see the flying foxes fly out each night for foraging adventures.

    I’m grateful for having two wonderful grown-up caring children who love me dearly. I’m grateful for my life.

    And I’m grateful for people like yourself and Sean Donahoe who care and are HONEST.

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US!

    Hi’ Eric.

    I am thankful for a family who is very supportive of my online adventure. I am thankful for people like Eric who share great knowledge that we can learn from for free. Finally I am thankful to be alive and able to share this wonderful holiday with my family and friends. Thanks Eric for the great tips over the last couple years I am glad to hear your going to keep them coming. Happy Holidays.

    USA remains heaven on earth. And it still will – not because of some jerks’ negaholicism, but in spite of it. This is the best place on earth where you can still see people like Eric not passing you over but,rather, passing away their gifts so others may experience the abundant life. Americans can never be grateful enough for their PECULIAR blessedness! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Hi there Eric and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from me and my family here in the UK.

    Its not a holiday celebration over here (more’s the pity as I think it would do us Brits a whole lot of good to stop and be thankful), but have a good one.

    So, what am I thankful for? Wow where do I start!

    I am soooo thankful for being laid off back in August 2008 which enabled me to start my online marketing journey and to have a wonderful life. Now, dont think I am talking about money (I still do not make as much as I did in my J.O.B yet) because life is so much more than money.
    Being able to work from home has enabled me to be close to my wife and 4 kids (which I did not do much when I was in a job). I get to do the school run every day and be a major part of my kids lives especially my 3 year old. Most guys dont see their kids grow up – you cant get those years back. To see his smile, to hear his laughter, to teach him life skills – its awesome.

    I am also thankful for being able to work my online Business together with my wonderful and gorgeous wife Debbie. We NEVER get tired of each other and I consider it a privilege to be able to work with her.

    I am thankful to be able to live in a beautiful part of the UK and to be able to walk our dog in beautiful surroundings breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the bird song.

    Life is amazing and is certainly no dress rehearsal. Wake up ready to do good and make a difference every day. Its inspiring.

    Have a great one Eric

    Regards

    Jonathan

I am just very happy that I am blessed by my maker in so many things, health, wealth, beautiful wife and our first son in the way. Great community of friends, family and other sweet people around us.
    2011 will be greater than 2010.
    Bless you all.

    I had been disapointed with most of the websites that promised more than they dilivered until I came across your site, Eric’s Tips. I know you are in the business to make a profit but you have a talent for being down to earth and that is good. I am thankful for meeting you and knowing of the things you do to help those in areas where there is a need for help and they can not help you in return, financially. That I am thankful.

    Hi Eric,

    Thank you for this opportunity and your fantastic tips throughout the year.

    Usually on Thanksgiving, we all say we’re thankful for family and good friends. And this year is no different. However, I am especially thankful this year that my sister-in-law is alive and coming home from the hospital today. Last Sunday, she had an ovarian cyst rupture. She was approximately 8 weeks pregnant and lost the baby. While it is extremely sad that the pregnancy ended, I am extremely thankful that she is alive today.

    I am thankful for:
    Our freedoms as citizens of this great USA.
    Our troops that continue to protect our freedoms giving their lives in some cases to do so.
    My loving family and health.
    Eric’s Tips and insights I have received. My friend and I purchases a Web Site Bootcamp from T. Eker that was not as detailed as your great site. Keep up the great work that I can honestly say that has been greatly helpful.
    I am greatly for my government retirement so I can pursue my dreams.

    Hi Eric,

    That is quite a big questions for me. I will try and some up what I am thankful for in less than a million words.

    To set the stage: I have been financially struggling the last couple years and lost my house in august of this year. I do home nursing and people just can’t afford it at this time of the economy.

    First and foremost I am thankful for my health. I have had an auto immune system disease for close to 21 years now that I have managed to keep in check.

    Second I am thankful for my animals. They are great companions.

    Third is my family. They had been a pillar for me these last couple years. Especially my mother. My aunt has a small studio that she is letting me live in for free until I get back on my feet and doesnt mind my dog and 12 cats.

    There is so much more but those are my main ones. I have been trying to learn all I can about IM and starting an online business. So far I have only made a few bucks.

    Being on your email optin list have also been something I am greatful for. You have provided more information that any guru I have seen so far. Your videos have been the best learning tools for me. Thank you for your hard work in giving them to people.

