“People are coming to you because your opinion matters to them and so they want to know your experience. They want your review, they want your reference, and if you never used it, you can’t give them anything other than a surface-level review or a carbon copy of what another blogger has done. But if you can give your honest review, positives and negatives about a thing then people are going to trust it. And here’s the deal… business is about people liking you and trusting you, that TRUST component is really BIG.” – Mike Yanda
