Testimonial Donut’s Post

I've updated my LinkedIn header to bring in the Testimonial Donut Brand and ensure that people visiting my profile are directed to our website. I decided to be bold about what we do at Testimonial Donut and would love your thoughts. All feedback is welcome. I realise I could be 'off the mark' with this. "Let's fix your crappy testimonials. Because boring doesn't sell." My thinking is this: We're finding that when businesses spend a bit of time on their testimonials and reviews, customise them to match their brand and put in a specific plan to get video testimonials, the results are so much better. Is it too direct? Not direct enough? Is the messaging muddled? I feel like I'm too close to be objective and get this right. But I'm not a fan of the normal run-of-the-mill copy that most brands use. Would love to hear what people think about this. Cheers. #testimonials #reviews ------------------------------------ If you want to follow along, I run a few side bets with Farzan Maghami: Testimonial Donut - Helping businesses collect and showcase testimonials & reviews Founderoo - The newsletter for founders about founders Kaddim - Document & information collection for those still stuck on email We post regularly on LinkedIn, sharing the real ups and downs of building a SaaS business.

I sell $12k-$100k offers through LinkedIn. All without: - using pods - chasing likes - posting selfies - being vulnerable - sharing sob stories - engaging 6-8 hours a day My strategy is simple: I teach my ideal customers. To the point where they could build a brand strategy themselves. That's easier said than done. Because I took years to: → Know my ideal customers → Understand their pain points → Develop a differentiated POV → Hone my brand strategy skills → Distill complex topics into easily digestible posts You don't need gimmicks to sell high-ticket offers. Know your sh*t. Be different. Educate. Do that for years. I promise you'll win. ✌🏼 #shftyourbrand

Hey Linkedin tribe, Today we'll talk about the power of testimonial ads. Why are they so effective? Well, let’s break it down with some awesome examples I’ve come across recently. The Magic of Testimonial Ads 1. Building Trust: Testimonials come directly from satisfied customers, adding authenticity and credibility to your brand. It’s like a friend recommending a product – you’re more likely to trust it! 2. Relatability: When potential customers see someone they can relate to sharing their positive experience, it resonates more deeply. It’s not just about the product; it’s about real people and real stories. 3. Highlighting Benefits: Testimonials often highlight specific benefits and real-world results. This helps potential customers understand exactly what they can expect. 4. Emotional Connection: Hearing a heartfelt story can create an emotional connection. It’s powerful when someone shares how a product has genuinely improved their life. Testimonial ads can be a great way to overcome last minute buyer's remorse and overcome the last objection someone may have when it comes to purchasing a product. Testimonial ads are a goldmine for building trust, creating emotional connections, and showcasing real benefits. They bring your brand to life through the voices of happy customers.

❌ STOP CHASING THE CROWD! They say. It’s true!! Nothing comes easy. Everything needs hard work. But if you’ve been dreaming of something bigger for a long time and want it more than anyone around you, guess what? It’s a sign! 🤗 We are given a vision. It’s up to us how we make it real. When I started selling Digital Products, I had no idea what I was doing. I had zero experience in this kind of business. I only saw posts on Instagram and Facebook of people earning ₱50k or ₱35k a month. At first, I didn’t believe it. I thought maybe it’s just another scam! 🤣 But I gave it a try. I followed people who were already doing it. I researched and made sure it was halal. I even bought a course and followed it step by step. My first month? No sales. Zero. Haha. I felt discouraged and thought, “Maybe this isn’t for me.” But I realized I needed to stay consistent. In any field, consistency is key. So I pushed myself, bought another course, and learned even more. Here’s what I discovered: 👉 How to start your own digital product business from scratch 👉 How to create products using Canva 👉 How to rebrand templates 👉 How to launch your own business 👉 How to promote it on social media And so much more... I also learned that I didn’t need to create my own products because it takes too much time. There’s something called MRR or Master Resell Rights, which means you can sell a digital product you bought, and you keep 100% of the profit. It’s great, especially for beginners, because you don’t need to spend time creating products. If you want to learn this skill for extra $$$—or if you’re planning to leave your 9-5 job—this is for you too. Comment “RAKET,” and I’ll send you a guide I made just for you! 🥰🙃 ♥️ Message me if you have any questions or need support.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐖𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐈𝐭 Right, let’s cut to it—there’s one mistake nearly every business makes with their content, and it’s probably holding you back. You’ve likely done it too. What is it? ❌ Making it all about you. Posts like: • We’re proud to announce… • Check out our latest service… • Here’s what we’ve been up to… You might be doing it without even realising. Don’t get me wrong—your work is amazing, but here’s the thing: your audience doesn’t care about your achievements to that extend "Not really!?". They care about how you solve their problems. Here is how you swap the script: 1. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬. Think about what’s keeping your ideal customers up at night. Lead with that. 2. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. Swap “We’ve launched a new service” for “Struggling with XYZ problems? Here’s something that can help.” 3. B𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨. Position yourself as the one helping them succeed, not the one looking for applause. It’s a small tweak, but trust me, it makes all the difference. The moment your audience feels you’re speaking directly to them, they’re hooked. The message here is that; Content isn’t about what you want to say—it’s about what they need to hear. Try asking yourself: what would my customers love to see from me today? Let’s switch from the “look at me” content and create posts that actually connect!

