So, how can you get those testimonials flowing in? There are three simple steps that you can follow, steps that can result in a flood of testimonials.

There are many ways to set up audio on your website. In my opinion, the easiest and best tool in the industry for gathering testimonials and putting them on your website is Audio Generator. You can find it at: www.NewAudioMarketing.com. It is very easy to use.

Here are three ways to get more testimonials

Just ask. Whenever you perform a service for your clients, ask for a testimonial. Send them an e-mail that says, "Dear Ray, Thank you for purchasing product X in the past. Could you spare a few minutes to tell us how you liked the product and the service you received? If you have something nice to say, we may even use it in our promotional material. Thanks so much for your cooperation." Of course, you don't have to use those exact words, but simply asking for testimonials can produce a flood.

Set up an ATM (Automated Testimonial Machine). This will work for you 24/7, in the background. You can see an example (mine!): http://rayedwards.com/feedback to see "Ray's Automated Testimonial Machine". This is a feature of Audio Generator.

Ask for them repeatedly (in your autoresponders). Set this on autopilot! Put the testimonial request e-mails into your autoresponder sequence. Over a period of days or weeks (whatever you feel comfortable with), you will ask, more than once, for your readers, subscribers, customers and prospects to give you their testimonials. And, of course, you will send them to your Automated Testimonial Machine!

These techniques will help you get a flood of automated testimonials. I use these tips, and they work. Give them a try, and start your own flood today!
