It simply means "don't believe me". The phrase is usually followed by the person producing some sort of written proof from a verified source.

Frank--

You are missing some of the nuances here.

"Don't take my word for it"--look at this book or this magazine or the opinion of this authority.

It means you're not God and therefore, you could be wrong.
