        Hi Eric,

        You really hit the nail on the head about information overload, although 100 lessons appears somewhat daunting to me. It will take me over 3 months being diligent every day to make some money online. Am I misunderstanding?

          Hello James,

          A realistic minimum investment for an online business would be about a couple hundred dollars, for web hosting, a domain name, an autoresponder service, and a product to start selling.

          However, there are many different ways to earn money online. Here is Eric’s lesson highlighting 18 different ways to earn online revenue:

          LESSON #4: 18 Ways to Make Money Online

          We can’t guarantee that your idea or business will be successful, but the people who don’t quit, but try again and again with new ideas, often find great success!

          We have seen people earn money on their first day in some cases though. If you work hard, it’s possible for you to build a successful business too!

          If you don’t have any money to invest right now (or even if you do), we recommend that you hang in there with Eric’s free video lessons at http://www.ericstips.com/. Eric’s lessons have helped many people to go from beginners, to successful online business owners!

          The lessons are presented in a sequence that starts at the very beginning, where the very first things you need to learn about online marketing are shown in the first few lessons!

          Later, if you’re interested to go even more in-depth with marketing, you might also want to take part in Eric’s coaching club:

          Eric, Paul, and Jeff are expert marketers. They will be a great resource for you!

      Hi Eric,
      I got this as part of the No Cost Income Stream system that I purchased. I have bought so much crap, and have been paralyzed by information overload. You are right, you get a whole bunch of info, but it’s disjointed. I have a full-time job, but I am looking forward, in the near future, to quitting it, and only working part-time, and eventually totally from home. I am really looking forward to going through these lessons and taking action. I have a question.
      I have gone through some of the No Cost Income System, and am wondering, is the info in these videos going to conflict with that if I study them both together??? I basically need to get an online business started, but don’t have a lot of money to invest. Thanks so much!!!

        Hello Susan,

        It’s fine if you study both courses together. Eric’s Tips will walk you through all the steps of having your own online business.

        NCIS 2.0 focuses on 5 No Cost Business Models: No Cost Product Launches, No Cost Freelancing, No Cost Video Marketing, No Cost List Building, and No Cost Affiliate Marketing. If any of those methods interest you, the course will cover it in greater depth.

      Thanks for lesson 1 I like it,
      but I am still confused about my affiliate link and my login info that I order it. and my problem that I don’t like to use face book or twitter, that’s why I stuck for the page 3 of 4 :o(.
      This is my order number
      CLICK BANK Receipt for Order #AFJRKQ4G
      and this is my CLICK BANK User name # 23774 that wrote it down for the first page .
      can you please send for me the full information and tell me how to start my work with it, or your team will do the work for me and you said in the video ?
      Thanks

      Hi Eric!

      Boy, can I identify with your story about “information overload” and spending thousands on courses and not knowing what to do.

      However, I did not know it was “disconnected information” until you mentioned it. Thanks. I thought something was wrong with me!

      Looking forward to all of your Lessons.

      Expecting Success,

      Hi Eric,

      Great start! I’m committed to following through on all the lessons and becoming successful as an Internet marketer. I can really relate to information overload. It’s just bewildering. I’ve spent several years and tens of thousands of dollars on innumerable shiny object info products from an army of gurus and still have nothing to show for it but a lot of theory in my head. Just knowing where to start, how to select a business format and a niche, and how to go step by step seems such a puzzle. Sure, they tell you what you need to do but often leave things out and rarely tell you how to do it, a critical component. Anyway, I’m determined to succeed and looking forward to your complete course.

      Kindest regards,
      Ralph

      Hello Eric and Eric’s community. I’m so happy to get to join you all. I’m Tammy Poor and I’m the owner of InterMountain Publishing and I’m getting ready to launch the Western Sky Multimedia School. I’m also a songwriter and a mental health and personal growth expert.

      I’m going to be teaching my media students everything about magazine publishing (online and print), video production (which I’ll let Paul Counts teach through his video course since he’s the master), web page design, internet marketing, traditional marketing and all kinds of great stuff. My students are going to learn on the products that InterMountain Publishing produces and sells.

      It’s all a great big economic development strategy that I’ve been working on for 15 years at the entrance to Yellowstone National Park. A family crisis forced me to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I lived as a young woman. I made appointments to meet with all the department heads at the State of New Mexico government and presented my economic development strategy and now they are all helping me launch it as we speak. I’m getting ready to crowdfund the Artists of New Mexico Magazine and the New Mexico Mental Health & Happiness Magaizine to kick it all off.

      I’ve been creating a video to explain the whole thing, but was disappointed in my lack of good footage as there were only three video footage clips in it and the rest was like a slide presentation. Miraculously I found you, Eric, when I received an offer for your Amazing Stock Video package and I was in heaven. Then I discovered your training and I’m absolutely ecstatic, because my students and I will learn from you. I know a lot about internet marketing, but I can see that you are one of the masters.

      As far as I can tell, I need to have the safelist websites open when I have the Traffic Bot working.. The amount of emails that runs doesn’t seem to be all day though. It didn’t run for more than five minutes before there just didn’t seem to be anymore commercials in my traffic bot every twenty seconds.

      O.k,

      I saw the traffic bot getting credits while logged out of the websites; but, once again, the emails/commercials only ran for alike five minutes or less, and it stopped running. Isn’t it suppose to run all day?(and night).

      FYI, “orphanages” are not permitted in Belize. I know that for a fact because my parents were the first to try and start an orphanage in Belize back when it was still British Honduras. However, instead, they opened a “training home for children” where children without family support systems were cared for and provided an education until they reached 18 years, then transitioned into independent living. The mission started in 1958 and started a school in 1961 that is still operating today. The home for children opened 1971 and closed in 2009.

        Yeah having been on their board for the past 8 years, I’m aware of some of the govt restrictions. You are right it’s a “children’s home”.

      Hello Eric,

      Information overload really had me at a standstill. I have so many fragments of information, but nothing that connects them all. Everybody hollering, it’s in the list but yet they give you done for you websites in which they kept the opt ins for themselves, while also not telling you how to specifically grow your list. That seems like the very first thing that should be taught before promotion. I promoted some things for the last year, with the company website, and barely made a dime. I’m in the process of putting my autoresponders and lead magnets together so I can try it again. Thank you for this chance to learn in a way that connects the dot. I’m excited for this chance.

        Good question, and sorry about that! You should have received 92… may plans changed slightly as the lessons evolved. You can view them all here: https://www.ericstips.com/tips/category/lessons/ Also I have a new and updated version of Eric’s Tips in my coaching club, the Inner Profit Circle. It will be 50 lessons/weeks.
