🚨 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! ​ |

What if I told you brands aren’t really paying for “creators” anymore? The numbers tell the story: 88% of Americans now belong to niche communities, and 45% feel more connected to them than to mainstream culture. Forbes is calling this Creator Economy 3.0. They’re paying for small, trusted channels that reach the right buyers. Long term partnerships, tracked results, clear fit. It’s a business model change, not a social trend. So if you run a blog, a newsletter, a Pinterest account, or any...
At the very end of 2025, a Business Insider writer did a simple review. She spent a year talking to founders and side hustlers. Then she tried her own thing too, selling pickleball paddles. She didn’t find quick success. Sales came in slowly, and some weeks felt pretty dull. After everything, just a few simple lessons made sense to her. Not the big promises or secrets. Just the stuff that actually helps when business feels quiet. Here’s the core idea: Most people don’t quit because they start...
You’re scrolling like usual. A video stops you for a second. Right there under it, you see buttons like “Remix”, “Use this Sound”, or “Use this template”. You’ve seen that a hundred times by now. That’s not random. Platforms push those buttons because they want people to take part, not just watch. That’s when it became clear, posting by itself doesn’t work like it used to. They reward participation. Google even points out that younger audiences want to take part and remix content, not just...
