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. Click here to download… (PDF file) |

(Watch this video…)
(Update: the contest is over and I have emailed the winners– twelve Eric’s Tips readers from all around the world. Thanks to everyone for participating! And it’s not too late to post your words of gratitude.)
Please post a comment below and let us know what you’re thankful for 🙂
Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!
My wife, Carol, lost her mother this year (at 92), which now leaves only my Mom (almost 92) for Thanksgiving. I’m so grateful that she is so independent and still living in her own home. This year’s Thanksgiving dinner could have been very emotional with only Carol, myself and my Mom. I thank God that our church organized a Thanksgiving potluck, and we were all able to spend all afternoon in the company of a very loving and caring extended family.
First I’m thankful for you and all your tips. And most of all I look through the last few years and found that I was very hurt, because I lost my mom and shortly after that my dad passed away with cancer shortly after that my brother passed away unexpectedly. Though, I look back at there lives,and see the struggles that they went through I miss them all very much. With the way our economy is I think of the troubles and trials that they were facing in their lives and it’s even worse now. I am thankful their not facing them any more. Although all deaths hurt I am thankful for the life we have.
I am thankful I have sight, to read what you and others have written. I am thankful I am able to hear your voice and the voices of others. I may not remember what each of you has written or may have said, but I will always remember the way you made me feel at the time. Thank you one and all.
I am thankful for every day GOD is giving me now – and always will after the wonderful things he has done for me.
I am thankful for having a wonderful wife that takes care of me and everyone she meets – I am so thankful to have her in my life.
I am thankful for the people I meet and tell them my story of GOD giving me back my life – everything had shut down in my body and thanks to prayers and my wife asking for GOD to take her burdens and put them on his shoulders – thanking GOD is what I am thankful for. After her prayer – asking GOD to take her burdens –
I AWOKE from my coma – I am VERY thankful.
I am VERY thankful that there are other people in this world like Eric – giving their time and really giving away money in a different form.
I am thankful for people like Eric and also Eric too
I am thankful for many more things – but I think one of the most thankful things of all, is of all life – to share with other people along our long or short journey in this life
I am Thankful for everything.
Hi Eric And Everybody,
I bet I can write a book acknowledging and rendering thanks to the benefits of Internet particularly the benefits that I have been receiving about those wonderful things during the recent months. This is really a wonderful idea in a time like this to put out a topic regarding this most appropriate and interesting subject matter from Eric. And I really appreciate the strategy that you took which is distributing prizes among your winners for your best Writers and I believe that will really brings out the writing juices flowing out of your Commentators. Now, before I get myself off-topic, I better start writing the main idea of this write out.
The main reason that I am thankful about of the advent of the Internet is that I have started to have this wonderful ideas (just by reading and acquiring knowledge from the Internet ) in me that — When I can change my Paradigm and when I would be able to change my beliefs and habits for good, boy-o-boy, it would be like the possession of a Real Gold Mine all by myself. I would be able to co-relate that as if I found a Lost Treasure. O’ Eric and Readers, what a wonderful feelings I get when I merely just think about it. And because of this Internet I would surely and gradually and systematically would be able to accomplish my goal. And I am sure everyone in this planet will be equally and may be more profoundly be able to do that. When you look positively you can see the real gem of the Internet.
Let me just write a bit more so everyone would be able to understand the fruits of the internet a bit more profoundly. You see, when the Agricultural revolution happened, people started to change their prosperity and became wealthy and in order to do that one may took like several decades. Similarly, during the realm of this Industrial revolution, many people were able to change their life and make them prosperous and that may took them well over a decade or two. And now during this Internet Revolution, not some people, not a group of people, but every human being in this planet has the potential to change their lot and not only that they are able to do that within just 2 to 3 years period of time when they will be working consistently. I would say not only simple wealthy, but all serious devoted Internet Marketers will be able to make multi-million dollars yearly. So that surely will change the image of this planet and that seems the power of Internet. It will grow your lot not in arithmetical progression but your growth would happen geometrically. What I am trying to say in this paragraph is that growth in every revolution is inevitable but the matter to notice here in this Internet Revolution is that growth here is happening geometrically and growth here is potentially for everyone.
My second reason that I am so much thankful about the Internet is that the spontaneousness of it. Let me just explain this with an example. Here I am living in a remote Country and my niece doing a TV program all the way physically at the other side of the World on NBC in New York and I am able to watch that program through the internet. That surely looks amazing to me and to my wife. We enjoyed and shared the fun as because of the Internet. We could express the joys by watching the program instantly and my wife was saying during that program this joys we are receiving right now to-day is because of the Internet.
And that looks how I am greatly thankful about and sharing all my thankfulness with all about this advent of the Internet.
Thanks and Feel Good.

