An eBook is a big deal and can mean big profits for you.  One of the ways to get your eBook off to an outstanding start is to get some good testimonials for it before you launch it.  You’re probably wondering how to get testimonials for your eBook before a launch, and you might be a little bit panicked, thinking it’s an impossible task, but it’s really rather easy.

Some people make up testimonials or buy them. That may be OK for them but not for me – and really, wouldn’t you rather have true, authentic testimonials that you can feel good about?  If that’s the case, you can get testimonials for your eBook in a couple of different ways.

First, once your eBook is finished, edited and ready to go, send complimentary copies of it to friends, people you know in the business, big names, and gurus.  You could even send a free copy to a couple of your best customers.  Be up front with them and ask them to read the eBook and offer a testimonial.

Another way is to visit online forums and offer to give a free copy of your ebook to anyone willing to give a testimonial.  The Warrior Forum is always a good place to start – but remember to check out forums in your niche area too!

People in the business, including the gurus and big names will write testimonials because it’s good publicity for them.  Collect several good testimonials and post them on your eBook sales page and your website.

Make sure that your eBook testimonials are as authentic as possible and include the first and last name of the person submitting the testimonial, unless they’ve asked you not to use both.  This makes the person more real to the reader and the eBook testimonial more authentic.  Try including a photo of them as well.

Before you launch your eBook, be sure to collect at least a handful of solid testimonials so you can get your eBook off to a great start!  Expect to see the difference in your ebook sales!
