Testimonials – From Horror to Joy!

Rick, Thank you so much. I was feeling completely hopeless. My e-commerce site had a unfixable bug. I'd lost days of production time scouring the DIYthemes forums, Wordpress forums and trying to get my SP's tech support to help – no one could provide a solution to the "insufficient permissions" errors that I was getting. You took it upon yourself to reinstall WP and Thesis w/o losing any of my information and fixed my site!

You're the best. I look forward to doing the Membership site next. I've learned a ton in the past few months since I've joined your site.

Rick - you're emergency search and rescue is just what the doctor ordered! In under a half hour you were able to have my e-commerce website back up and running. In under 2 hours total, you were fully able to resolve the issue plus do some back of house cleaning to the files.

Your service saved me hundreds of dollars because within a couple of hours of being back online, I had three new orders come in, business I may have lost had it not been for your quick and efficient response. Thanks so much again Rick, your service is awesome!"

I had everything in place. My niche, the plan, the equipment and resources. When it came to website building and the proper structure and creation of my blog, I struggled. I am a guitar teacher and not a website creator. I searched for help on Google and found BYOBWebsite and Rick Anderson. From January 2014 to October 2014, i have booked three “Back on Track” Sessions with Rick, a direct coaching, using GoToMeeting.com.

I can’t stress enough how much Rick helped me to understand the connection between my ideas, my blog, google and my audience. He was the man who helped me to get ready to go online on August 26, 2014 with my blog (http://bluesguitartube.com). To be honest, it was a challenge. It means a lot of work, commitment and passion. But with Rick’s input, you start to focus on what REALLY matters and in the same time, he coaches you online in a step by step process to eliminate problems and mistakes on your WordPress blog. Further he assists in setting up Thesis right and last but not least, he’s a lovely and incredibly helpful man.

My blog and my audience is growing day by day, Rick deserves a big part of the credit for how everything is going. In the future, I will never hesitate to book another BOT (Back On Track) Program with Rick. If you are struggling with whatever may be big or small problems for you, book a “Back On Track Session” with Rick. You will benefit, your business will, as well as your overall happiness seeing your business grow!

I apologize if not every word here is perfect, I’m German speaking … but i think and hope my point came across: RICK IS YOUR MAN!!!

Thanks Rick for all, can’t express in words how grateful I am that I found you and that I booked your support. You are worth every second, could not invest better!
