Happy Thanksgiving!
This is the 17th consecutive year of doing this thankfulness exercise and contest! Although I’m not blogging on this site these days, this is a tradition worth keeping alive.
While about half of Eric’s Tips readers are outside the USA, thankfulness knows no boundaries!
I love keeping up with this tradition because it’s a chance for me to really appreciate all of you – my subscribers and customers. You’re the reason I’ve been able to run this business for so long.
So, first… a big thank you to YOU. I’m genuinely thankful for your support and for reading what I have to say. Whether you’re a newbie to our annual Thanksgiving contest or a veteran who’s been with us for all 17 years, your involvement means a lot to me. Thank you!
Here’s a video I just shot to share a little of what I’m thankful for right now along with a message for you…
Like I said in the video, I know life can be really, really tough. Don’t give up hope.
Next, here is a freebie as a token of my appreciation.
(As promised, I removed the download links after a few days to keep the value for everyone. Be sure to stay subscribed to Eric’s Tips and download future bonuses right away!)
Now, it’s your turn! Here is the 17th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!
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 a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a poem, a video, or even just a picture. There are no wrong answers as long as you mean it.
In a few days, I will choose 10 comments at RANDOM, and will send $20 via Paypal to each to those 10 people! It’s a small way for me to share a bit of the harvest. I will also announce the winners here on this post, as usual.
If you need examples or inspiration feel free to check out any of the previous years.
Please post a comment below and let us know what you’re thankful for 🙂
NOTE: Your comment will not appear right away, but don’t worry. I’ll check them and approve them periodically.
Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!

In my 53 yrs in business, it’s not often I feel comfortable enough to invest my hard-earned money in, this dude breaks the mold. Happy Holidays to you Eric and all.
Thankful for the opportunity to be apart of an amazing group.
Almost sure that most respondents here have given their lives to Jesus, allow me to add three things… First, I can’t imagine growing up with a mom and dad who gave more of themselves than mine; secondly, through all the ups and downs I’ve experienced over 70+ years, I’m thankful for the mental toughness I gained from a near lifetime in sports; and thirdly, I’m thankful for finding a wife in later life who helps keep me laughing and focused on the Lord, the Holy Spirit and Jesus.
I am thankful for my immediate family and for living in a peaceful, democratic country. Also for getting to know some amazing people during my life.
Hi Eric, I’m really thankful for all of the Blessings God provides to our family as we love, trust, and obey Him.
I am thankful that my son was able to get a internship with a company that understands how tough things can be for someone with autism. He gets to work on computers which he loves to do! There is a good chance it will turn into a job! So I am super thankful this year!
Of course most importantly I am thankful for our God above that provides me with everything I and my family need in this life. Next would be all my wonderful family and friends.
I must add that I am thankful for having discovered Eric a while back. In my opinion he is the first, and only, marketer that I have found, that actually provides exactly what he advertises. He provides detailed evidence in his marketing as to what his programs can do. Now, if only other affiliate marketers would do this.
I am thankful for my wife, my grandkids and the continued good health of all!
I am thankful for my wife of 40 years and my two beautiful grandchildren as well as my daughter. I am grateful for good the good health and happiness of all.
Family – my driving force. It’s why I created my journal – My Life, My Legacy Journal (https://vickipeel.thrivecart.com/my-life-my-legacy-journal-leather-ed/)
I’m thankful for the 53 wonderful years I was allowed to spend with my wife and the 4 kids and 2 gransons that came with it. May she rest in peace forever.
Yes, agree that life can often be challenging. So I am very thankful for my wife of 42 years who is always there for me as we support each other through the ups and downs of life.
I have a lot to handle at the moment. But I’m thankful that Jesus is sending me friends which are helping me to carry the lot. So I don’t feel lonely and deppressed.
With that in mind I am convinced that I get through all of this mess, getting out much stronger that I am now.
I am grateful that I have everything I need.
But also grateful that I need everything I have
Just amazed at how many things have changed since I was born 59 years ago.
And thankful that there has always been ‘good’ people.
Loved your video, Eric. Your kind words about the hardship of others must have touched the hearts of people who are struggling with their health or trying to make ends meet, yet continue to persevere in the face of adversity. Thanksgiving Day is a reminder to offer praise to God for our blessings and to help those who are less fortunate. You’ve truly found a special place, surrounded by stunning views and tranquility. I hope you and your wonderful family find peace, happiness, and fulfillment in this new chapter of your lives. Your message is a beacon of hope, and it’s uplifting to see such genuine care for others.
