Happy Thanksgiving 2012

By | November 21, 2012

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 a 49-page ebook that I paid to have ghostwritten awhile back, but I never got around to launching it.

I literally paid $600 for it, and it’s been sitting on my hard drive ever since. It’s never been released until today.

So I’m going to let you download it for free WITH Master Resale Rights. I even left it white-label (didn’t put my name on it), so you can sell it or add it as a bonus to any product.

Next, here is the 5th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!

Wow, this is the 5th year we’ve done this!

It’s a good thing to express your gratitude for what you’re thankful for. In fact, it’s been shown to have health benefits.

So once again, we are going to do a group exercise to demonstrate our thankfulness.

All you have to do is post a comment below saying something you’re thankful for. It could be one word, or it could be much more… it’s up to you. If you need some inspiration, feel free to check out the comments from the past four years: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008

Here is something I’m thankful for…

frozen custard
(My wife, 5 kids, 2 cousins, mother-in-law, and 24 flavors of frozen custard. This was a fun day on one of our road trips, and was a special time because it was the last day we saw my wife’s grandfather before he died.)

Please post a comment below and let us know what you’re thankful for 🙂

Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!

    I am thankful for many things, but most of all, for having a reason to get up in the morning – Internet Marketing.

    Hi Eric and many thanks for the free List Building PDF.

    There are two aspects of my life for which I am eternally grateful. First, I was blessed to have the most wonderful and loving parents who taught my sister and me the real values in life and how best to fit in with society and cope with the everyday challenges that befall all of us. They had a no fuss attitude to almost everything and taught us to never worry about grasping for things beyond our reasonable expectations. These were valuable lessons to learn in our formative years and have stood the test of time.

    Secondly Eric, I am now 65 and since my birthday, have never spent a day in hospital during my entire life. I never suffer from aches and pains and it is a rarity if I catch a common cold.I feel blessed by this and for which I shall remain eternally thankful.

    Oh Eric there is a third. Many thanks for your brilliant Tips Series. I have found them extremely important and useful and have learned things that other Internet Marketers have not covered and explained to anything like the depth and detail provided by you.

    Regards and best wishes to you and Micah and your families.

    Hi Eric. Your tips are always helpful and pleasing. As rightly said, “Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.” Thank you to all whom i know in my beautiful life

    Thankful that we still have the freedom of a somewhat non-regulated and untaxed internet experience that helps more people and situations that one could only imagine many years ago….thankful for our Lord’s precious gifts and blessings that allow all of this to happen…..God Bless the children…..

    Do you know the real history of Thanksgiving?

    “The first Thanksgiving Day occurred in the year 1637, but it was nothing like our Thanksgiving today. On that day the Massachusetts Colony Governor, John Winthrop, proclaimed such a “Thanksgiving” to celebrate the safe return of a band of heavily armed hunters, all colonial volunteers. They had just returned from their journey to what is now Mystic, Connecticut where they massacred 700 Pequot Indians.

    Seven hundred Indians – men, women and children – all murdered.

    This day is still remembered today, 373 years later. No, it’s been long forgotten by white people, by European Christians. But it is still fresh in the mind of many Indians.

    A group calling themselves the United American Indians of New England meet each year at Plymouth Rock on Cole’s Hill for what they say is a Day of Mourning. They gather at the feet of a stature of Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag to remember the long gone Pequot.

    They do not call it Thanksgiving. There is no football game afterward.” Huffington Post

    Please spare a thought for those people when you celebrate Thanksgiving.

    Eric, thank You for the gift and teaching new marketers and traders. Thanks be to the generous Indians who helped the first settlers survive the long and harsh winters. Gathering together in unselfish spirit make us feel closer to each other and closer to Our Lord who loves and wants to gather together all his
    children. Thanks and praise be to God and His Only Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

    Eric,
    I have to work today, thanksgiving day and at first I was a little bit resentful about it. In my quiet time this morning I was reminded about some of the things the children of Israel went through that they did not have to because of their disobedience to God. We often talk about how blessed we are as a nation but many times our actions don’t show it. I am thankful that we still have a day like this where a number of families get together and can be thankful to God for so much that we have and enjoy in this wonderful country in which we live. Yes there a lot of families who are going through a hardship of some kind. But everyone of us can find something to be thankful about.

    For anyone thinking that they cannot find anything to be thankful for, think about the pilgrims and their first thanksgiving!

    A lot of your readers might want you to leave
    God out of your articles, but who else can we thank for all that we have? So, I am thankful that we still have a day like thanksgiving day, in the USA, where we can be thankful for his mercies, which we have and can experience day by day. Not mention a job, a family that are all in good health. For a business man like yourself who is willing to same your family and so much with your readers. I am blessed! No, we are blessed.

    Hello Eric,
    What can I say, there is always so much to be thankful for in life. I am thankful for the many of family and friends. Also, just in awakening each new day with new challenges, especially in the arena of internet marketing.
    This brings me to you; I am very thankful for your timely tips, which have been a Godsend. Thank You for this.
    I hope that you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving, but more importantly, let’s ALL be thankful for each and Every day that we are so blessed to live and experience. Also, let us all add increased joy to anyone who we encounter, and try to add something positive to their day, whatever day it is, remembering that at some time in our own lives, someone has done that for us.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all.
    L.M.
