Happy Friday!
It’s another gorgeous day here in Central Ontario. There’s still a little bit of haze from the wildfire smoke but nothing like what it has been. I was outside for a bit this morning, and it was really pleasant. If I had something to do out there, I’d be spending more time outside than in!
I did take a whole “me day” yesterday. The only thing business-related I did was get on my mastermind call, which I was thrilled to be done golfing in time to get home for! Golf was really good, and that complete break was something I really needed. It’s been awhile since I took a whole day off.
So, since it’s the last day of the month, I thought I’d do a roundup of all the stuff that’s ending today.
Here’s what I have for you…
Today’s Read: 7 Tips for Creating Attention-Grabbing Calls to Action
In a previous post on rewriting DFY content, one of the tips I mentioned was needing a strong call to action in each piece. In this post I want to expand on that a bit and give you some tips for creating attention-grabbing calls to action that your readers can’t wait to click on.
As you know, it’s important to always have a call to action in each piece of content you share. It doesn’t always have to be asking your audience to spend money with you. It could be as simple as offering them a freebie, or inviting them to sign up for your list, or even just clicking a link to read a related article.
But, whether your call to action gets clicked on or not, depends on a variety of factors. It has to get your readers’ attention and make them want to take that next step. And here’s why…
The content you’re creating for them should be drawing them in and making them want to know what you have to offer. So, at the end of the article, blog post, social media post, or whatever content you have for them, they should be ready to click whatever link you have for them as a next step.
But what happens if you have a boring, generic, “I don’t really care if you stick around or not” call to action at the end of your content?
Your reader/watcher/listener will just leave thinking they’ve wasted their time. And you’ve just lost a chance to convert that person to a loyal follower, or even a paying customer.
That’s why creating attention-grabbing calls to action is so important whether you’re rewriting DFY content or creating your own content from scratch!
Here are 7 tips for creating attention-grabbing calls to action

Angela’s Email Results Challenge officially starts tomorrow! I’m looking forward to this so that I can really amp up my email results over the Q3. Angela says that since it’s a long weekend here in Canada and the U.S., it’s going to be a really low-key start but I’m excited just the same.
This is a challenge focused on getting results for people who already have a list and want to grow it and make sales from it. I’m going to be working on building a brand-new list in Q3 so that I can run some case studies and change formats, and this is perfect for me to be able to do that.
Here are the challenge details:
- Starts July 1st and runs to September 30th, 2023.
- Includes Challenge PDF Guide, Cohort Facebook Group, Accountability and Draws for Prizes for Action Takers.
- The cost is a one-time $80 OR you can get it included with your Email Practice Club membership. (Both options are on the sales page)
