How to Get Testimonials

[lewisdc]

Hey,

Sometimes it's hard getting testimonials for your muse when you're just starting. I thought we could help each other out by providing testimonials and reviews of each others products.

Would anyone be interested in this?

I had the idea that anyone who posts could then review the top 3 people above them and give them reviews that way everyone will get at least 3 testimonials.

Anyone interested?

Unless people are using an alias on these forums then they probably won't participate, because it's going on record that you have testimonials/reviews that are incentivized and not natural. Some people don't worry about such things, but many have heard horror stories of competitors vetting other businesses and exposing such things.

The best way to get your first reviews is to coddle your first customers.

What I would do to get testimonials would be to offer my product at a very low cost as a beta, you can promote it in squidoo, the warrior forum, even here, you say it's just a beta, if it is lets say an ebook you can sell it at 10 bucks first, then ask for comments about it, and then you'll not only have some nice testimonials but also a review about what you can do better and you can modify it

if it is a physical product, you can sell it at the same price that took to produce it, and then do the same and ask for comments, good luck :D

Hey excellent thread!

I have previously gave away my products in the beginning (similar to a beta) or done a limited quantity release.

Then I ask for feedback and who-la I have some testimonials.
