How to Create Calls-to-Action That Actually Convert

Kristina Stubblefield: [00:00:00] If your content isn't getting clicks, signups, or bookings, it's probably missing one thing, a strong call to action. Today, I'm going to show you how to write. Simple, effective CTAs that actually guide your audience to take the next step. We're using ChatGPT to make it faster, easier, and way less stressful.

Whether you want people to download something, sign up, DM you, or book your call to action matters.

Here's the truth. Your content can be amazing. If you don't tell people what to do next, they won't do anything, and before you think this, let's just get it out of the way. It's not pushy, it's helpful. A strong call to action turns content into strategy. [00:02:00] It moves people from passive scrolling to action and eventually to sales. 

Last month we talked all about content creation, how to use ChatGPT to write blogs, emails, social posts, even full video scripts. But now we are leveling up because content is great, but content with a call to action. That's where the magic happens. Before you write your call to action, ask yourself, what do I want them to do next?

Now, I know this might sound silly, but people truly are not thinking, oh, I need to go do this. So what do you one of them read more? Download something, book a call? Comment, share, get clear, be specific. Then go to [00:03:00] ChatGPT and say, write a short CTA encouraging readers to blank. Insert your goal, write there.

Now I'm here to tell you not all calls to action. Are created equal. Here's how to guide ChatGPT. Let's say for Instagram. Write a fun casual call to action for Instagram that encourages people to DM me for a free checklist. Now, let's say for a blog. Write a call to action that invites readers to download a related freebie and join my email list.

Next one for an email, write a call to action that encourages people to reply with their biggest question about this topic. These are just some very simple [00:04:00] examples of prompts that you can utilize in your business. Now, the biggest mistake overcomplicating it, A good call to action. It's short, direct, and action-oriented, not if you'd like to possibly learn more, consider checking out.

No, you've got to get crystal clear. Remember, it's not pushy. It is a guide for your audience. So instead of what I just gave an example of, let's try this. Want the checklist? Grab it here. Need help? Book your free call now. Simple. Ask ChatGPT. Rewrite this call to action to make it more clear and action driven.

Sometimes one tweak makes a [00:05:00] huge difference in how to use ChatGPT to write a blog post in under 10 minutes. We talked about refining outputs. Do the same here. Ask ChatGPT. Give me three call to action variations for this blog post, one for downloads, one for engagement, and one for sales. Then pick the one that fits your strategy best.

Now I wanna give you a reminder. Every blog, pretty much every caption. Every video should have a next step.
