Get Followers: Call to Action Phrase List

May 4, 2017 by Brianne Huntsman 1 Comment

In this post, we’ll list CTAs (call to action) for you to use in your blog post. Making money can help you make blogging your priority, and is especially necessary if you’re using a blog as a way to promote your business or a particular product.

Okay, bloggers.  We need to talk.

We need to talk about money.

BUT WAIT – before you click away in a hurry, we need to talk about YOU making money.  (Caught your attention, didn’t I?)

So often, we see bloggers creating great and engaging content, building their readership and really connecting with folks one-on-one.  These same bloggers aren’t linking to their social media pages, to products they talk about – or to their email lists!!  They’re leaving money on the table by not inviting their readers to join them on other platforms.  Fun fact:  It takes 7 different engagements for a customer to eventually buy from you.  And honey, you’ll get to 7 a lot more quickly if you are engaging with them across platforms.  

To help you with your CTAs, we’ve listed specific phrases you can use (below).  Be sure to join the So You Wanna Blog Facebook Group, for more blogging tips and inside info about how to blog! 

Get people following you!

Below you’ll find call to action phrases to use to encourage readers to follow you on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram.  To make things more readable, we’re going to pretend we’re writing a blog post about tulip season.

EMAIL

Note: Normally, people put a call to action at the end of a blog post, so try to put these at the beginning.  Do a little A/B testing and see which method gets you more signups.

  • Write a blog post, and crosspost relevant photos to Instagram.  Then, link to them!
    • Ex: Today on the blog, we’re talking about tulip season.  (TBT to hanging out in a field of tulips a few weeks ago.)  
    • Let’s talk about furbabies.  You know, puppers, doggos and kitties.  (You can view a cute video of mine here.)
  • Check out our Instagram story for some BTS shots of tulip season.

 

There you have it.  Some quick “plug and chug” phrases to help you make the most of the eyeballs reading your blog.  Make sure to mix up your offering (ex: invite your reader to sign up for your email and follow you on Pinterest, don’t hyperlink 3 times to your email.)   Remember to keep your voice authentic, and your follower account will likely increase!
