One of my writing buddies
always gets a zillion reviews
when her stories release.
I asked her how she did it.
Her answer?
“At the end of every story,
I include the line
‘If you liked this story,
please leave a review’
and I give the direct link
to the review site.”
That’s it.
She asks for reviews.
That’s her big secret.
Christopher Litster
suggests methods to gain referrals
in other mediums
“Email.
Add this line to your signature:
“Know anybody who needs help with X?
Send them here,”
with the “here” being
a link to your website.
Newsletters.
Include the following at the bottom
of your newsletter:
“Thanks for reading.
Feel free to pass this along to your friends.”
You can even offer an incentive,
such as,
“Refer three friends and
I’ll send you a
[insert incentive,
such as a coupon or free report]
as a thank you.””
The internet makes it easier
for shy entrepreneurs
to ask for referrals.
Make this process automatic.
