Default Requesting testimonials
I want to start adding testimonials to my website but I'm not sure how to go about asking for them. Any suggestions?

Just ask!
Your clients will more than likely be happy to provide them - just let them know you're updating your website and would like to know if they can write a few words for you about what it's like to work with you for use in your marketing materials (including your site)...something to that effect.

I often get emails from clients praising my work and I just ask if I can use it as a testimonial. I've also let clients know up front that after a certain period of time, I'd like a testimonial. No one ever says no.

I got my first testimonial! I added it to my website today and then I realized I had another one on my LinkedIn page from one of my connections so I added that one to another page on my site. Thanks for they input everyone.

Are you a member of LinkedIn.com Jenifer? I am and have many testimonials there so I copied and pasted them to my site at http://vadirectory.net/blog/testimonials/ which has been effective. Over time you'll get testimonials from clients but you can always ask people who know you personally now, or even previous work colleagues.

Yes KAthie I am and I did use one from there as well. Remembered that later in the day. I only have one client right now so I'm looking forward to more testimonials which would mean more clients.
