Your own personal success story is the most compelling way to pump out sales. The reason that a personal testimonial is so powerful is because NOBODY can argue with you or discredit it – it's your story!
If you do not have your own success story then I would strongly recommend using others success stories and testimonials to endorse the book.
This method of "pre-selling" is extremely powerful because it boosts enormous credibility in the prospective customer and removes a lot of distrust or skepticism prior to visiting the site. You can send out the testimonial to your friends in a casual email. Or you can set it up more formally in your newsletter, blog or website.
Here is a simple formula to use one when writing your own effective testimonial and success story:
* |
Before and after pictures speak louder than words. |
* |
Include body measurements if possible. |
* |
What were you specific results? This is your chance to brag! How much weight did you actually lose? How much was fat? How much energy did you gain? |
| * |
How did you feel before your achieved your goals (lack of confidence, low self-esteem, weak, intimidated etc?) How did you feel after your achieved your goals? |
| * |
How did your personal life improve? Did you find a girlfriend/boyfriend? Improve a relationship? Get more attention? Walk taller? Get a new job? Demand more respect? |
* |
Write in your own words and don't force anything that does not sound like you or unnatural. Write from your heart! |
