How to Get Testimonials for Your Business or Blog Using Twitter for Social Proof

Have you ever wondered what mentions and retweets are worth to your business or blog besides a boost in the Klout score? Tweets can be the perfect source of testimonials. Collecting them is easy, and publishing them is even easier.

What You Are Looking For

When collecting tweets as testimonials, watch for tweets from readers, customers, well-known people in your industry, mentors, and role models.

Look for tweets where these people are saying something good about you, your skills, your expertise, your content, your products, or your services.

If a tweet makes you feel like your hard work has been recognized and appreciated, then it should be one you save for future reference. Especially be on the lookout for tweets that share a positive result someone received from working with you, reading your content, or using your products.
