Why Using Testimonials Is Very Important in Blogging. This is all about trust, and the opinion of others builds that validity
(And How They Can Build Trust, Credibility, and Sales)
Let me tell you a quick story.
A while back, I launched a new blog post promoting a digital product. I thought I had nailed it—great content, clean design, helpful tips, and even a call to action.
But after a week, I had zero sales. Nada. Nothing.
Confused and frustrated, I reached out to a more experienced blogger. He asked me one simple question:
“Where are the testimonials?”
That one question changed everything.
The Pain of Being a Stranger Online
Here’s the harsh truth: people don’t buy from strangers.
Online, everyone is skeptical. With so many scams, false promises, and flashy headlines, readers are trained to be cautious.
Even if your content is top-notch, without social proof, your readers are thinking:
“Sounds good… but has this worked for anyone else?”
That’s where testimonials come in—and why not having them is silently killing your results.
1. Testimonials Create Instant Trust
Imagine walking into a restaurant and seeing a long line out the door.
You instantly assume the food must be good, right?
That’s the psychology of social proof at work. Testimonials do the same thing for your blog. When readers see that others have benefited from what you’re sharing or promoting, they start to trust you more.
In seconds, you go from random blogger to trusted recommender.
2. They Validate the Product (So You Don’t Have to)
You can talk all day about how great a product or service is. But let’s face it—your readers know you’re biased.
On the other hand, when someone else says,
“This helped me go from zero to 100 subscribers in a week,”
that carries way more weight.
Testimonials validate your offer without you having to sell. They remove objections before the reader even has a chance to raise them.
3. They Speak Your Reader’s Language
The best part about testimonials? They come from real people.
That means real language. Real struggles. Real emotions.
When someone reads a testimonial and thinks,
“That sounds just like me,”
they start to believe that the solution might work for them too.
That connection is powerful—and it’s what leads to clicks, sign-ups, and sales.
4. They Work Even If You’re Just Starting Out
Now you might be thinking,
“But I’m new—what if I don’t have testimonials yet?”
Here’s the solution: start gathering them now.
- Ask for feedback from anyone who’s tried your advice or content
- Use testimonials from product creators (with permission)
- Share screenshots of comments, messages, or reviews
Even one or two solid testimonials can make a massive difference.
And if you’re promoting a product like Michael Cheney’s AI Millionaire, you’re in luck—his pages are full of testimonials you can ethically reference in your blog content.
Don’t Just Say It—Show It
Adding testimonials doesn’t have to be complicated. You can:
- Include a few quotes mid-post
- Add a sidebar section labeled “What Others Are Saying.”
- Embed video testimonials (huge trust booster!)
- Use screenshots for authenticity
It’s not about having dozens. It’s about having relevant, believable, and relatable proof.

Final Thought
At the end of the day, people don’t want more information.
They want reassurance.
They want to know that someone else has walked this path, gotten results, and that they can too.
That’s what testimonials do.
