The Summit is On! Plus Last Day for Goal Setting, Christmas Printables, and What makes a good Call to Action

Happy Tuesday!

It’s a cool, grey morning here in Central Ontario, but at least the rain has stopped for now. I’m heading out shortly to run a few errands and get back before the Homepreneur’s Adventure Summit starts at 11 a.m. Eastern.  I’m really excited to hear Dan Morris this morning, and Debbie Gartner this afternoon. You can find the complete schedule here, if you want to come and hang out with us!

Don’t forget to check out the premium bundle with 50+ courses and products available for the next few days too. I think it’s one of the best bundles I’ve seen so far this year! And of course I have bonuses for you when you buy the bundle as well.

Other than that, in between summit sessions it’s going to be head down, get stuff done again today for me. Since about Saturday, something switched on for me and I’ve been getting a lot of work done, but also taking lots of time for myself so that I don’t get overwhelmed and burned out this year.

I’ve been getting up earlier, even though I really hate getting up in the dark, and taking the time to drink my tea and write in my journal, and practice my drawing before I even think about diving into work. And it really seems to be helping me to focus during the day to have that slower, more relaxing start to the day instead of getting up and stressing about everything I have to do.

But relaxing time is done for now, and I’m ready to start tackling my list for the day. I should say too, that yesterday I got everything but one item crossed off my list! I’m pretty darned proud of that… it doesn’t happen often.

So, here’s what I have for you today starting with the next installment in our Calls to Action Series.

Today’s Read: What Makes a Good Call to Action?

It’s not enough these days to slap up a link that says “click here” or “buy now.” Creating an effective call to action requires some serious thought. You will need to consider things like placement, size, colour, headlines, and more. And in order to get it right, you’ll also need to have a good understanding of your audience’s needs, your own needs, and how they fit together.

Here’s a list of the components of a good call to action.

Knowing Why

One of the biggest things you need to know when you create your call to action is why you’re creating it. What do you want your audience to do and why? When you can understand why in terms that your audience understands and relates to, you’ll be able to get higher conversions on all of your CTAs.

Size

It’s important to ensure that you pick the right size for your call to action. You don’t want it too small so that it doesn’t show up to your audience, but you don’t want it to look too big either. You need to ensure that the sizing is right based on the other things on your website.

Image Quality

It’s imperative that the authenticity of the images you use show through to your audience. This happens by understanding your brand and your voice as a business and choosing the right type of images to represent that to your audience.

Color

You also want to make sure that you use the right colors for your site so that the call to action stands out. Look at it and ask yourself whether it stands out or clashes? Does it look professional and command attention?

Form

You can create your call to action in many forms. For example, should you use a button or another type of image? Should you put a sign-up form under each blog post? What about a CTA to connect on social media? These are all forms of CTAs that have the potential to convert well.

An Action-oriented Headline

Your call to action should include an effective headline that tells your audience what to do. For example, buy now, download now, sign up now, and so forth are all action verbs that won’t confuse your audience as to what they’re clicking on and what they’re agreeing to do.

Text

When you create a CTA, should you put text on the button that gets attention? Should you give an example to your audience on what to write inside the boxes they need to fill out to sign up for something? It depends on your audience, but these actions have been proven to improve conversions.

Placement

The other thing you must know about CTAs is where you should place them. Placing them in multiple places is usually the best answer to make sure that you give your audience every opportunity to decide to answer it.

Crafting a good call to action takes some thought and consideration to ensure it works. You’ll need to place and test them to make them better. Using A/B split-testing on the different types of CTAs that you can have and where you place them will ensure you are getting the results you desire.

I’m off to grab some food before the summit starts!

Have an amazing day! Create what makes your heart happy!
