LESSON #2: What is an online business?
Contrary to what some of the so-called guru’s may say, having an online business is not for everyone. But in order to judge whether it’s a good fit for you, we first must define what an online business is and what it isn’t.
Please watch the following video:
Main points:
a) get over your fear
or
b) decide to be happy with your job, and forget about starting a business
Action steps:
1) Answer the following question honestly:
Do I want to run my own business?
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!
dear friends on the internet,please take 5min a day to clear your brain,
then you will get every thing you want,try it ! dears
Yes…your statement is very true! It’s important to clear your brain of all the little daily distractions so you can be more present with focusing on your goals

Can people put Adsense and Amazon on them?
Can I host the sites on my own server or do I have access to the server being used?
This is one of those offers that sounds too good to be true. I’ve gone through some so called make money online opportunities and to this day have not made money, but they did, because they now have mine:( Since this is on Eric’s training site, how does he feel about this business? I would join in a minute if this is for real.
Hello Heidi,
We’re not familiar with that product, and haven’t done a review. But, I’m sure that Gary would be happy to answer any of your questions as well as point you to any other marketers’ reviews.
I would not go to Go Daddy, they are a blast from the past (2000-2010). There are many services today that can run rings around GD, and they also have a genuine good service. I used GD for 3 years (2010-2013), never again, their services are confused, layout of their main site is dismal and shonky. To register a Domain name use; namecheap.com, and for hosting use HostGator.com or HostZilla.com, but run from Go Daddy.com, like i said, they have been outdone by much better services long time ago.
I AM INTERESTED IN GOING FULL WEBSITE BUILDING AND HOSTING, E-COMMERCE AND OTHER FUNKIES.
Whatever business, you must analyse your performance against plans, find business associates, joint venture when feasible, reduce risks. jvpromos.com is a place to watch & find information. And also find JV partners
Schanie
your so right and have an open mind
i took 5 minutes today to clear my brain but did not get what i want.i wanted a business idea for the internet.pls explain how it works
Keep working your way through Eric’s lessons and it will become clearer for you (it worked for me). Sometimes you may need to go through some of the lessons as well. Here is a link to some more free videos that might help provide some ideas. http://preview.tinyurl.com/nitrovideos
could u just tell me in a couple of steps how it works
The five minutes a day to clear your head is good advice but to take it a step forward try this:
1. Think about what it is you really want to achieve today.
2. Now think of something completely different like the weather (this is called breaking focus)
3. Now imagine how you will feel when you have completed your task (really feel the emotions)
4. Now give thanks to the universe (or God if you choose) for providing it.
5. Break focus again (step 2) and forget about it.
6. Take action… what small task can you focus on right now that will help you achieve your task… do it now!
That\’s all there is to it and you could probably do it in about 3min every day… try it it works!
Eric
First of all I would like to thank you for what you are doing here.Thank You.
I just listened to lesson 2.
Looking forward to hearing more.
Great idea Paul. I think I will try it.
Hi there and everybody else who reads this
I can recommand to stay away from using the word want, because when you go to that clear spot of your mind and say want than that is all you get a bigger urge to want try afirming what you are looking for like, I am receiving the best online business oportunity for me.Or I am starting the best online business that fits my style and desires.
or whatever most important is to state what you are looking for and be direct the more direct and precise the better it works. good luck.
Yes, I want to run my own business. However I want to eventually employ others that I may have more time to expand or develop other things.
Hi,
thank you for this great video.

Eric,
Could you please tell me how to make a folder using gmail.
Your the greatest
You don’t make folders in GMail. You need to make labels. The labels will be listed at the bottom so you can sort your mail that way. It’s one feature I don’t like about Gmail. I have my Gmail forwarded to the Thunderbird email program and there I can use folders like I am used too. If you need more help is setting up labels, I will be glad to help.
Also if you look in the help tab within Gmail you should be able to get all your questions answered.Best of Luck to you!
I like folders also labels makes it confusing
How do i forward my Gmail to the Thunderbird email program. Thanks Mertin
I have been using gmail for some time now. I have found that leaving the email as it is in the list is good then you can do a search from within gmail and pull up all the mail for each sender. Maybe this will help someone.
thanks
Liz
PS Eric is one of the best teachers online but if you are just starting and something that may not be introduced to you for some time is the legality of a business, the things that you need to make a real business online its not just putting up a website and selling, affiliating or whatever you want to do. You need a privacy policy, tos, contact many things i was not aware of in the beginning. Please also take this into consideration.
Have a great day!!!
yes, I am not so common with internet, but though I want to know how useful it is to make a folder using gmail as well.
I have just followed lesson 1 and 2, so I am very curious about the rest of the lessons.
Thank you
Chris-
Once you make your label folder in Gmail you will want to put Erics Tips in it & then you will want to Archive it.(that saves Erics Tips)
Chris, another thing you can try is to do what I did and make a folder in your favorites(on internet explorer) called Eric’s tips. Then you just have to open the e-mail, click on the lesson, copy the url, and paste it in a new internet window, then save the page to your folder in favorites. Hope this helps alot of ppl. And Eric I love your tips!
If you want to save Eric’s tips in a folder just right click on your desktop screen (where all your shortcut icons are)move your pointer to new and then click on new folder in the pop-up name it Eric’s tips, when you open each lesson right click on the big blue heading and save file to desktop Eric’s tips folder. When you want to review lessons you don’t even have to open your Email just double click on the folder and then click on whichever lesson you need they are all numbered
Chris, your gmail account calls a folder a label. on the left menu or your email acct, scroll down to the end to the word “more” with an arrow. Click on the arrow and scroll down again, at the bottom you will see “Create New Label” click on that and a window will pop up and you can type in the title of your new folder(label). then go back to “inbox” and click on the email you want to put into a folder(label) and go to the icon (on top) that looks like a folder and click on the arrown , and your new title will be listed on the drop down menu. Click on the title and that will put your email in the folder. Hope that helps….
Tried to view your biz. op…. link is broke!!!
Thank you,Erik!
Can you tell me what is the software you’ve used?
Best Regards,
Andy
Hi Andy- I use Camtasia to make the videos. Here is their site: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp
You are very informative . It is expensive to buy the video package. Thanks
Hey Laurie youcan go to camstudio.org and get the free version of camtasia with all the same features.
And I lovethe video lessons I finally feel like someone geniunely care about there students and not how much money he can squeeze from a list. Thanks eric so much for your trainings
The videos don’t show in IE6, but do in Firefox.
what is IE6?
IE6 is Internet Explorer 6, with the “6″ being the version. IE7 is current standard with IE8 readily available. If you visit a website regularly, such as for school, make sure that their system is compatible with IE8 before you upgrade. My online school does not support IE8.
Louise,
Have you tried clicking on the Compatibility view when on IE8. Sometimes this helps with sites that are not compatible. (It’s right next to the refresh button) Good Luck!
The last part of this lesson really hits home. Family and friends usually have a difficult time understanding and accepting the concept of working from home and running an online business.
Yes…and the funny thing about it all is: a lot of time they don’t suppoet or incourage you but when you start making the money their opinions change real quick! Lol..just a little side note to think about. Best of luck to you!
Thank you Gary,for your side note. as if you read my mind, what you said is very true. But I am determine to succeed.
I have a desire to succeed in the online affiliate genre but don’t really know where to start. I have a website, content (my own), great faith and vision but lack a plan or/and a strategy, I don’t know what to invest in - in regards to marketing ebcause I don’t know what works - any suggestions?
Andrew- as you will see in lesson #3, I actually recommend holding off and do not buy things until you have a better understanding of what you need.
I have done all that too Andrew. I have bought a course on affiliate marketing, bought a years worth of hosting and unlimited domains and bandwidth, but now I feel myself being stuck, and I don’t have any kind of plan right now, but like you, I have the desire and determination to succeed…I agree with your advice Eric, I am not going to buy anymore stuff. I have had aweber for quite sometime now but I haven’t even started to build a list yet, so I was thinking about canceling it since I don’t use it. I also bought a couple of domain names too, but like I said, I am kind of stuck in a rut at the moment, but I feel that Eric’s tips will be very helpful, I am glad that I signed up for these lessons…I also totally agree with not asking family advice on whether or not to start a business online. They just tend to think that everything is a scam and their is nothing but bad on the internet, which isn’t true at all. Anyway, I fell like I have rambled on enough. Look forward to lesson 3. God Bless.
AWeber is an example of one thing that you will need for your business. I teach on it extensively in lessons #59-70.
Just take it one step at a time.
Victor,
I understand exactly what it means to get stuck at times while trying to build an online business. I had Aweber for awhile while my names list was not growing to justify the cost. I finally decided to switch over to MailChimp which is free for the first 500 names. Great place to start until your business takes off!
Yes, I certainly do want to have my own business!
After 30 plus years of being at the mercy of the corporate bean counters, it is time for a new direction, and some financial and personal independence.
Yes…Corporate bean counters and working 9am-5pm. There has to be a better way…I agree!

MonaVie only cost $38.00 to sign up as a distributor and $20.00 a year afterwards. You can buy your product for your personal use at wholesale price, you can sell it, or you can get people who want to sign up under you and benefit from their work. http://mymonavie.com/lar/timing_discovering.asp
You are off to a great start. I am sincerely hoping I can stay with it.
I have a somewhat unique problem that is possibly true for thousands of others. While you in the city are used to unlimited access to high speed internet, that is not the case for us in rural areas.
If you have to use satellite to connect, you have limited access (rather like your server can have limited band width). Even with the top package plus a separate satellite just for downloading, I have to be careful. If you violate access, you are in a mess because the punishment is not fun.
One of the things I have to watch is the use of videos because the amount of time required for streaming. Some are ok and some are incredibly hungry.
Do you have any ideas about solutions for this group of people — especially now that videos are all the thing.
Carol Smith
Hi Carol, I do not have any specific solutions regarding this issue, but I think that the technology will continue to get better and that the bandwidth will eventually become more accessible. Also I will try to keep the file sizes of the videos as small as possible, which will help reduce bandwidth use.
There is a program called Sorensen Squeeze that will greatly reduce the size of a video file while still keeping the video quality intact. If you’re not using it on your videos, you should give it a try. It does take a long time to process the video, but it is a one-time process, and the resulting file may be as much as 80% smaller yet still look the same. That means it not only takes less bandwidth but also loads faster.
http://www.sorensonmedia.com/products/?pageID=1&ppc=3&p=14
Also, I have found in rural areas that oftentimes the local Mom and Pop telephone company or cable company can provide DSL or a cable modem that will work much better than a satellite connection.
This link didn’t work when I clicked on it. Thanks
Carol
I understand your problem with trying to have high speed internet service in the rural areas. Relief is in sight and at low cost. A company will soon be going public that with its new High Technology can provide T-1 wireless mobile internet service to everyone, everywhere for just $19.95 per month. I am very excited about this new service. You can read more about it at http://newt1wifi.com

