Audio and video also add a TON of credibility to your testimonials, because your prospects actually hear and/or see the client or customer delivering the testimonial!
Audio is a snap to set up on your web pages using a great tool call Audio Generator. Have your customers/clients call their hotline and leave a voicemail testimonial. Then you just copy and paste the code onto your website! You can see samples of how I did this at Internet Marketing
If you own a website, are a member of a business club or if you simply want to market your business, Internet marketing is a way to connect to thousands of potential customers. However, marketing isn’t always easy to do and requires work and effort on your part. If you’re devoted however, than you’ll be able to successfully dominate your market and be successful.Internet marketing can be done many ways today, however I prefer one way to all the others. If you want to do Internet marketing this way, you’ll need to have a website.The
One of the easiest and most effective ways to do this - and increase your sales by leaps and bounds - is to feature TESTIMONIALS from your clients and customers. Testimonials may seem like a given, but many people completely forget to use them in their marketing.
You can never have too many testimonials. In fact, if you enjoy watching TV infomercials like I do, you've probably noticed a typical 30 minute spot is over 80% testimonials! And that's for good reason... they are the hands-down BEST way to gain instant credibility. So rack 'em up, and put them everywhere!
Here are 3 ways to make sure your testimonials sell FOR you...
1. Ask for RESULTS-ORIENTED Testimonials
The most effective testimonials are results oriented. That is, they share actual results your clients or customers have gotten. Also include numbers, dollar amounts, and/or percentages to get your prospect's attention and dramatically increase your response.
Lame testimonial: "Alexandria Brown's Online Success Blueprint course is a great guide to online marketing."
Awesome testimonial (and a real one, too!): "Thanks to the Powerful, Simple Strategies I Learned From Alexandria Brown's Online Success Blueprint, I Made $60,000 in TWO DAYS. I Will Easily Quadruple My Income in 2006. Thank you!"
2. Include Full Information on the Client or Customer
Have you ever seen shifty ads in the back of magazines with testimonials like this? "These super magic pills melted away 300 pounds of my extra weight overnight!" - E.B. in Wichita, Kansas.
Yah, right! I'm sure "E.B." is a real person and that's a real testimonial. Hmmm...
The more information you provide about your clients and customers, the more believable your testimonials are. Include full name, occupation or company name, city and state they're from, web address (if applicable), and a PHOTO. (Even a crappy photo, if that's all they have. It's important to make them REAL to your reader.) You can see samples of how I did this at http://www.ezinequeen.com/blueprintworkshop0306.htm.
3. Use Audio (or Video) Testimonials for Even Better Results

The responsibility of organising team building events is a huge task for anyone. Everything has to be planned and implemented with sheer precision. In addition to that, team building objectives would need to be incorporated into most activities. This is why the goal of the event must first be identified prior to the planning process.Once that’s done, it would be best to run a research on the various team building activities that will achieve the intended objectives of the organisation. Browsing through websites will give you an idea on ty watching TV infomercials like I do, you've probably noticed a typical 30 minute spot is over 80% testimonials!

While posting hiring ads in the newspaper or online can be helpful, a brainstorm I had at the barbershop has given me a new idea about how to let people know about new job openings.I am in the process of opening a new warehouse in Guelph, Ontario, and require 250 plus employees. Because of the magnitude of this hire, it is at the top of my mind: I tell everyone that I meet that I am looking to hire full and part-time shippers, receivers, dock hands, and other positions.I was at the barber’s getting my hair cut and mentioned this toight!" - E.B. in Wichita, Kansas.

Maximize Your Online Advertising Dollars (part 1)How much do you spend advertising your online business? How much money are you making from your online business? The two are directly related.
The adage, "You have to spend money to make money..." is an undeniable truth. You can't very well sell products if people don't know about them, and the way to tell people about what you've got, is to advertise.
ADVERTISING COSTS MONEY.

I'm also venturing into video testimonials using Instant Video Generator.
Bug, Then Beg. And If All Else Fails... Bribe!
If you have trouble getting testimonials from your clients or customers whom you KNOW have had great experiences working with you or using your products, don't get mad at them. You just have to bug them. It's rare you'll receive a testimonial unsolicited.
First, contact clients/customers whom you know have gotten great results thanks to you. Ask them if they can write up a short testimonial outlining their experience. They'll probably say "yes" but will forget to follow up or take a long time.
I then usually offer to write something up for them based on what they've shared with me, which I'll email to them for approval. Every time I've offered this, they are relieved and say "great!" And 99% of the time they are delighted with what I sent them.
As a last resort, and if you're dealing with clients/customers whom you may not know as well, I suggest offering an "ethical" bribe to encourage them. For example, have a contest and the people whose testimonials are chosen for your web page get a free prize or product. Gets them off their butts and works every time!
