People ALWAYS want to know – “Do I need testimonials to sell my Online Course?<\/strong><\/em>” – and here’s my answer – in brief: <\/p>\n

NO!<\/span><\/p>\n

OK, it’s only fair we dive a little deeper in to this.<\/p>\n

Most people will say you need a shit-ton of testimonials to sell virtually ANYTHING online – and this can leave you with ANALYSIS PARALYSIS<\/strong><\/a> rather than just getting the fuck on with things and LAUNCHING.<\/p>\n

Thing is – if you TRULY believe your course is DA BOMB<\/em><\/strong> – then why on EARTH are you holding back? <\/span><\/p>\n

If you know this is the BEST VERSION of your stuff – and you’ve CREATED it FROM the heart and you’re SELLING it from the heart – what more is there to say?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you waiting for permission<\/a> to launch? Is that what you’re saying? You won’t be ready until someone else says “OK, do it!<\/span>“? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Because you are the LIVING EMBODIMENT<\/strong> of what you are putting out there – your audience SEE you. They FEEL you. They ADMIRE you – and they want a slice of you… but not in a creepy Hannibal Lector way right?<\/em> \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n

You need to TRUST YOURSELF.<\/p>\n

Having 100 testimonials is great – BUT<\/em> – you need to TRUST YOURSELF<\/strong> and really FEEL that you are RIGHT and what you are doing is RIGHT.<\/p>\n

You don’t NEED<\/em> ‘validation’ from 100 other people to tell you that you’re on the right path.<\/p>\n

Your path is your path.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people feel icky asking for testimonials and unless you send over what I’d call a ‘semi-script’ then you’re likely to get a half-arsed written response anyway which is full of praise – but doesn’t quite make sense out of context and so doesn’t make for a great testimonial.<\/p>\n

It’s FAR BETTER to do it YOUR way – OWN IT and LIVE IT!<\/p>\n

Testimonials CAN be a useful part of your marketing armoury – but NOTHING<\/span> is as important as YOU having FAITH in YOUR CHOICES and DECISIONS!<\/p>\n

So fuck yeh… go gather your testimonials if that’s what you need. 20 strangers to say “yeh babe yeh<\/em>” – or you can just get over feeling you need the approval of others – and put your own shit out there knowing that it’s YOU – oh yeh… and you don’t accept criticism of YOU!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

BULLETPROOF Your<\/h1>\n

ROCK-SOLID SALES MACHINE<\/span> and Put on Your Big Girl Pants!<\/h1>\n

If your niche and marketing message <\/strong> aren’t super-clear<\/em> and hitting that sweet spot, then you’ll be hearing crickets<\/strong> – not<\/em> cash-registers<\/strong>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
