I know everyone has been to web sites for any internet marketing product and you see bunch of testimonials from their clients about how they made $34,084.38 in two weeks. Are these really true or just more bs on getting you to buy their product? I'm just curious. What do you think?
Can't say for sure but seems FAKE to me, specially you see an email in your mailbox saying new products blah blah and then you visit the site, you see a mile long sales pitch letter with many testimonials. Come on, the product is new and people have already made money...wow..!! So hard to believe. But, it may be true who know...As far as I am concerned, I don't believe. But that's just me.
I know it is possible to be faked. But if You see it in a big guru's website usually it's true. What happens is that a lot of times they give a beta test to some coaching students or any kind of initial small groups. They do this so they can have the testimonials when the product launchs officially. I've studied with a few of those gurus and they always say that if You make things up it will somehow come out in Your copy or email marketing or whatever. On the other hand sometimes those are "general" testimonials, I mean, maybe they worked with that guru in some other program and got those great results submited testimonial, etc. I also think that a lot of those testimonials are from students who are more advanced and that already know a lot more than the regular dude, getting started. Others are from coaching programs where they have a kind of support that You can never have buying low entry products. This is just my opinion anyway!
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Look, all top marketers work with each other to promote each others products and most 'testimonials' are made up. Having said that I know that some of them are genuine when the product really delivers what it promises. I can think of a recent launch that fits this category as I got a free pre-launch copy of it. It was a really good product.
Regrettably you should not take the testimonials at face value. As a web content writer I have been hired by several of them over the years to write "testimonials" for their "great super make you a million dollars today" products. Never saw the products, just wrote pretty much what they wanted it to say. It's a job. caveat emptor
I doubt it is as black and white as some here are making it out to be. Here is how most things work. Some of the testimonials are true of course and some are false and some have truth to them, but have been let us say tweeked for maximum impact.
Most of them are from the top well known guru's that we all seem to hear about a lot. I can't really tell if there words are true or not. But it does get you thinking and most likley you'll signup in hopes of making large sum's of money. I know i'm honest but who the hell will believe me? I won't pay people to lie about making 30,000 dollars with a program. It's just not right and i am to nice of a guy to do it.
I'm sure 99.9% of the testimonial is fake. Its used to drive people in believing its true and buy the product. Some even hire people to use voice to leave testimonal to make it look real
I think that some of them are FAKE, however there are also some that are very true. The ones that I know are true that I have heard I have actually spoken with them on the phone during a conference call. These testimonials can be heard at showmethefreemoney.info Bobby N.
i don't believe in those.. and i will no reveal no matter how much i make.. if u believe in what i say or not, it's ur choice.. that's my 2 cents LOL
Most of the time the testimonials are false just to attract the customer. False testimonial is another way of CHEAP marketing.
Most of the time the stuff they say is "true", but they always leave out a lot of details that let you know it's never as good as it sounds. Things like "I spent 99% of this revenue on advertising in order to make it".
How easy would it be for you to write a testimonial on your website. All that mlm stuff is a scam. They sell hope and dreams and nothing more. Though, if you are really good perhaps you can scam your way to 34k in two weeks.
many people think they are fake, so video and audio testimonials can be better than text ones... The good thing about selling on a forum is you have itrade and other members to back you up...
