Here is what people are saying about Rick Upshaw

PhilippinesTyphoon.org

“When several killer typhoons hit the Philippines in late November of 2009, Rick Upshaw was right there ready to help.  While the typhoons were pounding Metro Manila flooding the entire area, Rick Upshaw worked more than 70 hours straight building a website for the cause of helping to raise awareness for the victims of the Philippines typhoons and the resulting Philippines floods at http://www.PhilippinesTyphoon.org.  He then led a worldwide network of internet pros in marketing the site to help the site dominate the search engines for our targeted keywords, which he accomplished in far less time than anyone thought possible.  He then built a network of volunteers who now administer the site with very little oversight from Mr. Upshaw at all.

“As a direct result of the efforts of Rick Upshaw, it’s quite possible and even probable that hundreds – if not thousands – of victims are still alive today as a direct result of his efforts.  Our site gets an incredible amount of traffic now, and people are still regularly donating to our cause.  You can read more about what we think of Rick Upshaw at http://www.PhilippinesTyphoon.org/contributors.

“Thanks, Mr. Upshaw!”

MITASCO, Ltd.

“I have known Rick Upshaw for a long, but I have to admit that what Rick and his team did for our website took me totally by surprise!

“I called Rick with some issues I was having with some coding issues. You see, I was trying to do a small website for my company myself to save some money for my company. I just had a few technical questions I wanted answered.  Rick insisted that I let him (and one of his companies, American Marketing Solutions) put together a website and do some marketing for us.  His point was that if I thought his professional services might be expensive, wait until you see how expensive it is to have an amateur do it – especially if I was doing it myself.  After seeing the work he did for us, all I can say is this:  ”How right he was!”

“Once I made the decision to have Rick Upshaw help us, our site was up and running much, MUCH sooner than I expected it to be!  Within a couple of weeks, Rick Upshaw and his crack team of internet professionals had my company listed on the first page of Google for our targeted keywords.  There is no doubt in my mind that we must have saved thousands of dollars (so far) by using the services of Rick Upshaw and his team, and that’s not to mention the fact that my time is now freed up to do what we do best and focus on our core revenue-generating functions.  I’m even more certain that we’ll be doing more business together in the future as he helps us monetize our website and implement marketing strategies he’s helping us with.  Rick Upshaw has helped us define our marketing strategies as well as implementing them, and he’s done so for a fraction of what it would have cost us to do the same thing elsewhere or in any other way (especially if we had decided to stick with our original plan of stumbling around in the vast darkness of the internet trying to do it ourselves!)

If you’re looking to slash your marketing costs and increase revenue and productivity, Rick Upshaw is the only one to do business with.  Call him today!
