4. Call to Action
Your call to action need to be like a loaded guns trigger. It needs to be like a $20 left on your pillow. It needs to be like a big old button you want to push....it needs to be tempting...OH YES...Tempting
It MUST be a big old button your visitors want and need and desire to press!
It has to really stand out and make people want to click it.
The very best calls to actions:
- Avoid belittling contempt (Submit for example)
- Are worded clearly
- Are loaded with or hinting at a benefit.
- Are crystal clear what happens after your visitor click the button.
5. Don't shout at your visitors.
I see this all the time!!!!!
See what I mean!!!!!!
I want to make a really important or critical point so I ad loads of exclamation marks!!!!!
Simply it just makes me look unprofessional and really....quite stupid.