Yo Eric!
Glad to be here and say thanks to God for starters. My life is far from spectacular at the moment, but I know I shall be carried through.
Secondly, I want to thank you and other fair marketers that do not put profits before quality. I am inundated with marketing spam that ruins the whole experience. Yourself and the like are the exception. For the most part, I look forward to your emails since they actually bring value to your readers. It is not always a pitch. As you said, you have not been able to support your readers with as much great content as or late, but we understand, it is hard to maintain.
What you have provided is 10 fold and it is appreciated. It comes with your giving spirit. I look forward to following in the footsteps of quality marketers as yourself and show that it isn’t always about the buck, but about the statement.
God Bless Brother!

I am thankful for all the lessons I’ve enjoyed. This type of lessons cost in many places I know, but you’ve chosen to give them out free to all followers. You don’t have to thank us, we have to thank you. God richly blessed you.
Wow. Your email was well received this morning seeing that we don’t celebrate thanksgiving here.
I read some comments above and they’ve really made me to appreciate what i have in my life. So thanks for doing this. I now have a whole list that i’m not going to share here but value nevertheless.

Right now, I am thankful watching your video – you gave me hope that everything is possible if you JUST DO IT (the right way)! Keep on teachin’ 😉
I’m thankful for knowing my Creator, my purpose on earth and having a decent life. When I see some one less fortunate then I am I express my thanks to the creator that my situation could have been as like his/her or may be worse. Any one following this philosophy cannot be thankless.

Thanks Eric, for all your efforts in providing insights for those seeking.
well i m very thankful for all ur tips on behalf of myself. These past two months were very hard and i got some lifetime experiences by going through them.i ve got some lessons from ur tip as well. Happy thanksgiving.
Hi Eric & All our USA & Canadian Friends, Happy Thanksgiving,
I fall into the same category as Jan in Australia, here in South Africa we do not celebrate Thanksgiving.
Jan’s description of life in it’s entirety is a reflection on how we should be grateful for all our blessings. There are too many with too much, and even more with less! It costs nothing to enjoy nature, nobody can steal that privilege from you.
To one and all enjoy your festive season.
HI Eric, don’t send me any prizes, send them to someone more deserving that me. I am SO thankful to be able to do so many things that are denied to others. I can walk, talk, smell the flowers, and enjoy the feelings that others give to me. Send your gift to some one who needs cheering up.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Michael Chalke.

Many blessings, angel cuddles, love and light,
Sarah
I am happy for just being here alive and healthy and happy with my family and loved ones

I want to say I’m thankful there’s a God and I am proud to be his divine expression. May I always follow his words of wisdom and please him so to live in his kingdom forever. I am grateful for the people in my life.
I’m thankful of just being alive, remembering back when I wondered if I would make it to 20,well now that I am approaching my 70th I am thankful to be living in this great country.
Eric;

Hi Eric
Nice photo of you and your wife.
Looks like you’ve got a lot of work to do in your ‘backyard’.
I wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving, it’s so nice to see a happy, devoted family that are in a position to give so much – an inspiration to us all.
And thank you also for spending the time to share your Eric’s Tips and making your videos to help us learn about making a living online.
Wishing you more success in the coming year.
P.S. Please don’t send me a book on poetry!!(LOL)
Hi Eric
We dont do thanks giving in the UK but I must thank you for your teachings over the last few months. I have looked arround all sites for teaching IM but your site has been the one which has helped me to make the start. I dont earn any money from my efforts as I am still going through the learning curve. But when I do I know it will be down to you for giving me the knowledge. It has been invaluble! Please put your teachings in to a CD pack……I will buy and I know others will too. Keep up the teachings my friend and remember throught life the golden rule…Like attracts Like

