Call to Action

A CTA is a request for immediate response.

Have you reduced the price of your eBook for the weekend?

Best to share the link for purchase and time frame with a persuasive CTA to get viewers to take immediate action.

None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.

It's time retrieve them and she always acts surprised at how many there are. I don't know why because she's shoved dozens over the edge just this morning...

Happy #Caturday from Hook.

She's been in the mood for Post-its again.

Her goal is to make contact with the Post-it, whether blocking or slapping it out of the air. Biting it is part of her game and then she shoves it over the backside of the table.

What Does Your Path to Success Look Like?

Success has always been touted as a straight path, with a few bumps in the road, that ultimately leads to a glowing treasure of fame and fortune. As wonderful as that might sound, we know that it is not a smooth and direct path.

Adorable. Happy Caturday.

You have this!

Where you, the author, position yourself is important. There is no point being on a platform your potential readers aren't on.

Study your ideal reader profile then position yourself on the platform of their choice.

There seems to be one quality of mind which seems to be of special and extreme advantage in leading him to make discoveries. It was the power of never letting exceptions go unnoticed.

Call to Action

A CTA is a request for something that benefits you, author.

It could be a response, poll participation, ARC readers, book review, etc.

Give thought to what you want and how might you encourage your followers to respond to your CTA.
