When visitors land at your site, they expect a direction on the next step to take; it’s essential to provide a call to action to guide them in the right direction.

What Is A Call to Action

A call to action is a phrase meant to entice your visitors to take desire action. However, without a clear CTA, users may be confused about the next step to take.

CTA can be to purchase a product, sign up for a newsletter or access a freebie. In addition, you can use CTA on websites, landing pages, emails, end of a blog post and likes.

Research shows that CTA on landing pages can increase conversion by 80%.

Driving consumers to take action is one of the effective strategies to boost conversion in marketing.

That is the perfect reason to have affiliates to promote. I am well versed in CTA's. I just finished the AWAI Copywriting Methods Course. I know how to do that in a sales letter, a website for a business.
Realistically, without a product to promote, I'm not giving a call to action in my website. Not going to do a newsletter on top of the hundreds of posts we are expected to produce. Hopefully, I can get affiliates with 15-20 posts. If not, I don't even know why I'm bothering.

Awesome and thorough post, Muslimah!
