The Power of Testimonials

Convincing people that your product or service is actually any good can be difficult, especially online

where people may have been burned in the past. Most people won’t buy from you without some sort of pre-existing relationship, and anything that boosts your credibility can clearly only be a good thing.

Before people invest in your product or opt-in to your list they want to be sure that they aren’t wasting their time or money.  This is why testimonials are so powerful - they have far more credibility than anything you write yourself simply because they are someone else’s opinion.

So how do you get testimonials? Start by getting into the habit of asking anyone who buys from you to give you their opinion. If your product or service is actually of good quality then the feedback you get should be overwhelmingly positive. Try producing a short questionnaire and send it to all your customers. Obviously not everyone will oblige, but  those who do may give you valuable quotes that you can use as testimonials in your business.

Another strategy is to give away copies of your product to other marketers on the basis that they will give you their honest opinion – and make sure it is honest as well! It is quite easy to get people to give you testimonialssince it is free advertising for the other person and boosts their own credibility.

Where should you include testimonials? You should definitely put them onto your sales pages and squeeze pages, but there are other places too – in emails to your list or posts on your blog.

You can also go beyond the testimonial by producing case studies. Has one of your customers had a success story because of your product? If you can produce a good case study you’ll help people to understand more about your offering, whilst also re-assuring them that it is the right thing for them. 

Case studies can make excellent press releases too, giving your online PR a boost and getting you some valuable free advertising and coverage in the media if your press release gets picked up by publications.

MONEY MAKING IDEA #6

Intensive Give-Aways


Difficulty: Intermediate/Difficult
Cost To Use/Implement: Free-$500
Time & Effort Involved: 1-7 Days
Ways To Use/Implement: 1-2


Description: First, let me explain what an 'Intensive Give-Away' is so that you can better grasp the impact of it to your online earning potential. An Intensive Give-Away is an online activity in which hundreds of people get together to build their mailing lists through offering free items whether that be products or services. Most times, these are digital products or services to make things go more smoothly for all participants such as ebooks, softwares, scripts, web hosting accounts, ecourses, and similar.

The most exciting thing about Intensive Give-Aways is that unless you are personally running the whole show, it won't cost you one thin dime to participate. Now, not only is this a terrific way to build your mailing list, or add new subscribers to your existing list(s), it also provides you with a chance to earn a little extra 'on the side' cash.

So just how do you do this?

As explained in Money Making Idea #5, you will need to have a squeeze page already set up. This is not very difficult to do. In fact, once you've made up one, you can use that one as a template, or base, to create others giving your subscriber sign up page a look and feel that matches that of the Give-Away. Or, you can opt to keep it really simple and just send the Give-Away participants to your existing page without changing anything.

The real magic comes in after you have collected a new subscriber. And that is through the One-Time-Offer page. You do this through a simple additional line of code to your subscription 'Submit' button.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there that don't know how to do this. Well, you have it now and I highly suggest you use it! What happens with the above code is that once a person decides to subscribe to your ezine/newsletter, fills in their information, and hits the 'Submit' button, they will immediately be taken to another page in place of the tired old 'thanks for subscribing' page.

Now you have the power to put in front of them whatever you wish to. Of course you should include a little “Thanks for signing up to XYZ mailing list.” on the page. But the real magic is what else you include, a la the one-time-offer!

Make it something really hard to pass up on too for maximum effect. And remember to add in the page that they will only be presented with this offer once and never again. A fantastic ebook on this entire process is Free Report. And I highly suggest you pick it up so you come away with a clearer understanding of how to use this process to double your online earnings.

Believe me when I tell you this method works like gangbusters! I have personally purchased more products through this method than from anything else. It instills a fear of loss that makes you want to buy now. And if it is a true bargain, I'll pick it up. Especially if it's something I can resell to my own list later.

So, with an Intensive Give-Away, you can become a contributor for free, download all the free products everyone else is offering, pick up hundreds of new subscribers, and make yourself a little extra cash on the side.

Some Marketers will argue that you cannot get any good, responsive subscribers from give-aways such as these. But this simply is not true. You can get plenty of great, loyal subscribers through these types of events. Sure, you will have a higher-than-normal unsubscribe rate, but remember what I said earlier about that in the previous Money Making Idea? That's not always a bad thing and it's nothing personal either.

MONEY MAKING IDEA #2

Article Writing/Submission


Difficulty: Easy
Cost To Use/Implement: Free
Time & Effort Involved: 10-60 Minutes
Ways To Use/Implement: Several


Description:
Hmm, more writing?!? Yep, you guessed it. But this, again, isn't very difficult to do. In fact, it can be easier than idea #1 since you only need to write up a 300-500 word article that showcases a particular product you are an affiliate of(see Money Making Idea #1). Or, if you really want to pull in the cash, try writing up some articles about something YOU have created yourself.

B-u-u-u-T, if you really want to make some great profits, then how about writing up a collection of, say, 10 articles and selling them? That's a great way to make some quick loot. And, to prove it works, have you seen all those "PLR Article Packages"?

Yeah, they include Private Label Rights so that people who purchase them can add their name as the author and change up the content to fit their needs, but the point here is that they SELL, and sell WELL. Keep that in mind. Now, does that mean that once you sell these articles you can no longer use them for your own web sites or articles? No Way! You can STILL use them. But a bit of advice, change up the articles by adding NEW content to them so they are different from the ones you sold. You'll have better luck with them as far as selling something through posting the aritcles go.

Even though you can also make money by giving your articles away for others to use in a packaged set, like some other free membership sites do. Which is another fantastic idea that has more than just one benefit, such as, building your own mailing list of perspective buyers, using the "upsell" to get your current members to purchase your other goods from you, and so on. These free types of memberships are great for using Money Making Idea #8 too!

All right, now you know the approximate length the article should be, but what about format? Meaning what should the article look like when it's finished?

The main thing is for the article to flow in a logical way. In other words, it should make sense to the reader and not jump all over the place. It should have a POINT and lead your readers to take a specific ACTION.

Oh, and of course it should be in the classic: Beginning, Middle, End, format. And ALWAYS remember to include a 'Resource Box'. Here's a quick example of a resource box for you to use in your articles:

Lastly, what should you write about? Here's the easy answer, pay attention, because it's so simple, you just may miss it. . . .

ANYTHING!

Yes. You can effectively write an article on any subject you like, so long as it fits in your scheme of subject matter you are specializing in. Although, you can also 'break the mold' and write on an entire different subject matter each and every time you write up your own articles. Nothing about making money online is ever set in stone and you can always go in a different direction. This is what is called 'carving out niches'. And many people do well by leaving the creative door open, so to speak. But, you should always KNOW what you are writing about if you ever want other people to take you seriously as an "authority" on it.
