# [Marketing Quick Tips 13: Add Clear Calls to Action (CTAs)](https://thoughtsbrewing.com/blog/marketing-quick-tips-13-add-clear-calls-to-action-ctas)

Never assume your audience knows what to do next—tell them! 

A clear call to action (CTA) guides your audience to take the next step.  They can be:

- Clicking a link
- Signing up
- Making a purchase

Keep CTAs simple and specific. 

*For instance, “Download your free guide” is more effective than “Learn more.” *

Place them strategically—in your post, bio, or captions—so they’re easy to spot.  Links aren’t clickable in Instagram posts, so be sure your audience can easily engage with your CTA - tools like Linktree are helpful here.

CTAs don’t always have to be sales-driven. You can encourage engagement with phrases like “Share your thoughts below” or “Tag a friend who needs this.” 

The goal is to make the next step effortless (Greg McKeown would approve of this).

Pro Tip: If you tell them to click a link, make sure there is a clickable link for them to click…..don’t make them have to search to follow your CTA.