Hi! Eric,
You are doing a great job. Pepople like who dont know any thing about online business are most benefited and feel couraged to start on line business. They have a satisfaction that thye have some one from whom they can take advise any time they want.
Keep going dear. My best wished are with you.
Regards/ Iftekhar Hussain
Hi Iftekhar,
I agree that hope and encouragement are 2 very important ingredients for success! Hang in there and best of luck to you!
Hi Eric. I am a newbie to computers and always hired people to do the work for me. I am now a widower and working from home trying to figure out how to build a business on the internet and ways to drive traffic to websites which I am preparing to create. I don’t believe much of the baloney I see on my emails and all they want is to low ball you with a shipping cost and then add more and more and the material is just junk. I don’t do that any more. What I need is someone who knows how to create business on the net and how to get traffic to the site and how to be positioned up froht on the search engines. If you can mentor me and it really works I will pay for the service if it is not too much. Let me know what you can do. Thanks,
Charles Attal
Charles- right now I am not offering any personal mentoring, but I am providing all of these video lessons for free, so follow along with them and you’ll see how to set up an online business step by step.
Even though you are not offering one on one mentoring. your video lessons are quite clear but i wish i can have them more regularly so i can devour them on time. Thank you
Hi
My name is Laurie. I have written articles on articlesbase.com and at the bottom of your aticle in the resource box where you write something about the author you include your website. If somebody likes your article they might want to know more about the author and click on your web site. Plus the more clicks on your article the higher rating it gets. The higher the rating the more it gets viewed. Type Cranberry, Blueberry, Acai Berry! Good, Better, Best! in the google search to see one of my articles
If you are looking for help & resources, have a look at http://www.jvpromos.com. New but useful information for newbiews. You may even have access to many good resources for your online biz.
Suby
Thank you Eric! I am very serious and have a great desire to run my own business. Months ago I started to learn the basic computer skills but to make a traffic I am inefficient yet. As a completely newbie I already study all your downloaded material. Your coaching is very welcome. Thank you! Marija
Hi Eric,
I see lesson #2 is up and running but I didn’t received an email about it??
Greetings,
Erik, The Netherlands
The emails are all being placed onto my autoresponder system, which may send them out at various times. You should receive the email within 24 hours. If not, check your spam folder, and if you still didn’t get it, let me know.
Also if you bookmark http://www.erictips.com you can check it every morning for new lessons…sometimes it can take over 24hrs to receive a notice by email. Just a tip for consideration.
Hello Everybody! My name is Nico Pisani… some of you may know me from Eric’s show last year….Next Internet Millionaire.
I am one of Eric’s most ardent supporters, and after spending two weeks last summer with him, I know this step by step course is going to be one of the most valuable learning experiences you and I will ever have the opportunity to be a part of.
This being said… I have created a forum that I hope helps provide a solution for ongoing communication, support, and implementation of the 120 Lessons that Eric will be teaching.
Those of you who are reading this are already taking action in making a commitment to following Eric’s 120 Step by Step Lesson Plan!
This is NOT a replacement to posting comments on Eric’s blog! Please Note: I strongly encourage you to leave comments on Eric’s Tips below each lesson before going to the forum and getting involved.
However, I DO hope to create an interactive community there that will serve the following purposes:
An organized forum to review each of Eric’s 120 Lessons. Helping you to better find, ask, or answer questions and provide input for other users.
A MasterMind Platform to Share Ideas and Strategies from what you learn. Encouraging ACTION, SUPPORT, and IMPLEMENTATION of what you will be learning from Eric.
Relationship Building of like minded marketeers. Encouraging JV’s (Joint Venture’s) and Strategic Alliances. Mentoring.
So if you are reading this than Eric has approved this post… and maybe he will also take on a moderation/administrative role in the community:)
The forum can be found at:
http://www.ericstips120forum.com
Hey Nico- nice idea
I will probably not have time to be involved much in the forum, because it is taking all my working hours to make these lessons and reply to comments on the blog. But I think your reviews are cool, and I don’t mind if people discuss the lessons on the forum. And peer-to-peer support is great. The only thing I would say is perhaps make a different header graphic so it is not confused as being my site itself. Pura vida!
Cool:) I will rebrand the logo and I hope the forum helps deliver your vision!
say Hi to the gang for me!
Peace y Pura Vida! Nico
Have you been in Costa Rica Erik?
Coz Pura Vida is the surfer way to say what’s up down there!!
Nice place but not os nice people!!
Bye
Paul from Italy
I haven’t been to CR yet, but I will some day!
Hi Eric,
Good job. Your delivery and approach will make it easy for people to listen and learn. Can I post links to your video lessons on one of my websites? This should be a excellent set of lessons for people who have been skeptical of “hard-core” marketing but yet want to get the information and understanding.
Akili Kumasi
Sure you can post links. I always appreciate free publicity
Hey!
Can I enter a link on my profile on Digg.com so that people who are interested in MonaVie can benefit from your free info to start an on-line business?
Thank you so much, i am one who did the buy everything than knew nothing. i so want my own business and with your help and God on my side how could i possible fail? Bless you and if you want something to pray about than on July 3 i go in for brain surgery - 1 of 2 tumors to be removed. have a blessed day. see you on lesson 3
Wishing you nothing but the best and a VERY speedy recovery…I’ll say a prayer for you as well.Hang in there…it will get better!
Brenda
How are you feeling?
I want you to see this video by Dr.Lou Niles, ND. on MonaVie just copy and paste the URL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvS-KA7t5dc
You can contact me at laurier6@gmail.com
Hope you are feeling better and everything is all right with you. Godspeed.
I am sorry to hear about your health. How are you feeling? I hope that you are feeling a little better. I will pray for you. Peace & Blessings to you.
Hey Eric,
Thanks for Lesson #2! I appreciate what you’re doing. Maybe a heads-up on the autoresponder which delivered the same Lesson #1 email both yesterday and today–at least to my box. I found Lesson #2 though and I’m sure others will as well. You might want to check the autoresponder, though. Cheers!
Thanks for the heads up. You are right… aparently Aweber inadvertantly repeated their response to my support request and set all my subscribers back to the first message again.
Eric,
I did get lesson 1 on the 12th; then I got ‘both’
1 “AND” 2 on the 13th and now it’s sent #2 again
on the 14th, so maybe it’s back in sync now.
Bill
Hi Bill,
Just bookmark Erics homepage and check it daily. You’ll see the lessons faster as email can take upwards of 24hrs. It works better if your in a hurry to view them. Best of luck to you!
Np about the double post! Lessons will be useful for my own upcoming project to produce small video spots.
Again Eric,
Sincere and to the point. I think that most people do not realize how much work is involved in creating and maintaining an online Internet business.
Great,
RonnieMarz
Hi Eric,
Want to say thank you for these lessons up front.Im just starting out and you are right about overload.Now Im slowing down on all the info thats out there and going to do things right.There will be mistakes but I will learn and make it.I know with your help with these lessons I will come a long way.
I have not seen anything out there like this offered for free.So Thank you again an god bless.
Eric,
Thanks for the perspectives and the previous personal insights. We have much in common even though I’m much older. I retired from an education system where I worked as a consultant to startups and did entrepreneural classes. My refusal to make the classes easy always got me in trouble! There is a cost to starting ANY business and people have to understsnd that they still have to do the parts they don’t like! I struggle with that still, and I have even taught it. I can’t tell you how important it is that people learn to protect themselves from the negative input around them, but still be willing to ask themselves the tough questions. I always told my classes that prayer was essential to my sucess as a business person and gave examples. The system didn’t like that either. I REALLY am looking forward to these lessons. I have wasted alot of time and money on programs I just did not have time to develop. I work full time for my son in his business and frequently can only find 20-30 minutes a day to work on this. I have almost been overwhelmed with questions and information both.
THANK YOU
Yes…it’s funny how negativity and negative messages we tell ourselves can hold us back from accomplishing things. It sounds like you have a lot of good insight that I could benefit from. Best of luck to you!
Hi Eric,
Great tips. Thanks! I’m ageed with you that we can’t treat online business as a “JOB”.
If we did, we just escape from the low-paying “job prison” to the “potentially higher-paying “self-employment prison”
We need to have “Right Mindset” and treat it as a serious business. We need to have strong “burning desire to success”.
Right Mindset + Right Attitude + A Solid Plan + Proven Techniques + Taking Actions = $$$ Into Your Pocket
Other than that, we need to ask ourself why are we starting an online business?To do whatever you want? when and where you want?Without having to worry about money?
Your internet business ia a “Freedom Machine”
To your success
Bryan Hee
Hi Eric,
Are you familiar with AdSense, and if you are, could you address that subject?
I’ll be talking a bit about adsense, but my friend Joel is the expert on that topic. I recommend grabbing his new ebook for $9.95:
AdSense Secrets
Joels new adsense book is excellent(just read it)…I highly recommend it! Be careful everyone,there is a lot of adsense junk out there so take Erics advice and recommendations.
hi eric..i agree 100% on your comments
cool stuff erik ! I want to grow with this and give to others too! its a great way to make a living and give back to the world at large or small peace out
Hi Eric,
Thanks again. I looked forward to the next lesson. I do want my own business & I am committed to making it happened
True guidances to success, whyn’t, this is what everybody are waiting for. Not every GURUS are committed as you.
Dear Eric, today as we following up your lessons, understanding & committed as all in you.
With you we success
Ths, Regards

Hi Eric
You’ve ask if I do want to run my own business, well my answer is not far fetch which is “yes” a thousand times

Dola
I love this course. I rules, I can’t wait to get them and when I see it in my inbox I scream and get so excited. It rules!!!
Thanks Eric
Hi, Eric!
Nice start! Keep on going!
Thank you
Hi Eric
Listened tp both lessons 1 and 2, refreshing content so far I have been on the net for about 6 months now and slowly moving forward.
Yes there is a lot of BS out there and it takes a discerning mind to sort it out
Which I am starting to do now, like most people I looked at everything and tried most things and got confused.
I retired and decided to start an internet business,to keep the ‘old’ brain cells active. Concerning health wealth and happiness, plus animal care articles. This is exciting for me to be involved with the net.
Are you planning an internet business involving animal care? What a great idea! I love animals…I have a huge black and white cat..his name is Stanley…lol Best of luck to you!
Wow Eric!
This is a totally new perspective of what is an online business. I think some so-called gurus have to hear from you.
Happy you took-off right from scratch. I see that many people have problem from the concepts and definitions.
Thanks millions

[…] Eric’s Tips Lesson # 2 […]
Hi,
I think it is absolutely BRILLIANT in what you are trying to achieve. In this over hyped world, more power to your elbow.
All the best, Allen
yes and I’m going to one way or the other!!!!
With the economy in decline and jobs at risk you need to look at alternatives to earn a living before your job is axed. But like anything you do in life, success is a result of effort. What Eric is providing is a means of olearning the skills to start looking at an online business without the sweat. self employment does have significant benefits
Yes…Eric can provide all the information but I agree that success only comes with effort and determination!You must step up to the plate and put your knowledge into practice!
Hi Eric:
Just a quick note. I have been attempting to start an online business for quite some time and made a lot of mistakes. Information overload is a gross understatement.
The point of this post is to thank you for your efforts and also note that your vids and teaching style are much appreciated.
I look forward to the remainder of the series.
Thanks
Hal
Eric,
This is great. I have often felt I have all the tools and info to build a successful business. My hard drive is filled with it.
I just haven’t known the steps, or even how to put it all together so it makes sense and actually makes a business.
This looks like my answer. Thanks a lot!
Scott
Yes, I agree with family members having a difficult time understanding about online businesses. My husband has even went as far to tell me that there is no money to be made on the internet and if there was he would be doing so himself. And no my husband has no clue of what is involved.
Eric, even though you are starting at the beginning it is still sometimes good to still go over the basic (even for someone who is past the basics) because sometimes it can generate new ideas that you never would have gotten otherwise. But keep up the great work
Heidi
Hi Hedi,
Stay positive and hang in there…you can do it!
this is the best time to start an online business
Thanks Eric, you started to make it very interesting , looking forward for the next lesson.
Hi Eric,
I would add a point to your point a) in your two points above relating if one is afraid to start a business. And that is “Get over your fear by learning what running an online business involves.” That includes learning about the risks as wall as the rewards - and the hard work it entails. Plus, I hope you will talk about the desire to provide a useful service should be a key driver running/having a business. There are a lot of “have an internet business become an instant millionaire…” promos out there (and of course, buying their products will ensure that will happen for you), and it seems many now believe that having an internet business is the door to instant overnight money riches. I believe one has to provide something that someone wants and values AND know how to market in order to have success. OK, now I gonna watch the vid.
Good sound advice!
I agree partially: Owning a business is not for everyone. And a website, by itself is not an online business on its own. However, if you really want to have personal wealth and security, then you need to own a business, period. A business builds equity and equity is the only source of true wealth.
And I agree partially
A business is one of the best sources of equity, but I would not say it’s the only way. There is another way, and that is to be an investor (which is not necessarily a business in itself). I will be mentioning it in lesson #6
Wow is all I can say Eric. This lesson hit home for me….Thanks for being a giver and I look forward to the next lesson.
Hi Eric:
I am enjoying the lessons and trying to wait patiently for the next one!
Raymond
Hi Eric,
Can you tell me what plugin you are using to get comment replys right below the original comment?
Thanks,
Fermin
It’s pretty sweet isn’t it? It’s called Ajax comments reply: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ajaxcomment/
Yeah, I love it. No more searching through tons of comments to see if you have gotten a repy.
Thanks much,
Fermin

Thanks Eric…I wondering this myself! I made a tag of it so I can come back to it later!
Hi Eric,
It is so great that someone has started doing this I have felt so lost. I have been try to start for the last six month with no success.
All the best,
Hugh
Thanks Eric,
I know from experience, you might not even know you have fears about doing something different.
You might fool yourself by continuing to “learn” about how to do something, while you already possess all you need to get started. You just don’t get started. And you don’t get anything done. And you don’t make any money.
Once you do anything a few times,it will be like second nature before you know it.
Ted
I love the new tips Eric. I agree that having a website is not a business, but can be. I have worked at my own business off and on since I was 15, and I have worked for others in the wage-slave world. Which I am doing now to earn the money to set up the new business that I am starting. I appreciate that you give real advise and not hype. Working for yourself means that you are the one that has to get up and do it, all without someone there to say you have to. You are your own boss, but that means really doing WORK! OMG! That can be hard! That is why they always say find your passion! That means that you will enjoy getting up to do the hard stuff! Keep up the great lessons! Raven
I’ve got Carol Smith’s problem, Eric - limited access to highspeed service (for now). Everybody has gone to videos & I feel as if I’ve been locked out of the library! Is there any chance you could share the transcript (ie - a pdf file?) with us that you use to prepare each video?

for now i’m not going to have time to make PDF’s, but I’ll try to beef up the points after the lessons when I can.
Hi Kat,
I also saw it mentioned somewhere that Eric may release the training course on DVD or CD-Rom once the lessons are completed. Best of luck to you!
Eric,
Thanks, To say the least.
I hope to get my site started soon and follow your lead - to help others.
Hi Eric,
Great Tips!
I am looking forward to the remaining lessons.
Thanks for sharing.
Best Wishes,

Hi Erics,
Now you come forward to introduce ‘the online Business’. Let everybody knows the concept of online in the Internet. What is ‘offline’ business? These terminologies are very important if we need to understand fluently in the internet marketing.
If we go further, some other things coming across and we should be happy to face all these without any unsatisfied complain.
That’s why these basics are very important to be acquired as a beginner, and thus help us to really understand and succeed in this virtually internet marketing world.
I hope we can follow all what is going to be exposed by Erics, and everybody must be patient
to wait till the ends of the course.
Thank you for your organized intro,Erics.
Hi,
I have been slaving for others for quite some time now but would like to be liberated through internet business - ebooks business.
However, I have encountered countless problems and deceits and therefore feel terribly betrayed and discouraged to continue.
They tell me internet business is easy, very easy but immediately I part with my money, they start singing a different tune, asking me to build the website myself using their tools, draw traffic myself to my website yourself, etc, etc until I give up since I do not know how to do these things. I have lost out countless times in this manner. The cycle of deceit continues. I wish I had one truthful person who can really help set me up thoroughly ( set up the website for me, including affilliate programs, draw traffic etc and hand the business over to me, and tell me in advance the cost. I recently paid a company to draw traffice to my ebooks website. According to their own records, they are sending thousands of visitors to my website but there is not even one visitor or customer or activity recorded in this website.
Can anyone help please. Mike
Hi Mike
I understand the way you feel, and I used to feel the same way until I discovered my coach and mentor who taught me how to:
1, Build and maintain websites and Blogs
2, Drive massive traffic to my websites easily
3, Convert traffic to customers
You need to focus on your goals and consistently work at it.
Internet/Niche marketing is not child’s play especially if you want your “Ebook website” to have good rank listing in the search engines (Google, Yahoo, & Msn)
I have watched my traffic and rankings improved
drastically by applying what I learned from the best free 67 page guide on social marketing. It is called the Authority Black Book, http://contentdesk.com/cmd.php?af=794301
You’ve also enquired about Affiliate programs. You can easily apply for Affiliate programs; here are the 3 I’d suggest you start off with
1, https://www.clickbank.com/index.html
2, http://www.cj.com/
3, http://www.amazon.com/
I hope this puts you in the right direction

So what the definition of business on line, if we have make website and want to make money from that website by referring affiliate is it business online ?
Hi There,
Yes….affiliate marketing can very much so be considered an online business and there are many people who make a lot from doing this. However I beleive you can make even more if your able to develop your own products and sell them yourself.This way your item is unique and one of a kind.Best of luck to you!
Q. How do you eat an elephant?
A. One bite at a time.
Two lessons in and I am truly appreciating the bite size servings. These few minutes with you are clarifying and focused. I have time to digest what you are saying and relate to it before moving on to the next step. Super great pace for someone working a JOB and trying to get a business going at the same time.
Thanks, again.
Thanks a lot Eric, very nice video.

