Happy Thanksgiving!
Here we are in the 15th consecutive year that we’ve done this thankfulness exercise and contest. As I’ve mentioned for the past few years, I don’t post on this blog much anymore, but we’ve got to keep this tradition going as long as possible!
About half of Eric’s Tips readers are in the USA, where Thanksgiving is a national holiday today, but like I say each year… gratitude transcends all borders!
Keeping this tradition alive is a great opportunity to remind myself how thankful I am for all of the subscribers and customers that have allowed me to have this business for so many years.
So first of all… I want you to know that I’m thankful for YOU. I’m really grateful for your readership and support. Whether this is your first time participating in our annual Thanksgiving contest, or your 15th, thank you for being a part of it.
As usual, I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I thank God for life and for all He has done for me.
One of the biggest “events” in my life this year was adding another member to our family through fostering. I’ll share more details about this sometime in the future. We are so thankful for this opportunity and for bringing even more love into our family.
Here’s a recent family portrait, taken in our backyard by our friend @talliejohnsonphoto …
I’m grateful that I’ve continued to be able to enjoy the outdoor activities I love, and I spent more time alone in the wilderness this year than in the past. I also rekindled my passion for fishing, which is a pursuit I fell in love with as a kid.
I caught more fish this year than in the previous several years combined. I practice catch and release (I let them go!), and my favorite fish of the year were the ones I caught in the beautiful high alpine lakes of Colorado with species including rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, cutbow trout, tiger trout, and lake trout to name a few 😉
As much as I’m tempted to turn this into a brag-post by blowing it up with dozens of fish pictures, I’ll refrain from it, as that’s not the point of this exercise! But if you’re interested in seeing my fish pics and other outdoor exploits you can join Strava and follow me here: https://www.strava.com/athletes/eric_holmlund
I’ve continued my quest to capture and post at least one image of beauty every day that I am able.
Next, here are a couple of free ebooks as a token of my appreciation.

You can also resell them, or use them as lead magnets.
Now, it’s your turn! Here is the 15th annual Eric’s Tips Thanksgiving contest!
It’s a good thing to express your gratitude for what you’re thankful for. In fact, it’s been shown to have health benefits.
So once again, we are going to do a group exercise to demonstrate our thankfulness.
All you have to do is post a comment below saying something you’re thankful for. It could even be just a few words. There are no bonus points for writing more or writing better. It’s about participation.
In a few days, I will choose 10 comments at RANDOM, and will send $20 via Paypal to each to those 10 people! It’s a small way for me to share a bit of the harvest. I will also announce the winners here on this post, as usual.
If you need examples or inspiration feel free to check out any of the previous years.
Please post a comment below and let us know what you’re thankful for 🙂
NOTE: Your comment will not appear right away, but don’t worry. I’ll check them and approve them periodically.
Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for life.
Jesus Christ
I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends, but mostly God for giving me the gift of life and salvation.
Hi Eric.. I’m grateful for you as well! You’ve over-delivered all these years I’ve been purchasing either your products, or those You’ve endorsed. I also share a lot of your ideals, and it’s quite refreshing in a world that is difficult to navigate in its current conditions. All we can do is pray for those who need an awakening.
I am thankful for forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
I am thankful for my wife, family, and new grandsons. Plus thankful to God for making a way to be with him in Heaven.
Grateful for the fact that I’m still alive after a life changing Illness and getting stronger each and everyday.
The older I get the more thankful I become!
The older I get the more thankful I become for each additional day to appreciate family and friends. Also to get another chance each day to make a positive forward moving difference.
Gayle Sayers once said, ‘ I am third.’ and by that he meant that what I’m most thankful for are, the Lord is first, and my friends and family are second, and I am third! I feel exactly the same way with one exception.. the Lord my God is first and always will be, my family is second and I love them to eternity, and Eric Holmlund is third because he is one- of -the most honest Internet Marketer’s around that when he comes-out with a product I know it’s the real deal and I can buy it with confidence and not worry that I have been scammed.. like I said, Eric is the real deal.. period.
Yes, thankful for Salvation through Jesus Christ!
I am thankful for the database skills I have developed over the years.
I’m grateful for God, without His grace, I wouldn’t be here.
Here in the UK I have just spent an hour talking to my aunt. She is 100 years old in 10 weeks time and she has invited us to her party. She is also a Christian so we will be attending the celebration at her local church so I am grateful to God for a large family and for having Christian parents myself (who long ago went to Heaven!)
Eric, what an incredible Clan you have. So cool to see an updated family picture after all these years. And congratulations to both of you for providing a wonderful life for all of these humans. Who, it looks like, are in turn creating their own lives. For me this thanksgiving, I am thankful that I have meaningful work, meaningful relationships, and a really great relationship with my wife. I’m grateful to live in the beautiful state of Jolorado, and get to experience fresh air in the mountains everyday. I’m grateful that travel is back and that we can once again move internationally and meet with friends who live primarily on other continents.
Eric, thank you very much for the $20 as well! Much appreciated!

the blessing of the American experience.
Thankful for the progress of both my ministries and online projects for this year. It was an awesome year, and hoping for more improvement in the things that we do. 🙂

I’m thankful for being alive and for my family and friends.
I am thankful for my current health and my courage to finally start my online side hustle, I know that if I continue forward and believe that I will be rewarded for my efforts.
Most importantly I am thankful for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Next, I am thankful that I could still smile, breathe and watch my child grow.I am thankful that although I may not be able to give my son all that he wants I could still cover his basic needs and teach him the wisdom that is given to me as I ask it from God.
I’m humbled and grateful for His Word for it is the precious. Yes thank God for God! I wish His Word to reach and get into everyone, because that is how we will be okay no matter what the world puts us through. We say we believe in God, but do we believe Him? That’s the key. He has redeemed me more than once so I speak from experience <3 — We need Him. And since I know what He can do in a life, I am most thankful of His open invitation of Love to anyone who will let Him in! Peace <
Eric is a true blessing in the internet marketing world and the world of truth, kindness and honesty. Happy Thanksgiving.
Appreciative!
I am thankful for the internet because without it I would not have so many opportunities to make money.
