Testimonials for creators and newsletters, in your readers’ words
Readers reply “this issue was exactly what I needed” all the time. Those replies are the best reason for a stranger to subscribe — and for a sponsor to say yes.
- Link in your P.S.
- Import shout-outs from X
- A page for sponsors
The message to send
P.S. If this newsletter has been useful, would you tell me why in a sentence or two? I’ll share a few (with your OK) to help new readers find it: wallsy.live/f/your-name
Ask in the P.S. of a great issue
When an issue gets more replies than usual, add one line at the bottom of the next one asking readers to say why they read. Short, warm, no pressure.
If a reader recommends you on X, import the post with its link — it’s social proof with a real face and a real follower count behind it.

Questions people ask
Can I show reader replies I already have?
Wallsy needs each testimonial to come through your collection page (so consent is recorded) or from a public post on X. Send readers who replied the link and ask if you can share their words.
Does a Wall of Love work as a media-kit page?
It works as a public page with your heading, a call-to-action button and your choice of testimonials — handy to link from a media kit.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — 4 published testimonials, a collection page, Walls of Love and the Grid widget.
How often should I ask?
Once or twice a year in the newsletter is plenty, plus your welcome email. Readers don’t mind being asked occasionally.
Can I show testimonials on Substack or Beehiiv?
You can link to your Wall of Love from anywhere. Embedding a widget needs a page where you can paste a script, which some hosted platforms don’t allow.