This is why you’re NOT making money—and probably NEVER will. If you’re sending messages like this: "Let's work together" “Hey, I’m XYZ. Can we please work together?” “Hi, I’d love to work with you...” Stop. These types of messages not only go ignored but can also irritate your prospects. You risk being blocked or labeled as spam. Why? Because generic outreach doesn’t work anymore. Follow this 4-step rule to kickstart your pitching game and win over your clients: 1.📍Start with purpose, not desperation. Don’t just say “I want to work with you.” Show them why they should care. Do your research. Identify their pain points and explain how you can solve them. 2.📍Deliver value before you ask for anything. Instead of begging for a chance, prove your worth. Share a sample, a case study, or a creative idea tailored specifically for their brand. For example, if you’re pitching a tech brand, show them a short post or campaign idea designed just for them. 3.📍Ditch the lazy CTA “Let’s hop on a call” is a weak close. Instead, provide something valuable. Record a screen-share video explaining how you can help, upload it to a Drive link, and include a clear CTA like “Check out my video to see how I can elevate your brand.” 4.📍Show that you care about their success, not just yours. When your pitch is focused on helping them grow—not just on getting a paycheck—they’ll want to work with you. Show that you’re here for them, and you’ll stand out from the noise. Sending weak, generic messages is why you’re not making money. Offer real value, be specific, and prove you care—that’s how you’ll land clients and grow your business. P.S- To be honest, this post probably wasn’t meant to be here… but I shared it anyway because what’s the fun in growing alone? Let’s all level up together.✨ If you find this helpful, feel free to engage or connect—I’d love to hear how it works for you! #pitching #salescall #Linkedinbranding #personalbranding #socialmediamanager

Testimonials are useless if they're not shared ❌ When I joined Wilson Wilson in creating Senja I believed the biggest issue with existing testimonial tools is they didn't help you *share* them Collecting testimonials is great Managing them is cool But if you're not sharing them at the right time, they won't build trust or persuade your leads to act They won't grow your business In other words, without sharing, testimonials are useless So we built Senja's Studio so you can share your social proof As images - in launch emails and on socials As widgets - to add to landing pages and increase conversion As text and links - to share in your sales messages As Walls of Love - so you have one, central 'show not tell' of social proof But now, we're going even further Making it super easy for your happy customers to share their own testimonials And drive visits and sales for your business We're introducing one-click testimonial sharing to X and LinkedIn And the ability to add a thank you video where you can encourage your customers to act Collect testimonials AND activate them, only on Senja Thanks Lex Roman Adham Dannaway for their help on this For our amazing customers like Jay Clouse Kieran Drew Katelyn Bourgoin 🧠 Justin Moore Tommy Geoco Modest Mitkus Tarzan Kay Kalryzian and Virgil Brewster, we hope this helps you grow even faster Here's how it works: #creatoreconomy #creatormarketing

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a decision. Meraki Coterie was that decision. It's how I arrived at becoming a content marketer - An identity that didn't come out of thin air, but was a reality that someone saw in me when I barely had eyes. My journey began somewhere around January 2022. Though it didn't look like the 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 I now make out of it, now it serves as the systems that make up my entire structure. Meraki Coterie was where I learned to: 🌸 Read books in their entirety 🌸 Take detailed notes 🌸 Write reviews 🌸 Summarize content I also discovered the importance of community. Isn't it interesting how it's often not the events we expect to cause an eruption in the course of our lives that do? Outcomes can be unpredictable; Oh! how I love it! I recall a conversation with Godfrey Adams, the founder of the community, about what I should be doing with my life, and he offered to buy a course for me but didn't give me the freedom to choose He purchased a digital marketing course. Although I was grateful, I didn't enjoy it at the time. Yet, I remember how he'd often say, "I love how you talk about things." His little comments here and there about the excitement that shone through every post I made about the community meetings still scratches an untouched part of my brain till date And since then, I've worked as a marketing specialist at a microfinance bank and as the chief sales officer at Bizco Emporium. Hello! Esosa Emmanuel-Ihama is a content marketer who specializes in: 🌸 Designing product offers for brands who struggle to monetize or are disappointed in their business performance 🌸 Offering one-on-one content training sessions and education I'd love to connect with you.