Thanks for this. You must have read my mind or else there are a lot of people out there just like me.
Everything happens at the right time.
About a fortnight ago I pulled by website down that I paid a designer to do and have relaunched it one step at a time.
I have been doing so much reading and research that I have hundreds of bits that I should do someday. And of course I am getting very confused.
I WILL make it work this time.
Hi Eric,I am a newbie and am following your tips closely.i am not making any progress,could you kindly log in to my site http//onlinedatingcode.com to comment on my site.
Thanking you in advance
hs
Thanks Eric. Great advice. You’re right about not asking family they can really be negative and end up pulling you down. I guess they only want to protect you.
Lyn
Hi Lyn,
Hang in there and remain positive. If you take some time and read other peoples posts you’ll see that your not alone. Best of luck to you!
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your hasty answer!
But for a free one?…
Best Regards,Andy
Hey, Eric, Good Video. I have joined Justin Brookes SiteFlipAcademy.com and am interested in websiteflipping. I have a website for a while, but I am learning to drive traffic to hit with various methods: article, blogs, forums, and I will work on USFreeAds.com and PPC. My website has Google Pr Rank of 0. Do you have any suggestion of getting traffic. I am just starting out and have a hard time with webdesign. So I have hired someone out to do that. Any suggestion for good blogs or forums to go in. I think one of the most effective ways to gain traffic is post YouTube, MySpace, Digg and other social bookmarking sites. I have a camcorder, but I am going to start using Camtasia with Powerpoint and create my own products that way. So I think online Business is great if you are dedicated and motivated. I think the hardest is to decide what to do. I guess I should try to write out a schedule and be more organized. I think an online business, so be treated like a business. Most people think of it as a hobby. That is why they fail. But if you think of it as a businesss, good things will come. I guess I am just rattling off. But have a good day, Looking forward to lesson 3. Thanks alot, Eric, Ray

Michael , you just got scammed by junk traffic
provider. Its one of the longest running scams.
Also everyone who tells you internet marketing/business is easy, is well, bluffing.
Its low cost way to set up your business but it takes lots of time effort and money to consistently drive targetted traffic to make money. And you have to find ways to keep ahead of competition which if you don’t know is in the 100 millions !
I found a better simpler way, it takes money but lot less time and effort more like 10 - 15 minutes a day to check my account.
I’m talking about making money from little known investment opportunities before rest of the investing public get wind of.
we get access to 21 teams of top grade private investment analysts who do all the grunt work
to unearth ‘under the radar’ investment opportunities so we can make more money consistently.
last year made $54600 just investing in these opportunities.

Thanks, you do a excelant job as a teacher. I appreciate your clear no BS style and your subject task breakdown, I wish I found you three years ago. The web can suck money faster than a rigged casino.
Hi Eric Id being about 6 months trying to understand what an online business is all about, to my deception I found out that most programs are selling just a lot to read, where they explain what to do, but not how to do it. For example buy a website, pay for hosting,autoresponder,email lists, ebooks,manage PPC, subscribe to affiliates that you never know if are working or steeling your comissions since there’s no reliable way to proof if someone is reading or not your articles, and some more things that looks like tools that are useless. I’ll be honest to you I haven’t make a penney yet, I don’t invest much is true, but is like you said. If I don’t understand what Im buying I hasitate, unfortunatelly you won’t know what you are buying until you pay for it. This days knowing who to trust is more difficult, it seems like everybody got scamed and everyone has a solution for it. “Which seems like scamming forward”. When they offer you a money back guarantee they make sure you have so much to read that by the time you finish understanding, the cancellation time will be due and you end up overwhelmed and frustrated. So I hope your lessons are quite different, because I really want my own business since a very long time ago.
Hi Eric,
Great video. I especially appreciated the part about not asking family & friends. I began looking into internet marketing a couple of years ago and have gotten back into it pretty seriously the last 6 months. I didn’t mention anything to anyone about what I was doing until I got a couple of sites up and started working a little with Adsense. Now my family is interested in how I can help them do the same!
I appreciate your integrity- looking forward to the rest of the tips.

hey Joel- Thanks! I’m not taking on any speaking engagements right now… but I know who you are and I take it as a huge compliment. Keep up the good work.
My answer is a resounding YES!! I’ve been an “offline” business owner and I know the freedom that comes from it. All I need is now is a product or service and some knowledge, which I’m getting thanks to Eric!
Good luck everyone and thank you Eric.
Mary
I know the answer to the action step right off the bat…I’ve thought about it long and hard over the past year, and the answer is most assuredly yes! Though I know I was not required to comment on my answer here, it felt good to do it;)
Hi! yes, i am passionate about what i am doing as a personal performance coach and definitely want to have my own business.
I have not yet developed a website but do you have any suggestions as to how to do a questionaire specifically to health professionals online now? Thanks
Hi There,
Your post caught my attention as I’ve been in the medical field now for 14 years. My internet business has been a great hobby on the side for the past 5 years. Best of luck to you!

[…] here for Eric’s Lesson #2 Posted in Making Money Online | Leave a […]
Hi Eric,
You didn’t replyed to my posting from Lesson #1 but I found out the answer to my question to you from the other comments.I’m sorry you aren’t going to have time to make your videos into .PDF files.
I’m sure into your videos will be the most important details as to how to start an online business from A to Z.I don’t like videos just if they are the most modern method and because I less understand audio files.
But I’ll follow your lessons because I still will learn more skills from you in the long run.
Of course, I do want to run my own online business if this is the single action step of Lesson #2.
I ask you:
May I use a link to your lessons on my blog,website to send it to my online friends to help me to understand your speach from your videos?
I look forward to your next lessons.
Hello Eric,
I read up to lesson 6 and it will not let me go further. Do I have to wait till I get the e-mail from you?
I’m looking forward to the future. I’M a rep for a Health and Wellness Company and have my own web site but not doing well in it. I do not have traffic going through. I do love the product line and been using it for 2 years. I also have a Cleaning business right now but I’m very slow. I’m always willing to learn.
[…] LESSON #2: What is an online business? Contrary to what some of the so-called guru’s may say, having an online business is not for everyone. But in order to judge whether it’s a good fit for you, we first must define what an online business is and what it isn’t. […]
Wow Eric,
These courses have been absolutely wonderful so far. Thanks for providing such a down to earth experience…it’s so refreshing after seeing all the other alternatives out there!
yes i want online business
my question is this, for some of us that live here in Nigeria, how can we earn our pay?

hi Eric i paid a large sum of money to a company to train me internet marketing but i find i am not getting it . is there recourse i can take to get my money back ..just a thought .thanks Eric
Hi Eric,
First, let me say thanks for the great tips, advice and frank discussion about the in’s and out’s of having an internet business.
Second, I could use some help. I am in the business of life coaching. I had a web designer create my website about 16 months ago and I’ve been painfully reminded that everytime I need to make a change to the website, I have to pay her to do it.
I’d like to make my own changes so it won’t be so costly. I don’t even have my coaching prices up on my webstie which actually makes my website a high dollar business card.
Of course, I didn’t know any of this until recently. Should I ditch my current website and buy XSitePro so I can start over and actually make changes myself? I will be adding eBooks and other products shortly.
Also, I send out a newsletter every two weeks with Constant Contact. CC doesn’t have autoresponder capability. I’m thinking about switching to IContact because they send out newsletters and have autoresponder capability. Should I make the switch or wait it out for now?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kathleen
Action steps:
1) Answer the following question honestly:
Do I want to run my own business?
YES!
Hey Eric,
I agree being a business owner is not for everyone. I’ve been a business owner for 29 years. The internet is a different ballgame with a completely diffrent skill set. Fear was huge for me going into the internet world. Whenever I had to learn a new application I would have a full out anxiety/panic attic. You know, the kind where you want to throw your computer out the window. Things have gotten easier the more I do them. I give my all and try to be patient with myself. Thank you so much for giving so much. Your parents must be so proud!
Thanks,
Melina

Ok Eric I’m on board
once again, been struggling with overload issues but my incoming personal emails are getting lighter and I am slowly becoming able to stay focused on just your tips and lessons(I am putting a lot of faith in you).Sad to say my wife just lost her job so I am trying to talk her into taking over my lessons from The Success Network (I’m locked in with them and feel that I have hit the “brick wall” anyway)and I have purchased 3 programs from the “Sean Casey group” that I have yet to attempt to launch.It was too late when I received your stop buying stuff tip:(.
But to answer your question,YES YES YES!
Thanks Again Eric

Hi Eric
Thanks again for taking the time to do these lessons. It is a direction that this business has needed for a long time. As I get my own business going providing real info on how to do it will be a staple in my own newsletter. I also checked out your online prayer community that you mentioned in the last lesson. I joined and posted my own prayer request. God bless you for your efforts and i look forward to completing all the lessons and gaining the freedom we all deserve.
Eric your god sent thank you for helping me to start my business Iam looking forward to all your lessons
Eric,
I appreciated your efforts to make me know what’s an online business and the way of creation my own business online. Please, elaborate what’s an ebay? purchasing and reselling on ebay ? in the naxt lesson.
Thanks.
Dear Eric,
I have looked at other Stock packages and most of them come with a computer program so you can test drive and then track your stocks, usually with color coding. I didnt see that with yours or did I just miss it.
Cont. please email me if you can and give me further details.
Thanks Eric your 2nd lesson encouraged me to have my own busines.
Nilufer
YES! I WANNA CONTINUE WITH BUSSINES
I’m presently involved in an MLM, I find the continued sorting of those that are interested
a daunting task. But the main quality of a MLM is the residual income through duplication.
It seems that an internet business can also provide this residual income in the same way without me chasing friends,family and strangers, is this true?
good beginner’s lessons and a nice courtesy, thanx
good beginner’s tips, nice courtesy Eric, thanx
Good lessons l want more lessons to start up my BUSSINES,and love to have my website good,good lessons you have.
thanks ,good beginner,s tips .see olso 12+ Streams of Passive Residual Income! All virtually hands free and without EVER having to talk to a single person about it! And now I am going to let you STEAL a copy of this Ground-Breaking New System for FREE! at http://abhlimited.ws/
yes, I want to own a business.
Eric,
Thanks for the teaching. Can’t wait for the next one.
ERIC good question, there are so many out there pedaling, you know what I mean, and it seems that no body wants to stop it.
There are a lot of good comments here and this is what should be posted to show people what is really all about, not a lot of money, but a lot of time to get started, just like any business.
My self I do it because I am disabled and 65 with nothing any better to do, I am on the computer every day so why not see if I can make some extra money if I can, one thing I don’t want is to be a couch patatoe, so don’t be surprised if there are mistakes, that is why I am disabled, a triple by pass then a stroke three month later which left me seeing double, you take it from there, try typing that way, so why not, it keeps the mind active.
Thank you for the great information. These are worth learning from. Thank you for the basics and more.
Hi Eric;
I’ve had the oppertunity to check out both lesson#1-2 and your blog. I like what i’ve seen so far. I’m a retired 75yr old construction worker with a verry small pension. Even tho I’m spending around &500.00 dallars a month on what I’m starting to realise is nothing else but a money grab on the part of a unscupalace sellar with no concience. That’s why I can’t take advantage of your $1.00 special offer. What I’m realy hopping for is that I’ll still be able to get in next week after I’ve replenished my CC with new funds (and cancelled out most of my other money drainers)Providing that it”s still availlable and the price is not out of reach like some programs I’ve tryed and lost money on.I really want this, It sonds good. Keep it up.
Thank you
Wilf
Sure I want my own business. My problem is how to establish it without liabilities on a tight budget. What if I burned and loose more than I can affoard and end up canned? I for sure think you know what I’m talking about.
How can I start with at profit so that I can reinvest and grow? Those have always been my 2 doubts.

Hi Eric,
Getting into business is just like going to war. It’s either you win or you lose the war. Know your enemies and use your weapons wisely is a step to victory and success.

