Ken English | December 1, 2008Straight forward, sincere and patient. Dr. Ron Capps, aka the NicheProf, is one of the most trust-worthy ‘gurus’ I’ve had the opportunity to have met. His unassuming, laid-back style is in stark contrast to many of the high-energy, hyper-active salesmen who have achieved online success. The NicheProf is accessible. Unlike many of the wizards of the web, he makes one feel like a friend, rather than client.
Dr. Ron Capps - A Trustworthy Mentor Dr. Ron Capps first
Carlton Flowers | December 1, 2008Dr. Ron Capps - A Trustworthy Mentor
Dr. Ron Capps first came into my radar screen because of his location (I used a Twitter application to find local tweeters). I am a resident of Jefferson City, Missouri, which is the capital city. Dr. Capps is also a Missouri resident, on the western part of the state in St. Joseph. I was pleasantly surprised to find a “guru”, so to speak, in my own home state! After studying Ron’s Twitter posts and reading his blog, I finally listened to him on Blogspot Radio. I was just overwhelmed with deep knowledge of social media that Dr. Capps was “preaching” about on Blogspot. He was amazing! But what cinched it for me was the fact that Ron replied to my greeting via Facebook (at 1am one late night) and even offered to speak with me in-person. I was blessed to have spoken to Dr. Capps on two occasions, and I look forward to popping in to pay him a personal visit at the Northwest Missouri State University the next time I am in St. Joseph. Talking to Ron is like talking to a family member. He’s one of the nicest people you will come across. That’s why I have chosen him as one of the very few people I can call “mentor” in the world of social media marketing.

Rene Remington | December 1, 2008Dr Ron Capps - Easy to be with Easy to talk with and he Listens to You.
I first met Dr Ron at an ISS Conference in Orlando, FL must be at least 3 years ago. I had the pleasure to be seated next to him. It was my first of these type of things and he so overwhelming
extended his knowledge and genuine care. My heart opened up with joy as I felt, he knew what he was talking about and was unafraid to let others know the nitty gritty. We have connected over the past few years at a couple of others conferences and I continue to follow him and attempt to emulate him as best I can. Believe me that a big undertaking too. It is a great pleasure to add my vote here. You Know what they say. If you made a friend eventually they will be your customer. Lots of things are timing, sometimes you just can’t push the River. Go Dr. Ron go get em. ooooo
One hell of a Guy. Sincere and with a wealth
Brian Egerton | December 1, 2008One hell of a Guy. Sincere and with a wealth of knowledge. He does cost me though. - If he recommends something I buy it - I mean to look later. On the other hand everything that I have “looked at” later has earned me money. - I travelled a few thousand miles last time to hear Ron speak and it was worth every penny.
Follow the Niche Prof - You will never regret it!!

Scott Atwood | December 1, 2008I Love Being On His List - because he actually provides relevant , quality products at great prices. And TONS of priceless knowledge and direction - if you are willing to search for it. Never a bunch of insincere hype of the latest re-hashed google-slapping product.
Thanks to Dr. Ron I have been introduced to several “true” Social Networking arenas that I would surely have never stumbled upon (no pun) on my own. Do yourself a favor — get on his list. You will actually want to open his emails so that you do not miss out on something cool. This guy is wealth of Information and a Mentor…. By the way - how did Guru ever end up being a synonym for “Sell anything that I can to anyone that will buy it even though I know it won’t do anything but make me rich”? In that sense , Dr. Ron is NOT a Guru!

Lawrence Hoyle | December 5, 2008Ron Capp is number 1 in my book. I met Ron three years ago at the Internet Success System conference in Atlanta. He is a walking Internet Marketing and Social Networking Encyclopedia. He is always ready to help others to succeed. If you haven’t joined is mailing list,
you are missing out on his great information and down to earth quality products at cheap prices. He is the best!! Continued success Ron

Gary C. | December 5, 2008Dr. Ron Capps is honest and deals with a servant’s heart!
I have had many dealings with Dr. Ron. He is honest, helpful, answers his phone, and will go out of his way to help you, even if you do not buy from him. I have purchased many products from Ron Capps and have always been extermely pleased.
Once there was a glitch with the transfer of a digital product that I had purchased from Dr. Ron. He worked on it for 3 days until it was resolved and even talked to me on the phone until the problem was solved and the product was in my hard drive.
Do yourself a favor and try Dr. Ron before you buy anywhere else. You shall be joyful that you did!
I like Ron...very trustworthy!

Dr. Ron knows his stuff! I first met him 3-4 years
Anne Holmes | December 9, 2008Dr. Ron knows his stuff!
I first met him 3-4 years ago, and at that time he was just dipping his feet into the “expert pool,” and as I recall - Web 2.0 didn’t even exist yet!
Now he’s my “go to” guy when it comes to finding out about the latest wrinkles in Web 2.0 and social marketing.
It has been a pleasure to watch Dr. Ron blossom into the Niche Prof in the years since the Joel Christopher Internet Marketing Cruise where we met!
Can’t wait until he opens the doors to his latest venture in January! Watch for it - I’m sure you’ll be bowled over!
