Double Check Your Testimonials Before You Post Them to Your Website

businesswoman_helpTestimonials can be a big deal if you’re launching a course, a program, a product, or even if you’re offering a service of some sort. I personally use testimonials for my information products and for my transcription service business.

Think of testimonials as awesome little tidbits that let the rest of the world know that you’ve been doing what you do for awhile and you’re not going to steal their money and run away. They don’t really think you’re going to do that, but seeing that other people have worked with you is a reassuring sort of thing and it helps get past those little specs of doubt floating around in the back of their mind.

Make Things Easier for Your Reader, Especially When You’re Being Instructional

pinI was working on a joint writing project with Alicia over the weekend when the topic came up and it just seemed like a blog post waiting to happen, so here I am.

We’re combining our efforts to create an ebook and during our back and forth I thanked Alicia for pointing to resources with links in her part instead of just assuming that people know where to go for something. You’d be amazed and astonished at how many people will put together instructional material and say things like “use Google Alerts” or “go to this tool online” and then not link it up or even provide an un-linked URL for those that might not be familiar with the tool or website being mentioned.