Eric, I do have online businesses, including one that helps the same people as you do in these videos, but it is still great to learn your views. Lesson 2, which focussed on WHAT and online business is, and WHO should start them put down essential markers. Looking forward to the rest of the course.
Hello Eric,
I am looking foward to learning with your user friendly tips. How does one go about setting up a PayPal Account? Have a great weekend.
It’s pretty easy, just go to http://www.paypal.com
I recommend doing a business account.
Yes, I definitely want to run my own business. It’s a goal of mine to retire my husband. Even though he owns the company, the company owns him to a large extent. I want to change that.
Eric: I don’t even Know whether I am setup or not, can you chek it out for me and let me know what else I should do? I asked you the other day if I need to have windows for this , I haven’t received an answer yet. Please let me know. Also I cannot download or get your lessons on my IMAC.
You can certainly be an internet marketer on a mac. But many IM-related programs (including our Push Button Marketer) only run on Windows. I know it’s a bummer, but might be worth getting a Windows PC too. I have both.
Hi Eric,
Just a few lines to give you an idea were i’m coming from,till 2 weeks befor the new year the only things i new about computers,on/off,browse the net,open and send emails thats it, and 1day last year i bought a book online which was nothing to do with computers.It was a further 8 months later when one of his sales pitches caught my eye again and something just clicked in my mind,yes ok i’m still working the usual 8hrs a day running my other 2 businesses but this is so incredible to be learning an online trade i just can’t believe i’m doing it.Looking forward to vid 3.
Regards
Len
I totally agree with you concerning family members being negative about the possibility of you starting an online business, or any business for that matter! Their negativity is based on two major factors.
1. Past failures (on your part)to get an idea or a project off the ground. Even if you have the will to continue to try to succeed their perception of your past performance(s) will always cast doubt in their minds.
2. Jealousy (on their part) because they know that you have the desire and drive that they lack that will eventually produce positive and lucrative results given the right opportunity!
Hi Eric,
Just as you mentioned in your very first lesson, I am overloaded with info,not knowing where or how to start an online business.Thanks for the simple yet informative lessons. Looking forward to more interesting lessons from you,
Rema.
I want to do online selling but am so confuse,how should i start it on ebay on line selling
ebay is just one of many ways to make money online. I will be covering various methods in lesson #4, so just take it one lesson at a time
Hi Eric,
Once again you provided good information with realistic warnings — while somehow maintaining an overall encouraging tone. I’ll be back for the next lesson.
Thanks!
Hi Eric,
I have my own business for 16 years in constructions, but now it’s time to have a business that making me more time for my children, friends and myself. I have working like a dog from 6:00am to 22:00 pm, sometimes later. And what I have won, a divorcing and loose everything(house, car, financial problems, on the momenent not abble to have a new visa card before all my financial problems are solved “when???”. My courage for working so late and with my bear hands is a little bit down, so i see a new opportunity in these business. I’am not a computerfreek, now nothing about these all,but i want learn it fast. Also the first point for me it’s all in english (it’s difficult with a dictionary,BUT… :-)), so i say YES. Please send me more lessons and thank you for your kind support. Tony from Belgium
I WANT my own business. The issue is now that I have the desire and the time and no excuses, I also have no job or cash flow. The last 2 weeks I have struggled and spent and have not succeeded in much. $5.00 is a poor payday. I will to prevail even though the odds are that I will suffer loss. Nothing good comes w/o sacrifice. Oh yea everyone watch out for Mackenzie Lee’s home cash course.
Please repond, what do you mean watch out for mackenzie Lee’s home cash course. I just started with that program. are you saying it doesnt work
Betty,
I too have just started the Mackenzie Lee Home Cash Course. It is ok, but watch out for the upselling. The original cost of $49.95 is increased to:
VIP $22.95
Blue Wire Domain..$10.19
Hosting..$19.95 per month
Traffic machine $49.95. (You will not get any sales without this)
Tim
Traffic machines $49.95
I am overloaded with info,not knowing where or how to start an online business.so i say YES. Please send me more lessons
yes
I agree with you, Eric.
I order to really find out if starting an online business is for you, you need to ask people who have been doing it for some time.
I went about it all the wrong ways you could count.
I never consulted with my wife, and because of that, I went a little overboard on my purchases.
That said, if anyone REALLY has the bug to want to start on online business- seek out he people who have been there and are doing it.
Just watch out for the hype/
Best,
-K
The answer is yes. I have had one business or another for 35 years. I want an online business now.
I’ve always known I wanted to.
You sound very informative and am paying special attention cos this year is my year to suceed.pls continue with your good work
Hi Eric,tanq for your tips,its quite inspiring becos it has reality in it,i request yu send me more than 3lessons a day,i hav gud time to spend so pls–tc
if dats the question to run my own business,well its yes for me,before i hav faced lotta problms becos of not knowin a rite person,
it was hard for me to knw the right ways of it,ther r many options,ive spent money on but nothin in return,i lost all of them,so i need tomake sure if am really benefitiin in doin this busines,i dont mind spendin lil money on it but after i find it fruitful only—-tc
I am very interested in startting my own business. The concern that I have is what I have heard and seen regarding the Internet SCAM’s. You hear so much about this, that it causes you to pause. This does not mean that I am not interested or wanting to start the business.
I agree with K, you have to be careful of the hype, because there is ALOT of it out there. There are also the ones that want you to give them an absorbadent amount of money, just to train you on doing the business. This money should be used to start up the business, in my opinion.
Al
YES, ERIC I WANT A BUSINESS, NOT A SIMPLE JOB!
THAT’S THE REASON I ASKED YOU IN THE MAIL IF THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO START! i will hangon untill the right time!
why work away fro home when you can be working out back at your pool
Eric,
You own Push Button Marketer? i just bought that I went through all the videos but I still do not have a clue on how to us it. Any suggestions!
take it one step at a time. Follow along with the videos, or try one of the prebuilt macros. If you have any specific questions/concerns, just submit a helpdesk ticket and Micah will answer it.
I want to start an online business but I don’t have a dime! What do I do
You’ll need to save up some money as startup capital. I recommend at least $200. In the mean time, you can start following these lessons and develop your business plan.
Hi, Today is my 2nd day here. I would say, this is straight forward and focused on what Eric’s trying to convey/teach to me on how to learn and establish an online business. I’ve been scammed alot of times but my desire is so big that I won’t give up because I feel there is a right one for me in the internet world but I just can’t figure it out so for now I am fixating my mind on this one.
Yes I want to own my own business, I just need to know who the bad people are that are selling the programs, so I don’t get burned. my
first attempt is with Mackenzie lee home cash course, I’ve taken the step to create the website, establish, the clickbank account that’s as far as I’v gotten, should I consider going farther with this program?
Okay Eric, I’ve started and owned 6 businesses over the last 30 years so I can truthfully say I want myown business and know that I can and will persevere.
Eric, Thank you so much for sharing your advise to everyone, I am just starting my own business and I am trying to get over my fear. I am going to take in consideration all the help/advise that you are teaching for now on.Thanks
Eric, I am an entrepreneur at heart and look forward to more excellent information I can implement.
Thanks, Jill, NC
Hi Eric, I think your Tips are very helpful.The questions you ask makes a lot of sense. It makes you think to take inventory of yourself. Thanks!
I like your matter of fact approach. I want to enhance the success of my existing business with social media and more. Keep these videos coming!
Hi, Eric:
Yes, I want to start my own business. I think I am ready to explore. I know it’s not easy, I got to put efforts in order to succeed. Again, I totally agree with you that having a website doesn’t mean you are having an online business. You should be able to monetize and earn an income to be an online business. To do this, you should drive traffic to you website and monetize from them. So, the content of you website should be the most important thing I think. It must be able to attract traffic(visitors). I think I neeed to think about what to put on the website.
Thanks,
Rick
Eric, your tips are great and inspiring.
Today I had signed up with Traffic Sage, however, there’s problem with my loggin to Traffic Sage’s support desk. I’m not able to add my information to allow them to contact me.
Do they have an e-mail address?
Thanks,

Yes, I can give you the owner’s direct email address. Please add a comment here with your email (I won’t publish it), so I can send it to you.
Thank you so much for your quick response.

I am read to start my own online business,
My answer has been a loud and proud YES for the last 15 or 16 years i have wonder and dreams of making myself rich not the other person. My niche is probably the most common and sought after but I have what most dont have and that is a desire to help people with there goal and not to keep them as a suffering customer like the Bayers of the world.All the help and advice, ebooks, webinars, and other advice I get along the way is most helpful and I thank the Gurus who give me the unfinished and not all the pieces to the puzzle.
thanks again Eric, These are so easy to follow I know in the coming weeks I will no longer worry about how to pay my Cable etc, To our continued success……Greg
simple answer to your question is:
yes
Hi Eric,
Your lessons are wonderful. But I’m deaf and I can’t hear your voice.
Can I receive from you your voice as .pdf file?
Respectfully,
Petre Tudor
Unfortunately I can not provide PDF’s at this time. But when I have finished making the lessons, I am hoping to put together the transcripts in a package.
In the mean time you might want to look into finding a speech to text software translator. I think I speak clearly enough on the video that a STT translator would be able to pick up a fair amount of it.
I want to get a bus. started so bad. I have been trying so long to get thru the info overload and get someone to clear the picture up 4 me. Being handicapped gives me a lot of time and I thx u 4 the help. You’ll be in my prayers.
I am answering the Action Step for Lesson #2 with a very loud and resounding YES!!!!!
I have an ebay store and 7 booths on bonanzle. I now have another making money website through HomeCash. What I need desperately is traffic. I have signed up with a traffic program and am anxious to see it in work.
You are so right about the time offline that an online business requires. Just writing ads for my online stores is practically a full-time job — and that is with help from the suppliers!
Eric thanks for your lesson 2 I would like to start my online buisness I am flat broke which tis the best way to go about it. Thanks for all your support
I would recommend to keep following my lessons, and try to save up some money to invest in your business.
You could try a combination of affiliate marketing and free article marketing to generate some commissions without having to spend any money, but that’s really more of a tactic and not the foundation of a business.
But then you can take that money and invest it back into your business so you can start building your own website, list, product, etc.
Yes i want to have my own profitable business.
Eric I would likke to thank you for these lessons. I would like to ask you about how long does it take to get started in this business? I am very committed to start my own business. Again Thank You.
It’s a pretty big variable dpending on things such as your technical aptitude, marketing aptitude, and how much time you can devote to it.
It can take anywhere from weeks to years to build a successful online business. Using the techniques I teach, it is reasonable to be making money within a couple months.
cn i do this without had not studyd business
Yes you can do this without previously studying business. But you must be willing to learn about business.
Very important and very ineteresting.
Who in the world would like to work for some1 else and fill the Employers’ pockets,when in fact we should be filling ours ??
After being given the boot and not even being paid my salary for the last 6 months,I decided to explore the possibilities of an online business.I did spend $50 before i reached your site and got some valid and sound advice, that too for FREE. I think u saved me a lot of money..!! Cheerio n thanks for all the Gr888 advice, Eric. Hope this works for me.
Eric, I have a site which was designed by a2z site solutions. I have included a site pal which i would like to change on the site. When I go to Oddcast, they give me a code to paste onto my site but how can I? I have been a member of yours for some time now but even my e-mail, which is connected with this company can’t be accessed. I don’t know what to do, this is 50+. I hope you remember me. My site is designed to provide an avenue for people to get Saved and it has been difficult to get it up. Help!
I am not familiar with a2z, or site pal… or Oddcast
Lesson #28 shows how to edit an HTML file (you can paste the code there).
Lesson #29 shows how to upload it via FTP
Thanks, Eric, your advice is so practical. Yes, I want to start my own business, and yes I want to run it. I am trying to learn some of the technical stuff because I really want to know what’s going on. If I decide to outsource later, I’ll at least know what I want. I am looking forward to more tips and lessons, especially in Push Button.
Hi Eric
I am thankfull to you who showed me the right way to make money over the internet.
Yes. I want to run my onw business. I started a business 9 months ago just working for myself and it is a great feeling being in control of your time and your life. I will never work at a job again. I now want an online business so that I can live anywhere in the world and still earn an income. Your own business is the only way to go if you want financial security and control of your life.
Hi Eric and thank you so much for a very informative lesson, once again. We need to all sit back and re-evaluate the things that are most important to us in our lives and our business. Thank you again.
Eric av always wanted to be an internet maketer n I am now one but am still srugling with things.
Hey Eric I could not be any clearer in my mind I been researching Marketing for over a year now, I dont have a website,though I have Many Domain names, Because I was also going to build a domain website as well,as my Marketing plans. YES I WANT A BUSINESS
YES YES YES But I would like to have started it DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY but I will be patient and having said that WILL make a ton of money soon.
Hi Eric
I just wanted to know, if I can use the samples that you have provided word for word example Disclaimer sample, Terms of Use or Service sample, privacy policy sample. Please let me know and if yes do I put anything jerryjet.com there or do I use the samples like my own.
Thank you
Farid
yes you can use the samples from lesson #43, but they are as-is, and at your own risk
hi Erick!
how can I create a folder for eric`s tips emails using Yahoo mail?
here’s instructions:
http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/mmail/mmail/mm_manage2.html
Hi Eric,
YES I DO WANT TO RUN MY OWN BUSINESS. This is my first business so I am feeling overwhelmed but I keep working at it every day. I am happy to get one or two things accomplished a day!
Great Eric for telling those who havent made up their mind. Most of the time some gurus will tell you anyone can start their own business. This is not true because many people are thought to get a degree by our society. Having a business is a responsibility, not a job where someone tell you what to do. It is not easy as most of were told, but it provides a greater reward for those that succeed at it.
Yes I am ready to run my own online business. It is all new to me. Thanks for the video lessons, and I appreciated the personal introduction to you & your family. Looking forward to the other lessons.
yes, I wish to start a business online now,how long will it take to start a business and earn money ? Yeah, I will commit myself to the lesson that you have posted . Thanks Eric
I am very determine to have my own business! With God’s help, my efforts and your guidance, I believe I will be successful!
Hi Eric, I do wish to have a successful online business I have spent the last 9 months building skills in html editing, ftp , hosting, domain name, clickbank and now cpa marketing. I have purchased video screen capture and virtual assistant software as well as social networking and twitter profiles. So I have come to far to quit now. Gracias.
Eric,
thanks for the info. I have an offline business that I wanting to get online. I tired of one store in one town.
Hi Eric,
I am enjoying your video series. The information is very helpful. On thing I am having problems with is adding an optin page to a template. I use Aweber and know how to insert the code, but the hosting company I am using provides templates and I am having a hard time figuring out how to add the script code. Do you have a video addressing this?
Leanne
Hello Leanne,
While we don’t have a video tip on this, the Aweber staff has encountered these difficulties before.
We recommend that you visit their knowledge base here:
http://www.aweber.com/faq/
Or, you can get some direct assistance at this link:
http://www.aweber.com/contact-us.htm
Hey Eric,
Once again I enjoyed the video! Is there a way that I can access your lessons to where I can view more than 1 at a time. I am very interested in what you have to say and in your teaching style! Thanks as always,
Jason
Thanks, you can find them here:
http://www.ericstips.com/tips/category/lessons/
Just make sure you don’t skip any steps.
Hi Eric,
I do want a on line business, and the 2 tips so far makes me think I can do this. I don’t know much about this stuff, but I am starting to pick up some knowledge by studying every day. I have owned and operated my own retail and rental stores for 22 years, this year I lost all including my house,but I know I need to have a business to recover. Will my past experiance help me in this new start up?
Yes I think your past experience will help in several ways. You know the kind of work ethic required to build a successful business. Within 22 years you’ve no doubt experienced successes and hardships that you can draw wisdom from. If you’ve hired people and managed employees, this experience will help too.
In fact, for someone like yourself… it would probably be best to hire people as early as possible in the business building process, so you can build it faster and take the workload off of yourself.
Hi Eric! I’m a new subscriber and I have to admit that you’re far more honest to your statements compared to the thousands of ” gurus ” swarming online. I’m not sure if this has already been answered, but I wonder if I can somehow directly download your vids to my computer for a more thorough study. Thanks for your help and I really can’t wait for the next lesson…
When I am done with the 100 lessons, I will be making them available for download for a reasonable fee. In the meantime it is online streaming only
Hi Eric! I’m a new subscriber and I have to admit that you are far more honest to your statements than most of the “gurus” swarming online.Keep up the good work! Now, I’m not sure if this has already been answered in previous comments, but I wonder if there’s some way to directly download your vids to my computer for a more thorough study…
Yep… I’ve failed in business before for exactly this reason! And yes… I do and have an online business and am doing it because I have a passion for it!

