You’ve poured your heart into that post. The caption? Clever. The design? Chef’s kiss. The vibes? Immaculate. And then… crickets.
One lonely like and zero interaction. Not even your cousin hit “heart.” Brutal.
The problem probably isn’t your content—it’s your Call to Action (CTA). That little nudge that tells people what to do next. And yep, it matters a lot more than most people think.
Let’s fix that. Below are 30 CTAs that are actually getting clicks, saves, shares, comments—and yes, even sales. Let’s break them down by type so you know exactly what to say (and when to say it).
The Secret Sauce: Why Your CTA Matters
Here’s the deal: a great CTA isn’t just the cherry on top—it’s the spoon that gets people to taste what you’re serving.
A well-placed CTA can:
Get people talking
Build trust without the hard sell
And actually move the needle on your goals
Whether you’re nudging someone to save a post, hit the heart, or send a DM, the right call to action is what turns a scroll into a click—and a click into connection (or a client).
Now let’s get into the juicy part—actual word-for-word CTAs that work.