    Happy Turkey Day

    Hi again Eric.

    Well first off I’d like to say thank you for helping us all with our online endeavors.

    With out you and the few other experts out there that are always willing to offer such great content, most of us would probably fail, because we can’t afford to buy the information we need to make a living online.

    I’m retire from the Military after 31 years and my wife and I have our home on the market on a short-sale. If it doesn’t sell soon, we will loose our home to foreclosure.

    BUT, I thank the lord we are blessed to be in a warm home today, my boys and family are well and happy.

    And my friends and family are prospering… even in today’s economy.

    I am just so thankful for all the Internet Entrepreneurs who are succeeding today, and I pray that God would continue to bless you all with prosperity in your finaces, health, relationships and most of all with God.

    Secondly I am so thankful to have such a wonderful, loving, caring, beautiful daughter through good and bad times, she is the light of my life no matter what, along with my amazing 2 beautiful god daughters. They make me happy no matter what life through at me, they make me smile and they bring sunshine into my life at all times.
    I am also so thankful to have so many wonderful friends all over the world. Friends that have been there for me, supported me and still do this day through all my difficult times and shared so many happy moments with and helped me believe in myself when I had doubts, their faith in me has tremendously helped build my life and dear god, I wish for you to keep them safe at all times and help them in all path of their lives.
    I am thankful to be able to have a roof over my head, food on my table, warmth, and love! Wihtout them, we would not be able to survive, so thank you god and all for giving us all of this in one way or another.
    And finally thank you to everyone for helping me be who I am today! A success, no matter how life treats me! Life is always a risk but with love and support and determination, we can all achieve whatever we desire in life. So thank you god for bringing me into this world and giving the opportunity to experience many things in my life even the worst ones, which actually have helped me reflect on life and made me a very strong prson today which I can pass on to my child for her to surmount any mountains in her life.

    Although I don’t celebrate the holiday, I have much to be thankful for.

    First I am thankful God gave me another day to struggle through this crazy life and gave me the stamina to keep up with it, then I’d like to say I am thankful I have four empathetic, healthy and loving children (even if they are grown up!), I’m thankful for my granddaughter, who just reached her first birthday on the 20th of this month and that my daughter survived that year without too much distress.

    Then I would like to say I am grateful for the past two days because, for no apparent reason I can think of, these programs and ideas are falling into my hands like pennies from heaven….and I finally ‘get it’! It took me 12 years to get it, but I think I have a more solid grasp on all the information I have accumulated.

    I have a good feeling about our next year of life. I think we’ll make it!

    Thanks for asking,

    Lola

    I really want to thank God for seeing Christian people being blessed financially through the internet. When I started out making my way in the internet, some people criticize me because I am a church minister and I should not be spending so much with the computer.

    Though I agree with them, I also believe that internet can be a good source of income if only we are creative enough. And I am really thankful to see some Christian missionaries and minister who were real good in internet marketing.

    I’m glad I landed here in your blog and also with Darren Rowse blog. You guys inspired me that much. And right now, I do earn a little income that helps me with my finances and my family.

    Aside from the classic appreciation for health, family, friends, God, and country… I’m thankful for communication and learning tools that exist. I’ve been involved with engineering, manufacturing, and computer systems for 47 years. Never in all that time has there been a better time to Share thoughts and expertise with others. I don’t take this for granted, so perhaps that is why I’m Thankful for this gift!!

    I am a white South African who supported a regime which suppressed people. I am thankful that I voted in favor of changing that government. We are undergoing big changes. Looking back, we are thankful that there was a man called Nelson Mandela whose life dream was a democratic South Africa for all of it’s people. He fought the Apartheid System and made sacrifices for his beliefs. I am thankful that today we live in a country which would have been a blood bath had people – White & Black – not shaped a new future together. I am thankful that the problems that still exist, is getting fewer & fewer.

    Hi Eric, as you said, not all of your followers are from US. I´m from Mexico, trying to make a living in one of the most dangerous cities of the world, that is Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.
    First of all, I want to thank you for your Eric Tips videos, because I learn a lot from them.
    I respect you and your family for your social service in some southern communities.
    And above all I´m grateful because I´m alive and willing to gave to others the gifts that I have received from the hands of God.
    Thank you y Muchas gracias.