I also in the past have had a couple of small franchises, first was bread and second was snack foods. There are a lot of variables to deal with, product, delivery times, vehicles, taxes, ect. I had to get out due to a divorce but I still think it is worth all the time and effort, getting the first dollar is the kicker.
Hi Eric,
The answer is yes. I do want to run my own business.
Butch
Hi friend I have just open this web I don’t yet understand anything in this web.How it is business?
Hello Tick,
We recommend that you keep following Eric’s Tips. There are currently dozens of entries that cover many ways to make money online, and run your online business. Each entry has a video that you may watch to better understand Eric’s tips and insights.
Hi Eric,
thank you for your lessons.It’s so useful for me always.I have one question.Pl answer it.
how can I copy the book from amazon.com?
buren
Hello Buren,
Is there a particular book you wish to receive a copy of?
I’ve been in business most of my adult life. Being in business does have its ups and downs. I personally like the freedom of having control over when I work, alhough you must take the inititive to actually put in the effort or you won’t be successful.
It’s my dream to have income through the internet. But I don’t know how to do it! To have business on-line is very much welcome! YES! I want to have my own business on-line! Looking forward to the next lesson!
Eric,Im a new subscriber and have just watched your 2nd video. I am new to this type of biz and i am trying to establish if my basic knowledge of IT will suffice. Anyway, your refreshing approach was most welcome!!! All the very best. Sandra
My wife and I are very keen to start our online business. We have a business now but want to be free of the industrial age type. We have the stickability ,the drive, the willpower,the money and the Lord Jesus Christ. What we lack is the info so I will be very greatful if you will put the dots close together so that they can be connected. We can do all things through Christ. When one door closes,another opens. John
Hi,
Of course I want to run my own business.
Sabir
Thanks Eric. your first lesson was very interesting. I like your interest in teaching newbies like me but i must say that the second lesson wasn’t clear. i do hope to catct up with the subsequent ones.
thanks
Eric, i really want to start an online business to be financially independent. To have time for other things.
Hi Eric,Ilike the way you set up your lessons.It’s very organize and understand easily.I can’t wait for all your 12o lessons you offer free.Could I share to my friends.God Bless!!!
angie
Having an online business is the BEST thing that has ever happened for the income earning in this World.
Thank you for adding the highlights - I’m a “reader” rather than a “watcher”!
You make a good point. A website is not a business unless there is the intent to monetize, and there are systems and processes around it.
Sorry I did not understand what steps should I do in making the web and blogs
What is included katagory online business
Thanks
putu
Keep following the lessons and I will show you how to make a website and blog.
Hi Eric,
I really like your approach to teaching in this lesson- that of wisdom and remaining calm while looking at the bigger picture. It’s reassuring and motivating!
God bless!
Hi Eric,
I decided to have an online business because i want to work anywhere in the world with my family. I said it because I need to work full time far away from my family as of now to provide their need.
I believe you could help me a lot.
By the way incidentally, when I click lesson # 3 suddenly it’s gone from my email list. Could you send it to me again. I will appreciate it, I want to have a complete copy of your lesson.
Thanks again.
here it is: http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson3/
Hi Eric
I sent you a message yesterday asking for how to register a clickBank Account in Nigeria and how to start online business as a beginner. please am still waiting for your response.
thanks
You can check out clickbank here. I talk more about it in lesson #54.
Yes of course I do want to run my own business. That’s why I follow your lessons. God bless you Eric!
cheers,
Hi Eric,
Your advice is right on! My company sells turnkey web sites. We include the products, install the website, setup the affiliate ads. All our customers have to do is promote their website.
Would you believe that many of our customers who purchase these fantastic business opportunities are not at all committed to owning a successful business?
Although we repeatedly stress the fact that you must promote your site to make it successful, some customers simply purchase the site then sit back and wait for the money to start pouring into their account.
Needless to say, since they’ve put forth no effort at all in bringing traffic to their site, they get nothing in return. So bam! They shut down the site and go off in search of some way to get rich overnight. Sadly, they either can’t or won’t accept the fact that whether you work at home or work for someone else, the key word to success is “work!”
Thanks for the lessons!
Hello,Eric. All is great, what you tell about. Probably, I made mistake subscribing to your’s, because I’m artist, and I would like to sell my art works at the auction of ebay, but I do not have some money for paying. I think about affiliate program. How to participate in the one?
Well it doesn’t take much money to post an ebay auction. You might enjoy this post:

Hallo Eric,
In this case we actually have to run our own bussines but sometimes in a special case we can ask someone to run for us and or we can join together in a certain bussiness. The reasons is for economics and practicals measurements.
Yes Eric, I am very sure if I have a bussiness especially online bussiness certainly I will take the lead to run it by myself. The reason is so we can control everything e.g.financial activity to the target ahead.
Just getting started….awsome video for a newbie like me..
To answer the question…Yes Yes and Yes again. My best friend has been in business for himself for 12 years now. He’s had ups and downs along his path, but he answers to himself, he’s responsible for his mistakes and triumphs. I admire that and I want that level of command in my life.
Thanks Eric, bread is still important, I need it for me and a lot out there, even though its not an end itself, because we know the end.
This my first lesson.
Hi Dear Eric
I would like have more information about online business because my phd program is e-commerce. It will be beneficial for my teaching.
Best Regards
Dr Narges Delafrooz
Hi Eric
I’ve just started an online business. I am selling ebooks, affiliate products and my own - resell rights on products. I am finding it difficult to get people to buy - I use adwords as one way to drive traffic to my websites, this works but they don’t buy. I have autoresponders as I capture their details, however again not many sales.
Do you think the customers are not hungry enough for the products? Are the autoresponders not doing enough? Where do you think I should focus to get the sales? I have products that fall into niche markets, the website is visited but the sales are hard to convert?
Any generic factors I should address in a situation like this? I am testing and tweaking but if you have any tips would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sarah
I will be addressing most of these issues at some point during the lessons. In them ean time you are doing the right thing by testing and tweaking. The most important thing to keep testing is the OFFER. In other words, what are you offering and for what price? If it’s an ebook, and they’re not buying it at $47, then maybe they would at $37 or $27 or $17. OR maybe they would buy it at $47 if you added some videos. OR maybe they would buy it if it was a $7 trial, with $40 paid later. OR maybe they would buy it if you converted it into a membership site. It’s important to test the little things too, like headlines and colors, but it’s best to focus on the BIG factors until you achieve at least a mediocre conversion rate… then you can fine tune the details. A lot of it comes down to copywriting and the positioning of the offer as well. If the prospect doesn’t clearly see the benefits and the value, they won’t buy.
Thanks, good advice.
Hi Eric,
I enjoyed today’s lesson. It was thought provoking and I know that’s what you intended. Truthfully starting an online business has to rank in the top percent of life’s decisions. I have been trying for months to start mine and believe me…it’s time consuming. After all those months I finally realized I need a mentor. I’d recommend your training videos to anyone contemplating or trying to start an online biz.
Many blessings,
Tom Gregorio
Hi Eric… I think, I am already one step further. But you are absolutely right. Everybody should make up his mind first, and then take action!
All the best,
Arne
I have tried other web marketing lessons, but yours, Eric, is where for the first time I’m beginning to understand this concept of internet marketing. I am already with Clickbank as it seems to be the easiest one to understand and market, so will continue with your lessons and hopefully will be able to supplement my retirement income.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for this 2nd lesson, really liked it!
I have a desire to start my online business and looking forward to the next lesson.
Many Blessings,
Max
Thanks Eric…moving onto lesson three, I have been commited for 15 years in my business and am starting a new carrier path change and developing this new business of mine for my future and my loved ones. Thanks a Bunch.

Hi Eric, I’m working through the videos although I’ve been in business using the internet for over 10 years. I am now trying to unlearn all the wrong information I was taught over those years. Your videos are helping me to dispel my old idea and make way for the new methods that will actually work. Great Stuff.
Expect Success
Eric,
Yes, I want my own business. I am not sure what I want to sell, however, I know that I am ambitious and willing to put forth the effort to work for myself. I appreciate this walk-through and look forward to each step. Thank you so much.

I want to create my own website to market my eBooks, but I don’t have the money it takes or the know how to build it from scratch or an idea of how I will attract traffic to it.
You asked me if I want to have an online business.
Yes, I want to have an online business.
Eric,
I thoroughly respect your honesty. It is very refreshing in an Internet space that is fraught with fraud.
For you to give me the option to walk away gives you great credibility in my eyes.
I have started a website that I hope to spin into an Online business.
Your lessons seem to finally be giving me the path I need to follow. I look forward to following them.
I learned from this lesson that I need to get over my fear. Thanks.
Hi Eric, my wife and I have our blog up and running but do not generate income yet. We have tried things such as affiliate products, adsense etc. We are presently running a 28 day challenge in which we have JV partners in.The 28 days are free and we would like to put together an e-book during March. How do we make money?What are we doing wrong? I will follow all you lessons.I just don’t get it I guess. Thanks for listening.Pierre
Keep watching my lessons, and I will show you what has worked for me and many others!

Hi Eric

Hi Eric,
Great video and thank you. I have been trying to learn how to make money online for about a year and you guessed it, I have no results.
And to answer your question, it is a big YES I do desire to have my own online business. Just that I have yet to find the right way. I do have big dreams that one day, I can teach others what I have learned and share my success.

This is quite hard to start from the beginning using only 2 fingers to type. I am much faster now and Have met many people.I think it is great,just need to make an income. Thank you for your Lessons Eric. I hope I can use them productively.Tammy Bowshier.
Hey Eric, I like your videos. Not too much information so it is easy to follow them. I will look them all, that´s for sure.
Thanks Eric, A very valid point. Me personally I’ve sorted the JOB v’s Online Business question and online business won hands down. Looking forward to learning.
Hi Eric
Thank you for providing this information and videos for free. UNBELIEVABLE. This might be an answer to my prayer to being a stay at home mom and wife. I look forward to continue wathching your videos. God Bless Alma
Thanks a lot Eric, yes i am ready for the online business.God bless you
Hi Eric
I am ready for an online business. I have learnt a lot about SEO and would like to do that.
I use Gmail and find it really easy to set up folders. I especially like the spam folder which will auto delete after 30 days. Saves a lot of time
where in the world is the spam folder? I have yet to find it!!
Hi if anyone is interested I have a great book by james Allen “Day by Day” it includes the complete text of As a Man Thinketh.It has helped me to make many positive decisions in life while working online and in my personal life. http://www.Sylvias-Love.org
YES I WANT AN ONLINE BUSINESS MORE THAN ANYTHING! I know very little about starting my
own site, also I have very little cash. However
I am wanting to publish my own book I have just completed “Common But No Democracy” I know it will do well.
Sorry the name of the book is “Common Sense But No Democracy”
Yes, having a business frees us up to do the things we really want to do. An online business is convenient in a number of ways. A business outside the home I think is not for me. I prefer having a business where I can set my own hours …. something that gives me a little flexibility.
Hello eric, I fell of the wagon and its taken me a year to pick back up. I’m starting over but i have not given up. I still want to own my own business. The Lord has been good. I’m healthy now and hope to continue what we started. thanks for all your emails and tips. they continued to come. delores porter
YES
Eric, I am following you and I have my website up and learning from the things you are advising thanks, Ray
Yes I need to start my own business
Dear Eric,
Yes I need / want to have online business. Can you give me more lesson on each day ie 2 or more.
Thanks for the support
Greetings,
comments not being posted, what happy?
Comments are held for moderation, and I periodically approve and respond to them
Suprisingly valid question, people do buy online biz products and then do nothing to promote them and potentially earn?
Thanks Eric. . .a GREAT start but a very necessary thought for me to get clear in my head at this stage. I suffering from “Information Overload” and this straight shooting is a refreshing punch (first blow) and WOW! it’s really set my mind on the right track. YES! I want to run my own business again! ( I was in business (Travel Agency in the ’80’s - Very successful too!) and I want to do it again! Thanks for the good start-up pill!
im ready to committ and make money
Hello Eric! I just wanted to get started with sending you some input that I received from your lesson. I realize that you are probably pretty busy most days, but I just wanted to say Thank you for your Frank Honesty about the assignment for today. I did take a good look at my reason for statting this and the answer I came up with is….”YES! I do!!” More than anything, I will work around the amount of money that I need to use, I will come up with it or do without, but I want to be successful at having my online business! I want out from under the pressure of thinking that I have to continue to live below Poverty Level and Rise above, even just a little bit. But I am making the committment to stay and learn from you the things I need to know. Thank You for being willing to teach those of us unable to buy into the market, so to speak. Have a Blessed Day!
P.S. Thank you for mentioning God and Tithings, I have always wanted to but never could pay God back for all the awesome things He has done for me!! Thank you for not being afraid you would offend if you mentioned!! Smiles!!!
Yes I need.
i need help in opening a file for eric’s lessions.
thank you
Hi Eric,
Your featured product, Automated Sales Formula…I watched the video and it sounds really great. And the fact that you seem to be endorsing it is all the assurance I need. However, I’m skeptical over the fact that Keith doesn’t seem to offer any kind of guaranty, if for some reason you’re not happy with the material? I guess I just need to know you really do endorse the program. Thanks!
I was not aware that he was not offering a refund period (if that’s the case). In the past, Keith has always offered guarantees on his products. If there is no guarantee, then I would not recommend investing in it unless you can afford to lose the money even if there is no return on your investment. But I do still recommend the product for those who can afford it, and are OK with taking a risk on it.
Take me by the hand! Onwards & upwards!
If I can make you some money in the processe…
Then i’ve done my J.O.B. right Eric!
What gose aound… well we’ll fill in the rest!
Be Good Mate!
John.

