Maximize your CTA

Hey podcasters, I'm Megan, and this is Buzzsprout Weekly.

You've heard it at the end of nearly every podcast.

Follow the show, leave a review, check out our website,

and be sure to join our newsletter.

It's a classic call to action list.

By the time it's over, you've already tuned out.

The problem isn't that call to actions don't work,

it's that most of the time we're just asking too much.

This week, on Buzzcast, the team breaks down

how to create a call to action that listeners actually

complete without turning your podcast into just a list of chores.

Their strategy is to pick one priority and make it clear.

From there, everything else gets easier.

You can plan your call to action so it feels intentional.

It's easier to vary your wording so listeners don't tune it out,

and it allows reflectability of placement within your episode.

They also talk about using the Benjamin Franklin effect,

an easy way to ask for help that actually increases listener

buy-in.

If you want more listeners to take action

without sounding repetitive or pushy,

this episode is for you.

Be sure to check the link in our show notes to listen.

Up next, we have an event you don't want to miss.

On April 16th, PodNatch is hosting Podcasting Made Simple Live,

a premium virtual event for podcast hosts and guests

that helps them grow their influence, revenue, and expertise.

All Buzzsprout podcasters can attend for free.

Just use code BuzzLive at checkout for a free ticket.

We'll put the link to that in our show notes as well.

All right, that's all for this week.

Until next week, keep podcasting.
