   Thanks to Erik and his expertise, I am actually now starting to earn money!

   I learned how fo ‘forward’ domains (of which I now have 1278 of!). About thirty or so are now fowarded.

   I have most “cash parked” with godaddy and I will “un-park” them, one by one as I start building original sites, like my first, original site (still in the works): http://host.inverseparadox.net/~troops

   It’s going to be a blog-driven, charity-based site supporting current and retired service men and women.

   All the best, and thanks again, Erik.

   I could not be where I am today without your help & support!

   Hey Erik!
   Great video you are totally right, people are hanging on, stronger than ever, to their small distractions to ignore what’s going on around them and it’s a perfect opportunity to market to them.

   BTW I love your niche research tutorial but at the same time I’m mad at you…

   You’re giving away all the good secrets!

   I hope you don’t get any more hurricanes.
   Cheers,

   Richard

   Eric,

   I like your down to earth sincerity. You really come off as someone who cares.

   We’ve had a daily reminder about the economy for the past year+. My husband has always been in the financial markets. He operates a financial planning business with an emphasis on securities, mortgages and yes….insurance. We all know how horrendous all of these markets are…and his recent income is a daily reminder to us of what is happening out there today.

   I’m going to share your video with him. He’s been an avid tennis player for over 30 years and I’ve been trying to convince him to take that passion to the internet and make something that he can love (instead of hating his daily grind of dealing with these financial markets he’s in).

   I have the know-how of internet marketing to get him started, but he still resists because he’s uncertain as to the money making potential of his tennis passion.

   Thanks for the video,
   Jane

   Erik;

   I just recently found you on the Internet you are my hero!

   I spent the last two years wondering around on the Internet buying products,that either were useless or way over my head.

   I have spent literally thousands of dollars,and did not learn a thing.
   It only make me depressed, overwhelmed and frustrated, to the point I just gave up!

   You see I would still call myself a newbie, as I have not accomplished my goals, of being able to make a living on the Internet.

   But I have learned how not to be scammed, by so called Gurus and their products.

   How do these people sleep at night?

   I’m a 60 year old women living on Social Security, that my husband gets, as he has Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease. I have really taken a beating
   tyred getting my money back to no avail.

   I joined an MLM niche market, which is probably the best thing I’ve done to date.

   But I still want the ability and knowledge to be able to be self sufficient by way of the net.

   Thank you for giving me hope again.

   Your Friend
   Darlene

   Hey Erik:
   Think your awesome. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy hearing from you.

   Hey Erik,

   Man, that was a great video. You’re right about everything you said, and I like your style of presentation. Yeah, it reminds me of that “old” Internet Marketing saying, “There’s Riches In Niches!”

   Indeed, the niche markets will never die because people are “creatures of habit” & live according to innate rhythms (or patterns) and, as such, will always need an escape from the everyday grind in order to relax their bodies & rejuvenate their minds, even if it’s only temporary.

   And, of course, unless they turn to drugs or some other destructive form of temporary relief that escape will be based around their “true” passion/s in life.

   This fact can easily be capitalized upon via the Internet at any given time & by any person… If they know how to do so, which is the job of Internet Marketers: To find out how to profit in niche markets.

   And you are giving people that edge in this industry by providing “real” HELP & VALUE for FREE… KUDOS to you on that, my friend! Keep up the great work & I pray that God blesses YOU & YOURS most abundantly.

   Best Regards,

   Michael Brock

   P.S. I’ve only been following you for a couple of weeks now and have only read / viewed a little of your work, but I can honestly say that your information is top-notch & well worth the time invested. Thanks!

   Eric, I really like the content of your posts, and appreciate it. Just a suggestion: would you please stand or sit still during the video? That wavy camera action gives me motion sickness. No kidding.

   Erik,

   I had seen this coming for a while, now. Not only did I want to overcome a dead end job, but I also knew that things were changing very fast and a ‘job’ just wasn’t going to do it anymore…(Actually, my job is pretty pleasant. I work for Whole Foods Market-Little Rock as a cook, and I actually like it. I just need more…)

   It’s time to change with the times, and adapt, while there is still time. I feel you, man.

   You’ve given a lot of free advice that has helped fan the flames of my new endeavor.

   I think you’re great, Erik, and I’m going to buy that ebook today!

   God bless!

   Hi Erik,

   Again, you clarify things so well, and give your viewers and readers hope for a better and brighter future. Thanks for sharing so much for nothing, and for the great price on your new ebook.

   Here’s to better futures for everyone!
   Donna

   PS: I have to agree with Janet… it’s dizzying and a little hard on the eyes to watch a video that has so much extra motion in it. You’re too good a speaker not to be watched intently because your honesty and genuineness just shine through!

    Hi Erik,

    I’m not surprised things are still down there. They were so down last winter I didn’t even feel it was safe to try flipping pre-foreclosure property– but may come back this winter to do some of that.

    I’m looking for JV partners right now to do the teleconference series we talked about. I’m hoping to find someone who is viewed as an expert on what is going on in Washington and can explain the impact once the dust settles in Congress. I want to be the first out with a teleseries that includes impact info from the anticipated “bailout.” I have a couple friends in real estate in CC who might be good candidates for this role.

    Erik,

    I think the timing of that video is excellent Erik and definately great advice. Your totally right about people not giving up their passions in tough times. They will cut back on anything else just to be able to afford whatever it is that they love.

    Thanks for the advice Erik.

    -Eddie