For all the reasons you talked about, RE: your lifestyle is why I am here. I worked hard for 26 years working the JOB to lose most material things the past 2 years!
After being inundated with the “hurry and buy” tactics of info overload emails, this brief lesson is refreshing. It truly made me stop to remember that going into business is a process and the first steps cannot be omitted if I plan to succeed. All the buy me, easy way out, money making gimmicks won’t help me if I don’t even have a fundamental background knowledge or don’t even have a website to implement their get rich quick programs on. Thanks for helping me, the internet stupid; take the steps one at a time, from the beginning, so I can come to understand what I’m doing as I go. Melvena
Good stuff eric, keep it going.

But computer oriented business I have a lot to learn. Any help in that direction will be greatly appreciated. I need to do this as enexpensive as possible.

Two things;
1. How do I change my email address so I will receive your emails?
2. For those who don’t want to wait for the next emailed lesson, go to the address bar and change the number to watch the next video.
In any email you received from me, you can click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom. But then instead of unsubscribing you can edit your email address to your new one.

Yes Eric I really do want an online business.
I am currently preparing a review type website. As I don`t know anything about the techie side, I have secured the assistance of Roberto at Datassistants.com - It was he who sent me the link to yourself.
I have made some money using the net before but not as much as I wanted. This time I know I will be successful and eventually escape the 9 to 5 rodent race.
I suppose I`m saying (especially to newbies), DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK SOMEONE FOR HELP - There is a load of help out there if you know where to look. The problem is that there is also a lot of scamming or incomplete systems being offered by vendors in order to increase their sales.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST AND WHO TO AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Once you have found just one mentor, you will probably be introduced to other trustworthy persons who will also furnish you with excellent advice and tutorage.
After that it is up to the individual.
Thanks for your honesty and integrity.
My friend and one of my mentors, Roberto from Datassistants.com sent me to your page. Thank goodness.I feel like I have had my eyes opened even further through you lessons. Can`t wait for the next one.
Well in that case I need to say thank you to Roberto
I`m hungry for more - Keep the lessons coming
Tom

What about computer skills.Oh thanks for info. but it was short.STILL GOOD THOUGH
I address this question in lesson #9. Many of the lessons get longer as the series progresses.
Yes, I Cindy Makonin want to run an online business. I cannot wait until I get to the level you are at. I too want to make a difference in the world and the lives of people. I want to help other people grow rich in all areas of their lives.
How do I get my picture on your comments?

YES, I DO WANT TO START A BUSINESS ONLINE. I OWNED WEBER’S MAINTENANCE&REMODELING IN FT.COLLINS CO. FROM 2000TO2007 I DID HAVE THE STEVE HAWES ACCOUNT IF YOU CHECK AROUND HE RENT TO A LOT OF THE CSU STUDENTS HE’S FAMILY IS WILL OFF TO SAY THE LEAST. BEFORE I LEFT, HE DID OFFER ME THE ACCOUNT BACK, BUT I HAD ALREADY MADE MY MIND UP TO CHECK OUT PHX,AZ. SO ALL I HAVE BEEN TRYING IS TO GET AN ONLINE BUSINESS GOING BUT JUST GETTING RIPPED OFF. I DON’T HAVE A WEBSITE OF MY OWN. I DO HAVE ONE THAT WAS BUILD FOR ME. I TRIED SENDING TRAFFIC TO IT BUT I COULD NOT ADD ON THE TRACKING IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT MY TRAFFIC WAS DOING.

TO CHANGE MY LUCK IN THE ONLINE BUSINESS
Hello Robert
I think your answer, about wanting to start a business online, is the right answer. I also think that you are in the right place.
I am here because I know that Eric has one of the honest online businesses. I have followed him for a while, at the suggestion of someone, (who I taught to build a website) who has been following him for years.
I have two suggestions, my opinion only, first one is to type your comments in lower case (until you read it online somewhere or someone tells you, you do not realise, that all upper case, online, is shouting) Someone will come along and see your upper case, not read it, then get upset because you yelled at them or were angry.
My second suggestion is to watch the excellent lessons, from Eric, about building an online business before you spend more money, I do not pay for any traffic, although it is an expense of a legitimate online business model. The only money I spend is for my domain names and my hosting. Frugality is one of my reasons, the other is that I have the time and research ability to find all of the free stuff, including these excellent tips and lessons.
You will build an online business if you follow this course and take the action asked.
Good Luck with it all and wishing you all the best year in 2011
Sandra
Hi Eric
Think it is very clever how you only provide one lesson at a time, this I assume will prevent information overload and keep me motivated. I have a feeling I will enjoy these lessons. Just watched lesson 2. Thank You
This stuff is getting exciting. Just to let you know that I have always dreamed of owning a business, taken courses, computers, etc. leading to business ownershi, So YES YES I am….
Hi Eric
thanks for your valuable tips,I do not know if u be able to see this message or not!! I’m wondering while following your tips if you have ready made websites with bulcky content pages)for sale inorder to save time or u may recommend some one u affliate with ….I trust your word.
your comment is highly appriciated..
I generally do not recommend ready-made websites, due to duplicate content issues. However there are some good templates and tools that can help you quickly build a website (all you need to do is then add your content). For example, http://www.ericstips.com/instantwebsite/
Eric
I forget to tell u that I’ve purchased your and dave product pro trading and I’m going through it seems need alot of time … but it’s interresting ! It’s 2008 version did u make any updates on that???

Yes eric! I want to run my own on-line business. I repeat, on-line business, because, I have my off-line business before for almost 25 years, but because of the bad economic situation, I lost big amount of money in my trading & import businesses. As a newbie in my new found business and at the of 56, I should not be doing something that will lead me again to a depress life. I should not be doing a trial and error system or a self study method which can lead me to another disaster in life. This time, I need your support and guidance to direct me to the right way to be successful in my new found endeavor. Thank you.
The comments above mine clearly lead to an amazing point. That is, YOU ARE TRUSTED, ERIC! When a seasoned offline entrepreneur like Mr. Tan values your guidance, then you must be real, indeed. Continue to be a blessing to all of us!
Eric
I just finished Lesson-2. These free lessons are great. Am loving every minute of it. Also checking out some of the links that have been posted in the comments section. Plus I am doing research in other areas of this arena as well….It will take time, but I will get there eventually.
I just wanted to let you know that I have every intention of making this work to the very best of my ability. Plus my significant other is supporting me every step of the way.
Once again–thank you, Eric.
i have been trying for years. glad to have found you.
In response to lesson #2: Yes Eric, I want to be in control of my own cash flow, rather than having it determined by others, such as an employer. Also, I desire to have the ability to market products and services that fit my areas of interests, as long as there is a demand for those specific products and services…Friends, Lloyd.
Hi , i am very excited about all this,i want my own business but i dont know as much about computers as i should, but am learning fast . Please keep up the good work helping the every day person.
Yes, I am absolutely ready to run an online business. I am tired of losing money trying to figure it out, it seem to me that you are the real deal… I am on board.
Yves
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Thank you for letting me watch the videos
I look forward to watching them all.
Francis Morin
” VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS ” To you and your’s Eric. This is “GROOOOVVVVY” thank-you. I am not procrastanating, actually I am in the middle of writing a blog, and was going ta drop ya a line after. Must of took your blog today a little personal. LOL I unexplainably appreciate your “Blogs” , & “Downloads”, they are so on time for my situation. For they contain help i could not afford to purchase. I do not want to delay putting my Blog on line, and then review all the videos and info, and fact you have so kindly forwarded to me, and use that knowledge i will learn to touch-up my blog, and my new web page, if and as required. Thanks again, and Top of the NewYear to you. Dennis. P.S. do you believe i’m on welfare? NOT FOR LONG
Hi Eric.
My name is Jacqueline and I do not know English. I would love to participate in their courses. Can you help me by sending video content in written form? I can translate on google.
Thank you.
Hi Jacquiline, I plan on making the full transcripts available later this year. Until then, you will find notes below each video.
Eric,
Thank you for your step by step lessons. Just finished lesson 2 and looking forward to the following lessons.
Thanks, Eric, for this step by step approach. It should take care of the information overload syndrome.
Right now, I can say that I definitely want to run my own online business.
I am confident that you will show the way.
I am a newbie and I am open to new information. I am a senior and have retired twice,but can,t stand to sit still mentally or fiscally.I get a real high from my accomplishments. In other words I love to learn and make money. A website is not an online business.Thanks, Looking towards the next lesson.
Yes I want a business.
It is hard to know where to begin - I am a borderkine senior, I am now not able to work due to a disability but I still want and need to work. Yes I do want to run and have my own business. And I want it to be on the internet. This is a totally new field for me, I was a general Sales Manager for about 25 years, but sales and sales management is not the Internet. This is exciting, challenging and to boot its fun [except with the darn people that are strangers to the truth]. It is great to run into an honest and upright dealer, and from Mr. Google Eric is that and much, much more. Thanks for taking me on and I hope I can live up to the fact you are teaching me.
Bob
Thank you for lesson 2. I have a small, part time eBay business now but would like to start something larger (not necessarily on eBay). I think your lessons are a great step in the right direction. Thank you!
I agree with you. Please guide me to a positive result.
Too Right …..

Hi Eric
Its Richard This My second comment, Im making a comment because I am learning to get involved, I am 47 years old and self-employed and have been for 20-25 years. As the world changes I see that I have to change with it.
Video 2 is food for thought. I’m a beginner and I’ve decided to start with Affiliate Marketing; it that becomes succesful, then onward and upward! Please Pray for my success.
Hi Eric,
I am the classic example of the guy who has been buffeted too and fro by the so called Internet marketing guru’s.
I have tried many times to earn even a small monthly income, and generally speaking my overall success rate can be scored at around 1%.
I have listened to these guru’s and I have flowed first in one direction and then when that didn’t work I’ve gone in another direction, until in the end my head was in such a spin that I was more confused than when I first began.
This is my third year of trying and at last I think I have found the guy who will steer me towards success at last. That’s YOU of course.
Although this is only lesson 2 and you haven’t yet touched upon things which I probably already know, even so, I will be listening to every word, because I think I am going to have to be doing quite a bit of UN-learning too.
I am really looking forward to getting into the nuts and bolts.
Cheers,
Mark
You’re absolutely correct when you state “starting a business is not for everyone.” Many people love the idea of being their own boss and quickly realize it takes quite a bit of discipline to “get to work” and make things happen.
Great post Eric
Ron
In fact consider what happens to many off line businesses…they fail within the first several years. The online scenario takes a shorter time for this to happen.
I wrote an article awhile back about how 97% of most internet marketers don’t make money, quit and why it happens.
You’re totally on target as to why not having your own business may be right for a lot of people.
I got this in an email. Is it legit or is it a scam.
[url edited]
I really want to start trading online but how long will it take for me to go through all of your lessons.
I don’t think it’s a scam, but I don’t think it’s a good opportunity either. Just another hyped up online MLM startup.
If you’re interested in stock trading, I’d recommend these sites of mine: Trading Pro System and Daily Market Advantage
I’ve been trading on-line for 12 years so If you need to know anything, I will be glad to answer any questions you might have If I can

Hi:Eric
Your video courses are wonderful. I can’t wait to see the third one. I started build my website business last year. Every one definitely has a huge learning curve in order to build a successful online business.
It gets easier if you have the right tools and resource that helps people build there online business. That is the reason I built.

Hi Eric,
I have been working the online business for many years and for the most part when I had a service company that got its customers from the site information posted and a form I used much like an auto-responder. The form would send me an instant message with the customers information and what they were looking for. Then I could call or send an email to schedule with the customer for my service. That was then but today it costs to set that up. Needless to say the market change has me in a fuddle because most information and teaching courses do not cover step by step procedures in real plain word. Remember Some of us are from the old school and need to translate into the new jargon. I like what you said about stepping back too. Whenever a project is worth it planning and dedication are the utmost and you should reflect on the tasks involved.
Thanks for some fresh air

Great information - Honest & No Fluff about what an Internet Business is and isn’t..
So far I really appreciate your honesty and the way you don’t sugar coat things.
Let’s be real here…any business takes ALOT of work to build and maintain. You don’t just push a button and sit back and watch the money roll in-AND if you do, you can be sure that that will not be for long term and it will be very short lived.
Businesses online take work and dedication…
Hi Eric
I have no website and also very new to internet business. I wan to srtart doing online business.
can this system be posiible without a website page?
nzela
Hello Nzela,
Yes, we recommend that you keep following Eric’s Tips! Eric explains many ways to get your business started, that don’t involve having your own web page!
Eric,
Absolutely the greatest insight and advice to working a business.
Regards.
Paul DeKane
I made a promise many years ago, after losing a great job because of idiots, that I would never, no matter what it took, to work for anybody else again.
I know we are all interdependant in many ways but running a business for yourself although tough is way more satisfying than being a JOB slave.
Decided to learn more and start my online business, thank you very much
Hey Eric - whether I want an online business??
YES, of course I want it, reasons:
1. I am currently retired and have lots of time, but low cashflow position. I would like to create a “bigger cashflow”, in order to enjoy a more “freer lifestyle”.
2. I am/was a business-owner and I know the risks and all intricacies in running a business.
3. I know what the required investments are in an offline business - and online businesses have “less” monetary requirements in the initial stages.
4. Travelling every morning to the office from the house took abt 1-1.5hrs, depending on the traffic and jam situation. Now, as an online business-marketer, I can just hop off my bed and immediately go to my “office in the cellar” (20 yards distance). No traffic, no pollution. Quick and relaxing.
So, taking all the above into consideration - I guess starting and having an online business would be fun and challenging. And with your assistance, I have full confidence, that I will be successful.
Many thanks for this guidance Eric.
Take Care, have a great day and God Bless.
Regards,
Pudjo.
Hi Eric, it’s talking about mindset. It sounds complicated matter. What is really the essence of job and business? Did you mean a job is something we are able to like or dislike to do? and a business is something we have to do because of we have a goal (profit) and however (whatever) we must achieve it as good as possible?
Hello Darminto,
Yes, a job is something that you do in order to pay your bills, and buy the things you need.
An online business is something that you might choose to start, and run all by yourself. With your own business, you become your own boss, and can work to grow it as much as you want.
There is great satisfaction when you reap all of the fruits of your labors, especially when you become completely financially independent!
Hi Eric,,
great course, my name is uju,,i have being online 4 quite some time now,i live in Angola,English is my 2nd language,i speak portugues,i have aweber no list yet,sometimes i get stuck in information over-load, i really want to get my own product but i do not know best way to start it,i feel like am jack of all tread master of none…any advice to push me forward to my desire success, in IM.