Hello Eric,
What more you want? The GOD has given you almost everything, your life’s fully blessed, beautiful kids and wife. You only have to thank GOD.
tHANKS.
I wish to have my life like yours Eric, but unfortunately not.
We’re only living in this world on transit to the next and do what we can to help the needy.
Thanksgiving to GOD
Hello Eric,
I am thankful for living in the greatest country on earth. Thankful for my wonderful wife who has stuck with me through thick and thin. Thankful that I have a wonderful family that grows a bit closer each and every day.
Most of all, I am thankful that I have found God and that he is kind, forgiving and merciful and has helped me to find myself and bring me back from the abyss. I have struggled for a number of years after losing my job in 2002 and this year, because of my faith in God, I have finally been able to rid myself of the anger and self loathing that has plagued my life.
I am thankful that I met you online and you have shared yourself and your knowledge without expectation.
Thank you Eric.
God Bless you and your family.
David
Great video Eric. I am most thankful that Jesus Christ was willing to do the Father’s will and die on that cruel cross so that I may have eternal life. He then rose from the grave to become evidence of what we can look forward to. After that I am thankful God gave me a wonderful family that I can love. Next must come gratitude that I was born in a nation that allows freedom of religion so that I can share His love with others, and fight to preserve that freedom. So much more to be grateful for, but after all that I am grateful for people like you Eric that desire to help other people succeed. God bless you
Thanks Eric for all your lessons and tips.They have been so very helpful in getting my website designed and running. I live in Canada & we have already had our Thanks Giving.Happy Thanks Giving to you and your family.
Hey Eric,
I have been blessed with good health and great family throughout my life. I do not think I have ever missed an opportunity to let those around me know that, by the love and care I have given them and by the appreciation I have expressed to them for their love and care.
If I am not mistaken, I believe I have heard kids in the background of a couple of your videos. That tells me we are on the same page when it comes to family and it tells me a lot about you as a person.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights, especially with us new folks!
Hi Eric,
I am thankful for; my husband, my two children and all friends. I am also thankful for informational videos like yours. Too am I thankful for all my lifetime memories and for being born in America. Happy belated Thanksgiving to all.

I am truly thankful for the roof over our head, our health, and safety. It has been an “interesting” year and to have a roof over our heads and our health and safety is a blessing that we often times take for granted. Thank you for the great newsletter and Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Eric,
I am thankful for:
1. I am staying in a peaceful country without natural disaster,
2. Not suffering from hunger,

I could read what has already been said and pretend I was able to watch the video, but that is not true, and I will not pretend it is. My old computer does not support the Flash Player required to play your video. :o)
That being said, I am very thankful for this nation, and everything I have been provided with. My prayers are for continued prosperity for the free and the brave of this nation, and that thankfulness will be expressed generously all year long, as well as on this special day in November.
I wish all who will accept a Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous 2011!

Three years ago next month, I made a rush trip to the hospital, put on 24/7 oxygen and told that I had end stage emphysema. Guess what….even though it is a bit trying, I am still here and I am still breathing. You can sure bet that I am thankful for that!
Thankful for technology advances in medicine – just went thru neck cancer surgery and treatment and I am a survivor
Eric, although it is the day after “Thanksgiving” I believe we can be thankful everyday. I appreciate and thank you for all the information you give to us newbies. Just starting out and it is always a real treat to get your tips. I love your work area and hope someday I might have something like it.
Keep of the good work, and know we are reading doing those suggestion you are sending us.

I am thankful for Internet Teachers like you and for losing my job in June. I now have the opportunity to create the financial independence I have been wanting for many years.
I am thankful for life (all situations no matter what), family, friends, and consciousness.
Sincerely,
Heidi James @ : )
Greetings to Eric and the world,
I am thankful first of all to Jehovah God for His grace and mercy. We in St.Lucia have experienced the devastating effects of the worst hurricane we have ever had. I am thankful for it because it showed me the importance of having reverential fear for God and how better to appreciate others. I am thankful for life and people and certainly I am thankful for you Eric and your valuable contributions to the internet world. Not many people are as honest and giving in this industry as you are. Thanks for your inspiration and for all you do.

Hi Eric, I am thankful for your help and others, for my loving family and special friends here in the UK. Happy thanksgiving, I guess it is similar to our Harvest Festival church service, which sadly seems to be dying out.
I’m thankful for Christ my Savior, and the many Blessings He sends my way. I’m thankful for Eric’s Tips and look forward to receiving them and always enjoy each one. My God Bless you as you share with others.
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family Eric. Thanks for the gift. I have learned a lot from you over the years.

All the best
Hi Eric,
I am so thankful to live in a nation where we can worship and have the privilege of witnessing to others about Jesus Christ and not get arrested. Although this has been a tough year for me and I am still jobless–I am thankful that God is still providing. I pray and wait for the day that I can make my first dollar on the internet. Thank you Eric for all the teaching you have so graciously given us. It is extremely hard for me to grasp but am asking God to give me the wisdom and knowledge to get this going. Eric you have given so much and I am grateful for people like you who reach out to others. May God Richly Bless you and your family this Thanksgiving and thru the New Year.
I’m grateful that I can
see the wonders of nature (and your posts)
hear the sounds of birds singing and children laughing (and your video)
feel the touch of loving hands
keep a sense of humor when life is bad and
appreciate the chance to make life even better tomorrow.
