This was great, Pat. Here's what I learned:

1:00: Give people a (positive) reason to share your work
2:47: Quick (or big) win
3:33: Feature your community members
5:30: Ask them to share
6:20: One example is a 30-day challenge that could encourage people to invite others to do it with them
7:18: Incentivize them to share (e.g., coupon code, early access)
7:49: Default to generosity, law of reciprocity

I totally love word of mouth. It is the easiest way to get customers. It like free marketing, it's awesome! I have students and clients that have known me thru word of mouth and it is so flattering to know that the people loved and appreciate your efforts. Great content, Pat!

[CodyMcDowell]

This video came out 2 days after I was able to use word of mouth to get a subscriber to my YouTube channel and possibly a business partner in the future! That is awesome!! Thank you Pat!

Thanks again Pat, this REALLY convicted me!! When I first started my business, I would always ask for Testimonials and offer incentives for Referrals to grow my business. I hate to admit that I have let this practice fall to the wayside. I'm going to reinstate this in my business again ... IMMEDIATELY! 👍

Hey Pat! Thanks for the video. I love Jay Baer and have both of the books you mentioned too. They say that word of mouth is the best way to grow a podcast -- which is something you are a pro at doing. Bravo 🙌🏾

I am a german hairdresser and over the last 2 month I earned 15 new Google reviews and 55 new Treatwell reviews just by asking my clients to help me out a little bit by reviewing. I provide a lot of value for my clients by actually caring about them and helping them with their hair and as a coach also with their personality. They were glad to make those reviews.

Speaking of word of mouth. I've been following a lot of big income bloggers and a lot of them have mentioned you as someone to follow. Great content man.

Weird thing, i clicked on your video to watch, then i reached an episode of an interview you did with an online magazine (I am working on their whole Youtube ID Branding) that i am working to solidify their YouTube thumbnail image. Good content Pat like always!

[lionelslabb]

Awsome advice, I really need to see what value I can add for my customers to get them talking

[FlatTopJon]

Pat, great topic and info! My passion is recognizing good customer service and good hardworking people. I'm glad that topics like this are brought up. In a way it kinda relates to what I do. Thank you for all the great info!

Hey Pat. I'm just going to release first public beta version of my application to track family finances, but I wouldn't even think about creating a user group on facebook to share experiences and ideas of improvements!. So thanks for a great idea. It's simple, but not obvious! Great video! Best regards!

[SpicerCapital]

As always, you’ve got me thinking. Thanks, Pat.

[albertsdeals]

Awesome video, as usual! Thanks. Keep up the good work, friend.

Thanks for a great video and confirming what I have just pondered the other day. It has also given me some ideas about being a bit more proactive in encouraging the recommendation. I'm a great believer in word of mouth marketing. Marketing costs time and money, whatever method you use. Why not invest it into over-delivering your service or product instead? I've made a few free websites for friends and family and got two paying websites as a result of word of mouth before I even set myself up as a web designer. A friend, also a web designer, is also kept busy with word of mouth work because his clients are happy and recommend him. He could have spent a lot of time tweaking his SEO, paid a small fortune to FB or Google, but instead he spends that time creating better websites. Win-win.

Great Vid Pat! I'm going to help people.

[amirzabihi]

Thanks for your (as always) great tips, we gonna build some periodic contests between our community and applause our winners out loud, so giving them a reason to share their success with their community :)

Jay Baer in your podcast.... come on worth listening

[daysirueda]

I think the 30 days challenge is helpful to engage people to your product !!

[ShoshanahShear]

Thanks Pat
How do you get clients to share when the service is therapeutic? I can't share my best case stories due to confidentiality.
This has had me stumped for years.

As to what I will do to encourage others to share my work, I am toying with asking people to wear a T-shirt of mine or share my website and receive a coupon voucher to my online store with potential to win a T-shirt. I like the idea of a 30 day challenge but not yet sure what to do.

To answer sharing your work, I already DO on my blog and in emails. Thanks so much for all your do, I have learned a fortune from you.

Thank you so much!! I will ask someone or I will provide more value