Hello Uju,
We recommend that you keeping watching these free lessons, as you are still on lesson #2.
There are many more lessons, that won’t overload you with information, but will carefully guide you, step by step, as you move forward in your online business!
I really want to have my own internet business and I am ready for whatever it will cost me
Affiliate marketing isn’t for everyone. It takes a special character and sales wisdom to be successful in internet marketing.
Thanks Eric. I am ready to go. I have had little businesses before and loved them. They were limited in how big they could get by their nature. This one I want to build to be big. I am excited about getting going. I find businesses creative and independent, which is fun.
Keep the tips coming. iew is promising’
Thanks Eric I plan to start a business and make my own webpages and getting traffic. This is where i’m starting success in 2 years.
http://www.Iwontneedsocialsecurity.com
Please I am in need of online business because it creates room for interaction with family members and people we would have met in our life time. I wish to start soon.
HIS Farm. co is the business that I want to build. My Wife and I are just starting, so Yes, we do want to start a business. Looking forward to funding HIS Farm.org with the profits from the affiliate website. Thank you for your support Eric
Yes, I want to be in business (again), its the best way to control your own destiny, but you got to have the right business model.. I had the wrong business model that’s the reason I have to start over again (at 68 years of age)can’t live off of social security.. if I/m going to survive its business or nothing
Hi, i live in Qatar and Kenya. do you think i can run an online business successfully based on your teachings?
Hello Michael,
Yes, there are people who have found success in online marketing all around the world!
Thanks Eric
I look forward to summoning enough courage this time to go ahead and start the business. Yes I know I want to start a business on the internet and I know exactly what I want to do but I get cold feet because I have serious technophobia. I’m afraid to start making my own website even when I have instructions because I’m afraid to fail.It helps to read other people’s comments and ideas. One thing I am is determined. Giving up is not an option. But do you have a cure for my technophobia? Thanks again.
Some great points… I have refusbish computer business, looking for affilicates, any ideas.

I want to start a business and it will be launched in October ….in french.
Yes, I am french speaking but I hope translate the website in english and I need a english speaking partner to do it and to manage its customers.
You will see the concept with a video in both languages on the website http://www.infaillible.org and with a good translator, you can probably understand the french text below.
Thank’s for your attention.

Hello Giddu,
That’s a great starting place.
Here are a few lessons on how to make money with your blog or website:
http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson37/
http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson38/
I grew up in a “Christian Environment” where I was “taught” that money is not important and it is better off to be poor and was afraid to success.
A few days ago, I found this verse. Deuteronomy 8:19 “Remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth”
The fear is GONE !!
Amen Nathan!!

Eric…Lesson two of 100. Great, let’s keep going and learning.
Eric,
After the economic decline, we have had to accept that our small trucking company has finally become bankrupt, and my husband has been forced to take a “job” for the first time in his life. I am home bound due to a chronic illness. Our bills are about to cause us to lose our home as well. I have been praying that I would be guided to something with honesty and integrity that I could do from home.I knew instantly that I had found it when I listened to your testimonial. LOL I once sold manufactured homes, too. I was in sales all of my life, ending up in real estate, HA HA. Then I got sick. Oh well, sorry to go on so long, just wanted to say how excited I am to finally find a course I can believe in. I want to be able to tithe once again! God Bless You and the Guys!
Hi Eric, I don’t know if I’m ready to answer your question just yet. Perhaps after viewing a few more lessons GOD will help me decide. THANKS John W
Hi Eric! Well, here’s from a former student who didn’t follow Eric’s Tips to a ‘T’! I’m back and this time I will do each Lesson ‘One at a Time’! I’ve been in the land of Scorpions & Camels (Iraq) for 14 months! It will be great to get back to the good ‘ole US of A. Denver, CO. For you new students of Eric’s Tips. Enjoy them, because no one does them better!!

Hello George,
Please contact our helpdesk, and we’ll do our best to help you: http://www.ericsupport.com/
Hi Eric, In your videos you talk about tweeking and renaming other products you receive. What if you don’t know enough to make the product better? You seem to know alot and can make those changes. I on the other hand would not be able to do this. (I am a complete newbie to this business) Also the terminology is what throws me and of course information overload. In answer to some of the questions about what is an online business or offline business. I would assume that an offline business is a brick and motar business that is for walk in traffic nothing to do with the internet. An online business is like the one you are doing where there is no retail store to go to to purchase these products. Is this a correct assumption? Thanks for the lessons and the time you are putting in. When you train someone you have to remember to not assume anything. Take talking to a 3 or 4 year old. Everything you say they take literally and maybe not what you “meant” Trainers have a habit of talking at their level of understanding and not at the newbies level of understanding. I am sure as a family man you understand about talking to children and keeping it simple so they understand what you are trying to make them understand. Hope this makes sense to you. So far I am understanding you.

Hi Eric
I posted a question yesterday and not only can I not find an answer … I can’t find my original poat! Am I doing something wrong?
Hello Al,
We replied to your other comment. We have to screen comments before they appear on the blog, because of spam!
Love the videos!! I’m trying to be patient and learn each step carefully. I listen to each lesson 2 or 3 times. But I can’t wait to get to the part about when to know if I should quit my job!!!! I don’t like the regular 9-5 sitting in a cubicle all day routine.
Thank you Eric!!
Thanks for the lesson Eric.
one strong and definite YES! I wan an online business. As I’m a beginner, I still don’t know all the steps I should take to build one, but for sure, i WANT it!
Great stuff! just found you recently and I like what I see and hear from you.
I AM REALLY READY TO PUT FORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS BUSINESS. I WANT TO SUCCEED IN AN INTERNET BUSINESS. I HAVE VERY SMALL CAPITAL, BUT ALOT OF TIME. I LIKE YOUR HONERST APPROACH TO YOUR SYSTEM. THANKS AGAIN, DENNIS
It’s probably late to say “NO” now due to the investment I put in to IM but thinking positive, I’m going to try my best to work and learn hard to be successful on this business! With your tips and help, I’m sure I’ll make it! Thanks!!!
ERIC I REALLY WANT TO WRITE IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN HELP
I CANNOT BUY BOOKS AT TH MOMENT BECAUSE I HAVE DONE COURSES BUT I NEED TO PROOF THAT WRITING IS FOR ME
Hello Lillian,
Thank you for your question. We recommend that you hang in there with Eric’s free video lessons here at http://www.ericstips.com/. Eric’s lessons have helped many people to go from beginners, to successful online business owners!
I have already answered this question for myself. By the way, I like the music.
I’m ready
I can not agree more that everyone should not try starting their own business!
It IS a myth that anyone can do it.
Truth is…not everyone has the discipline to keep working at something consistently…
And then there are those that actually really DO have so many other obligations and absolutes in their lives that adding the time that it takes to put into an online business (at the very least during start up) to amke it successful can lead to OVERWHELM.
That is where I am right now actually. I am a full time home school mom of 9 with an already busy business owning husband. I started an online business that is doing okay, and though there are other models that would have taken less time…the learning curve has had me up until 3 and 4 a.m. far too many times and I am just plain tired.
Please consider your energy levels and personal convictions and what you are willing to continually put into it OR NOT and what your priorities are before you attempt any online business…..because it will become a HOLE THAT WILL END UP SUCKING YOUR SAVINGS and then you may end up giving up and quitting.
You biz idea may not be a bad one….but it if you are not willing to pay the price….it easily may turn out bad for you. Count the cost…and then double it for reality!
Sorry to ramble on! (and no I have not quit!
Best wishes to ALL!
Kim
Kim,
I definitely agree with you. My husband and I have been self-employed for about 10 years now. He is a sales manager marketing the local newspaper. I do all the order processing for him, so I already work from home. He works about 12 hrs almost 7 days per week. I started the online business to be able to pull him into it at some point. I’m finding that the learning curve is very extensive and requires a lot of hours. I know we will make this work, but it won’t happen over night.
I agree with you when you say…count the cost both time and money. Like any business you can’t just snap your finger and make it happen.
Good luck to all!
Dena
I would love to watch the videos if the missing plugin that isn’t missing wasn’t missing.

The question you asked is “Do I want to run my own business?” I say yes I do want to run my own business. A little about myself, I’m currently in the military and I’m about to retire in September next year. I’m right now in change of a career. I’m in the process of looking for another career and trying to get resumes out there and it is hard. So in the mean time I’m looking for a change in career to supplement my income until I better understand the online business or succeed in it. But in the mean time I will be still looking for another career. I believe once I have a better understanding I will be able to be debt free and at this point that is why I’m so determined to try it. My goal is to try to be debt free before my retirement date. After that little history the answer to your question is yes I do want to run an online business. I feel I’m ready and its time. I’m used to hard work and patience. After all being in the military is hard work and it does take a lot of patience.
I have been “trying” to run a on-line business since 1995 with little success. In a last ditch effort I decided to partner with a successful on-line marketer, thats you Eric, (well I must have being doing something wrong for all those years so why not learn from the expert)
(I’m 69 years of age)
If my efforts fail this time, with you as a partner Eric, I’ll forget about “all” business and go enjoy my retirement fishing and sailing
How can I download these videos to keep them and listen to them again?
Hello Katherine,
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to download the lessons currently. However, Eric plans on putting the entire lesson series on DVD when it is completed.
Mind clearing is cool…
in addition mind wondering is fodder for creative thought.
Thanks for the lesson Eric.
to your question is yes I do want to run an online business. I feel I’m ready and its time.
Do You want to run your own business? - What a great question! - so many people have misconceptions as to what will be involved and don’t really think it through. It is refreshing that Eric asks this question ‘upfront’ and thereby gives his students the choice of direction and commitment. Gaining a ‘Support Network’ is paramount particulary to those who may be affected i.e. friends & family.
Thanks Eric,It is refreshing to find someone who tells it like it is.I have been trying to get an online business going for month’s and have spent several thousand dollars and received a lot of info that has me very confused.I am looking forward to your help in putting it all together.
Hello Eric, Once again, a very sensible, understandable lesson. Your non-hype presentation is a breath of fresh air. I’m very happy I discovered your site. Thank you.
Charlie
yes please
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the lesson #1 I click on lesson #2 it did not work it said ( missing plug in)

hi Eric this Kevin i am just starting out in this adventure so let me tell you a littel about my self i am a truck driver i have been doing this for about twenty two yers now and it has taken a toll on me my wife and my life so the question is do i want to run my own busines and the answer is yes because rite now i am not ejoying my life my wife or any thing for that matter this has gotten me down what i need to know is how we do this and do it with out any out of pocket expens on my part because what money i make gos to the bank and it pays for tha previes week so rite now i am one week be hind and over drond so please i need all the help i can get
every time i told someone i wanted to loose weight I was told I didn`t need to, (even though i was 60 lbs over weight) When I shut my mouth and proceeded to do what I felt was in my best interest I lost the weight I needed to for my health. So what I am saying here is making money on line is a personal thing, and there is always those people that mean well for us, or think they know better, however unless they have experienced doing it themselves I NEVER ASK FOR FRIENDS ADVICE ON A SUBJECT THEY KNOW NOTHING OF.
For example: Can you imagine someone telling us what religion to pick just because its been in the family for years. We all have free will to choose for our self do we not.
I understood there were webinars in the coaching program. Is Eric’s Tips the same as the Real Guys Coaching Product? What is the difference? I bought a coaching program and just want to make sure I am in the right place. I know the Webinars are to take place on tuesdays, I dont know when or how to connect.

Hi everyone,
I believe I want an online business very much since I have spent 2 years learning the computer and business online, so I would think I have the determination to succeed. But, I can’t seem to put it together. I am on information overload and my creative writing powers are for the birds. Although I am educated and a retired senior, I am still determine to prove to myself that life begins at retirement and that I am still creative enough to build a business even at my age of 71. What do you think? Good night!
Hello,
We believe it’s never too late! Let that creativity shine!
something here is not working right I hope you will get my message
Hello Stan,
The reason your comments aren’t showing up instantly, is because they must be manually approved first. This is due to the rampant spam online. Even though we’re using great spam protection software, some can still get through.
Yes! I do want my own online business.
Yes Eric, I do want to run an online business. I have run a business before and know some of the ups and down of it. I am retired and older now. Spending most of my day not doing a lot I want to keep my brain active; learn how to do this and make some money in the process.
Excellent, just on lesson #2 and you are coming out with guns blazing.
I want to replace my current income of $100K per year. I can retire with an income of about $50K, not nearly enough. So with my biz earning me $100K I will have a gross of $150K a year. Makes sense to me. I am in the cell phone arena which is not going away anytime soon. I need to get the word out to everybody.
Well Eric i just want to say i don’t see how you can judge someone saying that internet business is not for them, so if you think negative like that then i can’t work with you.
Hi Eric
on lesson #2 i can not get the video to play.Can you help me with this?

Oh to answer the question, absolutely I want a online business. I been chopping at this block for a couple of months. I only been getting little chips off the block but, I will end up with a mountain with time and patience. My meaning of mountain is that I will succeed. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Yes I am ready to start my own online business. You are very easy to understand. Peace & Blessings to all
Hi Eric:
What I am finding out about online businesses is that after buying the package, there are a lot of forced upsells without the training and support. It seems that most of these sites are actually your competition, and although they offer to train, they really don’t want you in their world. I believe that their income derives from offering more than what it really is.
Any business requires dedication and in reality, your new business can’t be dictated by someone else.
It won’t open for me, it’s saying “missing plugin” I had no trouble playing Lesson 1 yesterday and I have not deleted anything from my computer. Help!

