Do you feel like you\u2019re not getting the response you would like from your social posting?
\nMaybe it\u2019s your Call to Action or CTA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your audience is made up of mostly busy people who don\u2019t have time to ponder what you are asking them to do with your post.
\nYou must spell it out for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some common examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

You want them to click to your website<\/span><\/p>\n

You want them to follow you on Social Media<\/span><\/p>\n

You want them to direct message you<\/span><\/p>\n

You want them to sign-up for your newsletter<\/span><\/p>\n

You want them to look at a related article<\/span><\/p>\n

All these and more are valid Calls to Action and will improve your engagement if you set them up properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does a Well Constructed CTA look?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A CTA should be a complete link to a working page of a website somewhere. You can create the link from scratch or copy and paste it from the website. Either way, be sure to test it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The link should be placed at the end of your post caption before the hashtags.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Often Do You Add a CTA?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, do we want to use these on every post? No. That would be like asking someone to do something for you every time you run into them. We recommend that, for the most part, you save these for your product posts. These are the posts you do once a week that \u201csell\u201d your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Occasionally, another post will need a CTA. For example, if a new restaurant is posting about a traditional recipe they have used for years, they might include a link to the recipe in their post.<\/span><\/p>\n

www.italianbistro.com\/cheescake-recipe<\/span><\/p>\n

Or if a music app company is posting about an article saying that listening to music is good for your health, we could include a link to that.\u00a0 www.newyorktimes.com\/streaming-music-is-invigorating<\/span><\/p>\n

A well constructed and well placed CTA can do wonders for your post performance. \u00a0Start building your list of good ones today .<\/span><\/p>\n
