7 ways to ask clients for testimonials and build social proof

Customer testimonials are a powerful tool to let the quality of your work and customer experience speak for themselves. But asking for a testimonial? Talk about awkward. If this holds you back from winning much-deserved social proof for your business, we’re sharing a few examples to help you get started.

Creator Profile: Custom pages

Just like you’d create additional pages on a website, you can now do the same on your Creator Profile. Use custom pages to set up pages like:

​

• “About”: Share a deeper dive into your background, the work you’ve done, and the testimonials you’ve received from clients or brands you’ve worked with.
  ​
• “Work with me”: If you provide a service,include a page to share the type of services you provide and a call-out to reach out to you.
  ​
• “Sponsor me”: Want to work with brands? Create a page with your newsletter details, demographic information, and the type of brands you’d want to work with. (Or if you have at least 10,000 subscribers and publish consistently, apply to get direct brand sponsors in ConvertKit Ads.)

​

This is a great way to expand your Creator Profile if you don’t have a separate website. You can add up to three custom pages, plus there’s no need to get ramped up on a new editing experience—it’s the same as our email editor!
