🚨 CTAs: The Truth You’re Ignoring
|
Think about being at a party. Someone says in a boring way “There’s some food if you want.” That’s a weak way to get people interested. But what if your friend comes up to you all excited and says “Hey! Sarah made this amazing chocolate cake - you need to try it, it’s right there in the kitchen!” That’s how you get people excited and ready to act. When it comes to online marketing, that’s what holds the power of guiding your audience on exactly what to do next, and we call them CTAs (call-to-actions). Let me show you the difference: ❌ “Click here to learn more” ✅ “Get Your Free Meal Plan Template, Ready in 2 Minutes!” No matter if you’re writing for your website, Instagram, or blog, using clear and friendly language in your CTAs helps turn just users into active members of your community or even your customers. So, how do we write CTAs that work? First, be clear about what you want people to do. Add a sense of “do it now” to your message, and use words that make people want to take action. Don’t be vague. Tell people exactly what good things they’ll get. Use exciting words that make people want to click right away, and keep it short and sweet. Talk directly to your audience like you’re having a friendly chat, and make sure they feel like taking action will be worth their time and easy to do. When you make your CTAs better everywhere, people will have an easier time following along, no matter where they find you. They’ll be more likely to join in and do what you’re suggesting. I hope this makes you feel better about writing CTAs, but remember, while tips help, the best way to know what works is to try different versions and see which ones your audience likes best. It’s like trying different recipes to find out which one your friends enjoy the most! You get the idea, right, Reader? Now, if you’re looking for even more ways to improve your marketing, there are 7 main strategies that I believe every business owner should learn in 2025. ​Click here to see what you’ve been missing! Cheers, Minosh. PS: Always A/B test your CTAs. It’s the best way to see which phrases, designs, and placements actually get your audience to take action! ​ |

I don’t know if it’s just me, but you know how leftover pizza tastes even better the next morning once it’s reheated just right? Could be just me, but I doubt it. Anyway, that’s what updating your old content feels like. It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about polishing what already works. Most beginners keep chasing new ideas, thinking that’s how growth happens. But smart people? They revisit their old posts, improve them, and watch the results climb again and again. This is how...
Ever noticed how some newsletters just feel different? I still remember the first time someone hit reply to my weekly email and shared how useful and helpful it was for him. Suddenly, it wasn’t just me sending words out into nothing. Not just for me, newsletters have now become a real place for people to share and feel listened to. And now there’s a change happening. Newsletters aren’t just for sharing updates anymore. According to HubSpot, marketing experts say that in 2025, more newsletters...
Not long ago, someone on Pinterest commented, “do you think we can even grow a business without social media in 2025”. Just like that, my next blog post almost wrote itself. It reminded me that, sometimes your best content comes straight from your own audience. When you invite others to share their wins, struggles, or honest questions, things get way easier (and a lot more real). A recent research also found that 69% of people trust recommendations from creators, just like they trust advice...