I am thankful for my daughter.
Many thanks for sharing and looking forward further expanding my knowledge thanks to you!
Thankful for being seen rather than being viewed.
I’m Thankful for Jesus, My Wife, My Health, and Family.
Thankful that this year has been fruitful in many ways. It gave a lot of opportunities to minister to people. It’s been quite busy, and has been a very challenging year. Thanking God for wisdom, strength and the desire to put into action.
Glory to God!
I am trully thankful to be around since I have not done anything outstanding to make me deserve the grace of breathing . Most of my youth time friends are gone for a reason or another and some were even more decent people. I have every reason to thank my Creator really.
I am so grateful for my connection to the Divine and all the Grace that has been bestowed on myself and my family, even through tough times.
I am so thankful that I am an American. In my 77 years I have experienced the good the bad and the ugly as I’ve seen so many others experience the same, but through it all there’s no other place on God‘s earth that I’d rather live . For in Him, I live and move and have my being.
Happy Thanksgiving, Thank you for the gifts. I am so very grateful for the Divine Grace that has helped our family.
I’m Thankful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for Dying on the Cross for all of us!
I am thankful that I am a Born Again Christian and also thankful for Eric’s inspiration, products and support !
Thank you Eric- great words of advice! Indeed, I am truly blessed and grateful. After leaving Boston and my failed first marriage, I met an incredible woman and my life has been amazing since moving to Utah. We now get to work together running a non-profit and traveling around the world teaching rescued women how to be entrepreneurs. No, there’s no money in it (?), but the feeling of getting to be with my wife every day and getting to help others is priceless. Thanks for what you do for us also- long- time subscriber and grateful for your wisdom over the years!
I am thankful when I wake up each morning.
Firstly, I wish to say that I have know Eric since about 2006 and have a subscriber to “Eric’s Tips” and overtime have purchased quite a number of his products, which are of the highest quality. No Fluff and Mirrors, a truly genuine successful online entrepreneur, Coach and Mentor.
Secondly, I wish to share a poem which I penned many years ago… Hope that it resonates with you and your subscribers Eric. Best wishes to you and your family.
In Life: Always Be The Reason That Someone Smiles With You Today… And Always”.
Poem – “Which Bank” is appended…
warm regards, Roy Grogan
I do not think there should be one day for Thanksging. Everyday, every hour, every second I am grateful for being present in this wonderful planet and have the opportunity to come across wonderful souls like you who are thoughtful and mean good .
Wow, what a week last week was!
Purchased Eric’s amazing product AI Children’s Book Maker, or I should say I tried to!
Our telephone line was broken by a large flying object; no, not a UFO but we didn’t know at the time what had caused it, so speculation was rife!
Them 3 hours later we lost our electricity power.
So, there I was in the dark, balancing a torch in one hand & the mobile in the other, trying desperately to buy Eric’s amazing product(s), I also wanted the Pro option but having to use my not so modern mobile was a nightmare. The only speed I was getting was up from 0.02 kbits to 90.0 but it also kept dropping to zero. So, there I was, waiting for a certain payment option to complete & taking so long & getting absolutely nowhere. Where’s a cup of coffee when you need one. Oh, wait, no electricity!
So imagine my surprise, 4 days later, telephone line repaired, I found out I had purchased 3 versions of it! But Eric was super helpful & understood my predicament & cancelled the duplicates.
So, here is what I’m grateful for: Electricity, a working telephone line or else a decent mobile & most of all, an exceptional person like Eric for personally solving my headache & especially all of ours with his totally amazing product for creating eBooks with images & so much more! So, thank you very much Eric! You really saved my day!
And the UFO? Was a neighbor’s Gazebo doing a trial aerial flight & crash landed on the telephone pole, tore through the cable & landed in our garden, just missing our Solar panels! Thankful, yes, definitely! ???
Eric, I’m thankful for God and all that he has blessed me with! I’m thankful for my family and health.
I’m also thankful for you! It was about 15 (?) years ago I discovered you via an article, and I’ve been following you ever since. (The article was about sports betting arbitrage by the way).
My little dog ZiggyZee ???
Thankful for God, Family, and Country.
