Setup an autoresponder which will kick off an automatic email with a link to download when people submit. Here is a sample form: To complete survey, follow these instructions: 1) Click "REPLY" button in your email program. 2) Type your responses between brackets. 3) When finished, click "SEND" button. Once we receive your comments, free gift will be on it's way! To answer, type an X between two brackets like this [X] 1.What is your overall rating of this product on a scale from 1 to 5 ( 5 being best)? [ ]1 - poor [ ]2 [ ]3 [ ]4 [ ]5 - excellent and so on... Whether via email or webform, make sure you automate process so that it all happens without human intervention. You don't have time to be manually emailing people & with autoresponder software, you don't need to. You may be asking yourself how to sell any products in 1st place if you need testimonials to sell your product & you need to sell your product to get testimonials (makes me dizzy just thinking about it)? You make 'em up of course ==> NOT!!! You setup your website to sell, but you test market your product initially. Offer it at a reduced price or even for free. Offer powerful incentives to get people to try product. If you have an opt-in email list ( YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE) & it is pulling in some subscribers, offer them (via email) an incentive for participating in a product survey. If your survey feedback tells you that your product stinks, then improve it & re-start cycle. This should happen throughout life of product. Once you have a few testimonials under your belt, pop them onto your website & set your price to what you really want. But keep prompting for testimonials as long as you sell product. ==>MARKETING TIP<== DON'T BURY THE TESTIMONIALS ON A LINKED PAGE!!! Make sure you embed short excerpts from your testimonials in main page. Use them to add credibility & punch to your overall marketing copy. You should also have a link to full text of testimonials if they are not displayed in full on main page. Ken Evoy has a great method for displaying testimonials using a drop down form.
