Luckily, every client gets you one step closer to ongoing sustainability in your freelance business, and not just because of the money you\u2019ll make from that one client or project. The number one resource solopreneurs have for getting new customers is usually their current or former customers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2014\/10\/the-freelance-economy-still-runs-on-word-of-mouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">84% of high-earning soloprenuers<\/a> list word of mouth as a top source for getting new work. The solopreneurs who turn their solo businesses into successful ventures do it, at least in part, by utilizing current clients to help them find new clients.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have too much power over what your clients will say to their friends and colleagues on their own time, but you can use the power of word of mouth through online reviews and testimonials on your own website.<\/p>\n<p>Getting clients to provide reviews and testimonials doesn\u2019t have to be hard, but it can feel a little awkward at first. Here are a few steps you can take to help increase the number of testimonials and reviews you have to help you promote your solopreneur business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/website-builder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HostGator-Website-Builder.png\" alt=\"HostGator Website Builder\" width=\"600\" height=\"73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HostGator-Website-Builder.png 600w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/HostGator-Website-Builder-300x37.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0Include a link to review sites in your email signature.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Any website you\u2019re on that includes a review section is an opportunity for you to get more feedback and reviews from customers. So promote them. Add a link to the site in your email signature with a note asking recipients to give you a review. That way, every person you correspond with will learn the site exists and see a CTA to go give you a review every time you interact over email.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fairly passive form of asking for a review or testimonial, so if you\u2019re trying to work up to being more comfortable soliciting testimonials, it\u2019s a good place to start.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs2-300x172.png\" alt=\"Ask freelance clients to review you via email\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs2-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs2-768x440.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs2.png 830w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2.\u00a0Include links to review sites on your website as well.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is really the same idea as number one. Add links and a note encouraging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/small-business-online-reviews\/\">visitors to review<\/a> you on these review sites. This way, potential customers trying to decide whether or not to hire you can see what others have thought of you, and current customers know where to add their review once they have some experience working with you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Provide a survey after projects.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16611 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs3-300x300.png\" alt=\"Client survey for freelance service business\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/solopreneurs3.png 455w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>At some point, you need to graduate from the more passive methods described in steps one and two and start being more direct in soliciting feedback. Sending a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpscout.net\/blog\/customer-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quick survey<\/a> over to your clients after a project\u2019s complete or once you\u2019ve been working with them for a certain amount of time can accomplish two things at once:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It gives you a chance to collect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/customer-feedback-new-business\/\">customer feedback<\/a> that you can use to improve your services.<\/li>\n<li>You can use open-ended questions as a way to collect potential testimonials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you include a question about how satisfied the client is with your services and they say something positive, that tells you that they\u2019re a good person to follow up with to see if they\u2019ll provide a testimonial for your website. If they write a glowing sentence or two in the space provided in the survey, then all you have to do is confirm that they\u2019re ok with you publishing it.<\/p>\n<p>You can use either Instant Survey or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Survey Monkey<\/a> to create and send surveys for free. Make sure you keep your customer surveys short, so people are more likely to actually do them   you should be able to get good information from a survey that takes less than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Keep an eye out for positive comments on social media.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes people turn to social media to voice their opinions of a business they\u2019ve worked with. If you\u2019re not making a point to pay attention to what people are saying about your work on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, you may be missing out on some great comments that could make website testimonials.<\/p>\n<p>Go beyond just checking your mentions now and then and start practicing a wider scale of <a href=\"http:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/insights\/social-listening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social listening<\/a>. That way, if you encounter criticism, you have the chance to step in and work to make things right. And when you encounter compliments, you can ask the client about turning them into a testimonial for your website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5.\u00a0When you receive positive feedback, ask for permission to repurpose it as a testimonial.<\/h2>\n<p>You know how now and then a client will send you an email saying something kind and complimentary about your work? It might not happen all the time, but it sure feels nice when it does.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of simply enjoying that nice feeling and sending back a 'thanks,'\u009d next time go a step further and ask if they\u2019d be ok with you using what they\u2019ve said as a testimonial on your website. There\u2019s a very high likelihood in a situation like this that they\u2019ll say yes, since they\u2019ve already made it clear they like you and have taken the time to write something to that effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>6.\u00a0If you\u2019re just starting out, ask non-client contacts to provide you relevant testimonials.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If everything on this list sounds completely out of reach because you\u2019re still in that early stage of looking for your very first clients, that\u2019s ok &#8211; you can use testimonials from other people in your life.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a writer that has helped friends or an organization you volunteer for with your writing skills, they can be your early testimonials. If you\u2019re a graphic designer that learned your skill in school, the professors who know your work well can serve as your first testimonials. If you\u2019re branching out from full-time employment to freelancing, your former employer could make a great testimonial.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you only ask people who know your work. You want the testimonials to be genuine and accurate. But don\u2019t feel disheartened about turning to other people who know your skills and work ethic to start, you can build up your testimonials from actual clients as you go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>7.\u00a0Just ask! <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A lot of these come down to the same thing, but you don\u2019t always need the types of starting prompts described in the steps above to collect testimonials. Any time you\u2019ve done work for a client you\u2019re proud of, it\u2019s ok to simply send an email asking if they\u2019d be willing to write a few words about their experience with you for the website.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take them long, and if they\u2019re satisfied with your work, many clients will be happy to do it. And you\u2019ll be able to add the honest opinion of a third-party to your website, which immediately makes a stronger persuasive case to most visitors than anything you can say about your own work will.<\/p>\n<p>Soliciting customer testimonials may be a bit awkward and require you to work up some courage, but the end results are worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working as a solopreneur can be extremely rewarding, but only if you can consistently find enough work to keep your&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":166,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-startup-small-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.2 (Yoast SEO v23.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Get Reviews for Your Solopreneur Business - HostGator<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The number one resource solopreneurs have for getting new customers is usually their current or former customers.