It’s a good thing to express your gratitude for what you’re thankful for
I am thankful first of all to God for giving me life. In my 75 years I have learned to be thankful for life itself for without the gift of life I could not have learned about the gift of God’s Grace he extends to us through Jesus Christ. That gift brings us salvation and thus eternal life with God. God is so good. Life is good. Nothing easy about it but it is good.
Thank you Eric for the opportunity to even share this.
I am thankful for family and friends and those who support and inspire the best in me!
I am grateful for being given those extra days to live, which some of my friends haven’t had. I am grateful to be given the chance to follow a dream I have had since 2002. I am grateful for all those people who guide me and for the ones that do me harm, because this shows and reminds me not to be. I am grateful that I have the chance every day to be a better person than the one I was yesterday, and I could go on but I am grateful for my wonderful son and so many great friends. x Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends and you Eric. THANK YOU 🙂
Thankful for the advent of AI and for those who use it to produce apps that make life easier forv all of us.
I am grateful for the abundant fresh air I get to breathe in every day, the healthy nourishing food on my plate and for having a comfortable bed to sleep in at night. Everywhere I look I find things I could be grateful for – if I only choose to do so. If I’ve got the basics covered and I’m still kicking – I have every reason to be grateful. Some people who have a whole lot less, or face unimaginable setbacks in life still manage to thrive and be happy. I believe the reason is that these people have discovered the power of true gratitude. THANK YOU!
I give thanks to the Lord for He is good; his steadfast love lasts forever.
Hi Eric,
I’ve been following you probably since the early 2000s and have appreciated your openness about the entire internet marketing industry.
I’m thankful for my wife and family and grand kids. I am also a cancer survivor and am happy with my current state of health.
Wishing you and all of yours the very best at this Thanksgiving time!
Kind Regards,
Liam
There is no pain deeper than losing a child. Even when they’re grown, they remain our children in our hearts. The loss leaves an indescribable void, a silence where laughter and love once resided. It’s a grief that reshapes who we are, a burden that never truly leaves us. Though over seven years have passed, I think of my daughter and miss her every day.
I’ve also faced the heartache of losing my mother and other beloved family members. Each passing has deepened the sorrow in my soul, compounding the sense of loss.
Amid this profound sorrow, my teenage grandchildren, who live with me, have been a beacon of hope. Their presence heals my wounded spirit and reminds me of life’s continuity.
Having returned to working for myself, I find that seeking a business path that aligns with my values is quite challenging amid family interruptions and teenage chaos. Though navigating this journey is difficult, I remain forward-thinking and hopeful.
I’m thankful for the simple moments, rich with blessings despite heartaches. These years have taught me that gratitude doesn’t erase grief, but can coexist with it. I’m grateful for the family I have, for the enduring love we share, for memories that sustain us, and for new ones we create together.
In embracing my grandchildren, I’m also embracing hope. They are the future, carrying forward the values and love of those we’ve lost. Their presence inspires me to find a way forward that works for us.
This season, I hold my family a little tighter, cherishing the past, embracing the present, and looking toward the future with a heart full of thankfulness.
I am thankful for my lovely family of 7 children and 4 grandchildren. They are my raison d’être.
Angel cuddles…to one and all.
I’m just grateful—for the little joys, the big blessings, and the people who make it all worth it. Thank you for being part of my story
I am thankful for all the new technology that keeps on popping up (seems like daily!!) that allows people more freedom in so many ways- and for Eric helping everyone harness the technology to lift themselves and their families higher. I am thankful for all of God’s blessing but especially pets who shower us with their unconditional love.
Hi Eric,
I’m thankful for God’s love, my family, our health and for marketers like you who offer us excellent FREEBIES!
Thank you. Blessings to you and your family!
I am thankful to have learned the power of gratitude. It has changed my life.
So Thankful to be a Subscriber of Eric Holmlund all these while. it’s been good.
Lots of good stuff and good tips too.
God bless you and family Eric.
God bless us.
Hi Eric!
I am so very thankful for my relationship with Jesus, my Lord and Savior.
He has gotten me through so many of the hard times and brought me
into a world of Joy, Hope and Love of family and friends. I am thankful
for your testimony of your faith here on your Blog! God bless you for many
more years!
This is my first time participating in this exercise; even though I have been a customer for over a year now, I’m very thankful to God that, by His mercies, my wife and two kids reunited with me this year after living apart for several years. It brought me a lot of joy.