Don’t just learn how to success online. Learn also from other people mistake. Failure can be costly but it is a good learn. Business success is the journey not destination.
My desire is yes I want a business and have wanted it for about 25 years now. Thanks for showing me how! Doing this in steps will keep me organized and focus. I am dislexsic and put things backwards or mixed up. Thanks.
I am already starting; afraid though that I won’t make it, but I’m willing to put in the hours and learn the “ropes.” I am not able to view your videos, keep getting message “plug-in missing.” What plug-in?

I have bi-polar disorder. Does anyone know if starting my own online business might be too stressful? (My doctor says that I should not be under a lot of stress).
Hello Michael,
Anything can be stressful if you don’t enjoy it. But, if you enjoy what you’ve seen and tried so far with an online business, then keep pursuing your dreams!
As long as I can remain focused in what I interpet as what Is an Online Business and am able to envision not only How I can benefit from it but also, How can others benefit from it and the fit feels good, of which is feels better than good, I am in the right place brother Eric…In fact I have a biological brother named Eric as well….Kewl!
Hi Eric, I just listened to Lesson 2. Your lessons are short and meaningful.
To comment on L2, I am determined to start an online business. It has always been my dream. I am always looking for something viable and to date have not found one which I could call it my Online Business. I always strongly fee that I will succeed one day. That is why I enrolled for Eric’s Tips.
Eric - regarding lesson 2: I’m a retired manager of a brick & mortar company and of the opinion that the employees had the easiest jobs; the managers worked much harder and the sole proprietor worked the hardest and took the most financial risk. So, in thinking about a way to supplement my fixed retirement income it occured to me to want to be an affiliate of business, both on and off line. Is online affiliate marketing an online “business”?
Hello Jay,
You don’t have to be a business to get into affiliate marketing. Some people have earned money within minutes of promoting their first affiliate product.
You can however, make affiliate marketing a part of your online business model. It involves your time and energy, just like a brick and mortar business.
Good info Eric and am committed
I think sometimes all we think of are the rewards of an online business and we don’t think of all the time, money, and effort that comes with it. It’s not easy, especially if you’ve never done anything like this before. It’s taken me 2 years to get to where I am and that’s really not all that far. I’m just now starting to understand all that is involved. Trying to go it alone and do everything by myself has taught me alot but in my ignorance has also hindered my progress. But the answer is, yes, I want to own my online business. No matter the frustrations, I keep chugging along. Thanks Eric for making me THINK about it.
I and also my guys happened to be going through the great tricks found on your web site then before long got a horrible feeling I never expressed respect to the blog owner for them. Those ladies are actually certainly glad to read through all of them and now have pretty much been loving these things. We appreciate you simply being indeed helpful as well as for choosing this sort of great tips millions of individuals are really desperate to be informed on. Our sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to sooner.
I am a newbie and your information was sent to me by my father who is a great fun of yours. Seeing and listening to your videos and reading your tips made me understand what to expect in the coming days how to conduct a business on line. Thank you for being my mentor. I will finish and apply everything that you will teach for I know I am in good hands.
Thanks, Eric, looking for more great info.
Mark
Yes! To answer your question. But, I’m finding it difficult to transition to working for myself from working for an employer. I think I need time to implement what your taking about and I can see this “business” as something to develope my desire to be free of a job. I’m dreaming but for some reason I want this dream to be a realality.
Thanks Eric. Excellent advice.
I am disabled and really have no means to invest in any type of software or manual that can guide me through the process of starting a PLR business. I would greatly love some free and helpful advice that I can implement in a step by step approach. Thanks!
Hello Christy,
Eric shows how to rebrand the PLR content you have in the following lesson:
http://www.ericstips.com/tips/lesson47/
In the early comments today, someone said they hoped everyone is putting the lessons to work and getting started. My question is: How can we start when we have so little info right now?
I love your program too, Eric, Nearly all the affiliate letters say free, but it’s a huge lie, unlike yours. This is the first free item I’ve ever signed up for. It might be better if you sent 2 lessons each time. I need something to sink my teeth into, you know what I mean. Thanks again. Looking forward to more lessons.

I will pray about this question because I want the correct answer.
BIG Question for me. I’m too old to get a regular job. I had my own business before. I LOVED it, but it left me really broke.
Yes I want a business. I have been working towards starting a business and yes for me it has been difficult. Too many missing part for me right now in technical and informational knowledge. Also a mentor who I can bounce information off. So to the next lesson.
I have tried about everything out there to make money on line and have had zippo success. Most of the problem is me because i would start one thing, get frustrated and then gone on to something else, and on and on…… Anyway I decided to stop everything and start over. My question is I am considering an ecommerce store but can’t seem to focus on a niche/product. Would I be better off just doing a blog with affiliate marketing instead. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello Andy,
It’s important when choosing a business, to find one that you will enjoy building and sticking with.
In the next few lessons, Eric will discuss a number of different types of online businesses you could build.
The following lesson should also prove to be helpful for you:

Q. Do I want to run my own business?
A. Yes, I do.
I have gone through some of the videos and am searching for some good niche but the content is a bit difficult to create and reviews too and moreover it takes a lot of time to check everything first before you decide on website
Hello Maryanne,

WHEN I CAME ACROSS YOU, I IMMEDIATELY FELT YOU WERE THE KIND OF PERSON I COULD TRUST AND,MOST IMPORTANTLY,LEARN FROM.
AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MOVING ON AND BECOMING A SPONGE FOR ALL YOU THROW AT ME.

Thanx, Eric! Awsome, I follow your tips every morning. Thanx again

Thanks for your tips and useful to me and also to whom wants to start online business.
My advice to new comers:
Be cautious about scams(online)
I thought that before I watch the #2 video I would answer the Q.Do I want to run my own business?. . .my answer is, Without a doubt; ABSOLUTELY!! My journey in internet marketing began as a dream years ago but it didn’t become my passion until about 15mo ago. I began searching for ‘how to’ info, which lead to a ton of ’so called answers’ for how to make money online. Not all of them were a waist of $, and not all were rip offs, however, a very large % were worthless. A handful did have some good and even great material and they may very well have panned out if it had a ‘complete’ A-Z system. But because they were incomplete, it’s been like trying to bake an award winning dinner without ‘all’ of the ingredients. . .so, when you sit down to eat it, it turns out to be a big disappointment, to say the least. I know you all can relate. . .w/been there, done that. However, as frustrated and even angry at times that I’d be, mostly because I don’t or can’t find the answers, I’m still in the game. . .Someone sent me an email once that said, “how do you know if you’re addicted to internet marketing?” Answer: If when you go to the restroom you bring your lap-top instead of a magazine, you just may be addicted to internet marketing! I admit that, at the time, I was feeling a bit obsessed. But sooner or later
I knew if I kept at it the rewards would outweigh the failures. No Cost Income Stream has been an answer to my prayers. . . Organizing IM had been a nightmare until now and step by step from A-Z is the blessing I needed to stay on track. . .and I can’t say enough about the coaching! I can finally wrap my mind around what I’m doing instead of ‘guessing’ about what ‘might’ work. I got a long time ago, that I will never ‘figure it out’ and, by the same token, I knew I needed to network with others who truly love this business and are willing to share their experiences, ups or downs as we navigate our way to becoming financially independent and sovereign. . . Many Blessings to all who are here on this journey! And I especially send a Great Thank You to Eric, Paul, and Jeff for giving us a way to ‘Keep Our Dream Alive’. . .In Living Your Dreams, Sheron
Thanks Eric I love your clarity and down-to-earth approach. I have been persuing an online business for a very long time. Way longer than many people would stick at it I’m sure, but even in my moments of confusion and frustration I never feel like throwing in the towel. What does make it tough is being on your own so having this community will be a god send. One thing I have learnt is to block out as much ‘hype’ as possible that tries to lure you into the promise of quick results. I am looking forward to this journey with you guys.
hi.I am just on lesson#2 ,but even till now ,i can strongly say that i feel the difference !!what most on line business experts ignore ,it seems that paid attention to ,here ! to be accepted by audience !!That your audience believes you !!Not just to repeat all the frustrating empty promises we hear from othersjust in different words & phrases !
I also would like to suggest Eric to be as brief & frank as possible !
To make a long story short ,after receiving so many on line biz emails ,i feel that Eric is the one who has made me hopeful to finally understand what on line business is & how much you can rely on it as real way of making money !
I want an online business and I will wait for next lesson. Thanks
Eric, thank you so much for the thought provoking question. My answer is an emphatic yes. You are so right when you say that family members are bound to discourage you about starting an online business.
yes i want a business online…
Starting a business is a must.Everyone must learn how to start and run a business.The Job you are doing is not yours.One day you will get caught up with any of the 3Rs–Retrenchment,Resignation or Retirement.The earlier you start your own business the better.No Job can ever make you rich or fulfilled
Thanks Eric, Just listened to # 2 and the answer is a resounding yes!!!!
hi eric im going to stick with you for however long it takes-i found your page, im interested in what you teach-i want to learn from scratch
thank you, bring it on, im not going anywhere

Hi Eric
I submitted my previous message before finishing. Can I start up this business http://www.goforchessnow.com online from South Africa by using your methods like info products etc? It seems like only people from America are students of yours. I am at lesson 2 now and I enjoy your lessons very very much. You are a light shining forward for many people. I am so glad that I found your site and I know it is for a reason that I came across your site. Keep up the good work and remember God will greatly bless you for what you are doing.

Yes, there are many successful marketers based in South Africa. You may just be the next one!
Eric actually has many subscribers from all around the world!
Hi Eric
Thank you for this insightful venture. You are really great. God Bless
Good advice! I used to make $200 a month with google adsense before the furry animals panda and Penguin came along. Now I am back to square one. A new version of the original course I took just came out offering for different models to make money online. Right now I am utilizing the free method, using free websites and article directories to drive traffic. I will keep people posted on how it goes.
Right now I am utilizing the free method, using free websites and article directories to drive traffic. I will keep people posted on how it goes. What free address’s thanks
I’ve been running my online business for a number of years now, and although my family is very supportive, I know they were also very uncertain about my success for a long time. I do make a living from online business with some offline components but I am really looking for ways to address scalability. There’s so much to do to run a business by yourself.
I really want an online business and want to run it myself. It’s just that everyone says it can be done in a few clicks or in a few minutes, yet it’s proving to be so time consuming and expensive, and frustrating.
thank u eric for the lesson #2.
my question is..when can i tell my family (esp. my wife) about the online bussiness that i working on it now?..
Hello Marcel,
You may tell them right away if you wish. They might want to follow along with the lessons too!
Thank you very much Mr.Eric.

I am tired been trying to start a business on line but couldn’t start any yet because of my less experience on that field. But now hope full as I have found you and with your helpful advices.
Thanks and best regards.
This website is waiting for me to hook it up as it is only registered and my Hosting company Hostzilla are on standby the reason as to why I have not hooked into this website is that I was told I would have help in constructing it but after I paid for it there was no help available so I have delayed it .Answer to video 2 Do I want to try to make money over the Internet with an Online business Answer IS YES Cheryl.
Im quite relieved, looks like there is actually a decent mentor on the net who can direct a newbie like myself down the right path for succession online. I look forward to the next lessons!

yes, i want to run my own business
Hi Eric, Thanks for the lessons 1 and 2. I’ll be looking forward to the rest. I’ve been self employed since 1976, Sign business, Professional musician and the arts in general. Have sold stuff on ebay over the last five years but would really like to know so much more.
Best
Its great to be following your lessons! I have already taken a plunge in Internet Marketing w.e.f December 25′12 without knowing A B C of it. I tried with some Internet Learning Course and cancelled mid way as it was doing nothing to train me and interacting with the customer support was of no help despite blaw blaw. Now I have enrolled myself with DSIM in New Delhi and learning the basics. Its only from Vaibhav Vats, a Trainer, I learn about you and want to follow you until I am successful. In the last 2 days I have concluded that I need to redo my website. It would be great if I am get some important tips to improve my website.
Everbody offers their sofware but nobody tells me how to set up a website. Where to click next?
I do cover website creation in this lesson series
For me it is not a question of do I want to have a business.
I am one of the millions of senior citizens who can not live on my pension. If I can’t make money online, then I am just another greeter at Walmart.
Hey Eric!! Great lesson!! I have been asking my self this same question for the past 2 years and have come to the conclusion that I really want to have an online business. I have tried and failed at just about everything. Can barely wait to see lesson #3.
yes i want to have a online business.
i have a store now and i am open 9-5 and i have too much sit down time and it is getting old looking for something to kill my time with.
Hi Eric and All,
I already have an online business. I do consulting for off-line businesses. My problem is managing and keeping up with everything we have to do for our clients, in addition to our own marketing. I have a pretty good team fortunately
Yes Eric,
I do want a online business, but I seem to have a problem setting things up to make a website work for me, seems I waste a lot of time, then try to move on to something easier, lose track and move on again. Coaching is risky and soon it’s who do you trust? expense is a large factor.

Hi Eric
I am an oldster just taking baby steps in this vast internet business and am very interested and excited of these evolving lessons. Can’t wait for the next Lesson. I am raring to go and build a business. I am tired of being an affiliate and want to grow a business. I have loads of spare time. Thanks for the invitation to this learning experience. Carolena
“Do I want to run my own business” Of course I do! Otherwise I wouldn’t be here! Thanks Eric, great stuff. I have lots to learn tho, and like alot of you information overload is a real problem. I think just follow along with Eric and leave everything else alone till you have all his lessons. That’s what I am going to do.
I am excited to get started, and can’t wait till I have all his info. I’m sure it will work.
Hi Eric
I would love to have my own business, but have a fear of not doing it right and losing money that I can’t afford to lose or not really understanding just how to do thing, sometime it takes a while to understand what I just read.
Yvonne

Eric, How you doing, I’ve had the desire to have my own business for many years and tried to learn it here and there kind of self taught. There’s a lot involved with it and I have slowly been picking up bits and tips here and there.I have been in the air cond. industry for 32 years but got hurt and really can’t return to the job. My legs have been going out on me without warning and cause me to bite the dirt!I’ve been working on a book to sell and looking at affiliate marketing and trying to narrow in on my own product production.This course I feel will really give me some focus and direction and the knowledge needed to be a success
