Tips for getting likes, comments, and follows: Try adding a CTA!

Hello, this is Yu Yanagi.

Today, I'd like to talk briefly about one thing: 'If you're writing a note, try to include tips that will help you get likes, comments, and follows!'

Rather than 'solid know-how,' this is more about sharing a small realization, so I hope you'll read it casually.

Try adding a 'CTA' at the end of your article!

Have you all heard of CTA?

It's a marketing term, but it stands for 'Call To Action,' and it refers to words or mechanisms that encourage readers to take action.

For example, common ones you see on note are:

• 'If you liked this article, please like and follow me!'

• 'Register for LINE and get a free gift!'

• 'Sign up for our newsletter and get something for free!'

Phrases like these.

On note, sometimes people just use text, but I make sure to use a CTA conveyed in a single image.

The power of a CTA conveyed through an image

I've been using a CTA with an image for about a month and a half since I started note. The reason is that it's easier for readers to notice.

Introducing CTAs from mutual followers!

Some of my mutual followers have created wonderful CTAs, and they are very helpful, so please take a look↓

• Ricchan-san's article had a CTA image with design that was so good, it inspired me to think, 'Oh, I should change mine to something like this!'

*

• Shino-san also uses image CTAs in their articles, and they actually use multiple patterns depending on the situation! The idea of changing them to match the content of the post was a great learning experience for me!

So, how do you make one?

I use the design tool Canva.

Try typing "LinkedIn post" into the Canva search bar.
I think just "LinkedIn" will work too.

Templates for LinkedIn will appear in large numbers.

Among them, there are plenty of designs with frames where you can insert your own icon, and there are many landscape image sizes that are perfect for note, so they are very easy to use!

Even the free templates are quite lovely and well-stocked.

Summary: A trigger for interaction with your readers!

Of course, just because you add a CTA might not result in a flashy effect like "likes and follows will explode!"

But, for readers who have gone to the trouble of reading until the end, I think it's a bit of a waste if the connection just ends without anything happening.

That is why I think it makes a difference if you have even just one image CTA ready.

Seeing the CTA might become a trigger for a comment or a reason for them to think, "I want to read more."

I would be happy if this article becomes a hint for closing the distance between you and your readers!

I also want to continue coming up with more ideas and enjoy interacting with my readers.

See you later!
