What is your call to action?
The first time someone asked me this, I looked at them like they were from Mars. I seriously had no idea what they were talking about and this was only about 3 or 4 years ago. After getting over my embarrassment, I got really excited about it and implemented one on my Simply Sarah website – Join our list, Get 25% off instantly. Can I share how thrilled I was when we started to get a flood of orders using that discount code – it was about 7 per week – it was amazing. Once I got into it, I really understood the power of a good call to action.
Whether you are selling a product or a service, figuring out what will get your target market to buy from you is the key to success right? This awesome list of suggestions from my Entreprenette experts covers ideas from free samples, try-it-out-samplers, discounts, how-to articles, and specific language to get someone to click now.

I really like how you put together all this advice.
We’re currently a/b testing our homepage call-to-action buttons.
That can be an interesting topic for a future post. What do you think?

Thanks Sarah,
So many helpful tips. The trick is knowing your readers, so when you ask them to help, they always jump in.
Sarah, once again, you have produced an informative and helpful article. It is so amazing and interesting to get feedback from other professionals on the topics you post! I love how you do this! Thanks so much! Karin, #19
Thank you Sarah! These tips are great! I need to pay more attention to my website and create a call to action plan.
Excellent ! I’m right in the middle of creating my Call To Action offers and graphics…the tips here have given me some great ideas – and help a lot!
thanks to all!
An effective call to action is pretty important and these particular tips are simply AWESOME. Thank you for gathering all of this info, it’ll be really helpful to me in the coming months.
I remember having to be very insistent on the importance of the word “now” in my last job’s calls to action. Want quick response? Make it sound super important.

Oh So Fitting
"20px" /> the website looks great. I am so… 
I know it can be hard to keep up. Believe me, I know. But I can tell you from experience, that being organized and having a checklist is one way to start tackling the hard stuff. What I like about a list, is that when I get a brain freeze and don’t know what I should do that day, I can get some ideas from my task list and see what I can wrap my thoughts around and actually get something done, rather than sit there wondering……. yes sometimes sitting there is the best thing on the menu, but I bet you’ll feel more full if you take charge and get ahead.![]()
