Join me as I break down:
✅ Why a strong during-unit marketing strategy is just as critical as acquisition
✅ How Perry Marshall’s onboarding materials create instant engagement and community buy-in
✅ The power of for vs. against positioning and why it polarizes the right audience
✅ How you can apply these lessons to your own book and business

If you’re looking for ways to make your book a relationship-building asset instead of just another lead magnet, this episode is for you.

I’m diving into something every content creator, entrepreneur, and author faces at some point—familiarity fatigue. You know that feeling when your ideas start to feel repetitive, like you’ve said it all before and nobody needs to hear it again? It’s not that your content has lost its value—it’s that you’ve become too familiar with it.

I break down the psychological trap of habituation, why we mistakenly believe our content is stale, and how to keep things fresh for both you and your audience. I’ll share strategies I use in my own business, from adopting your audience’s perspective to injecting novelty into your delivery. Plus, I’ll walk through a simple exercise to break your content into bite-sized, engaging pieces that never get old.

🔖 Episode Summary:
You’ve heard the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover”—but let’s be real, we do. And before we even get to the cover, we judge books by their titles. A title is more than just words—it’s a marketing tool, a positioning statement, and the first step in a lead generation funnel. If you’re an entrepreneur, consultant, or service business owner looking to use a book as a business asset, this episode is for you.

In today’s deep dive, I break down:
✅ How to filter a title for clarity, impact, and shareability.
✅ The biggest mistakes authors make when naming their books.
✅ What Amazon’s category system can teach you about titling.
✅ How to create a title that sticks in your audience’s brain and sells your expertise.

Using real-world examples from bestselling books (Profit First, Traffic Secrets, The Truth About Thyroid), we explore why some titles work and others flop. Plus, I’ll show you a simple mental exercise to test whether your title is too clever for its own good.

Books That Get Leads - #10: Mastering The Art of "Call to Action" in Your Boook
play

03/07/25 • 13 min

Send us a text

If your book is supposed to generate leads, then your call to action (CTA) is everything. A great book without a strategic CTA is like a high-traffic website with no opt-in—you're leaving opportunities on the table.

In this episode, I break down how to craft a compelling CTA that actually works, including:

The "Dimensionalized" Offer – How to make your lead magnet irresistible.
The Risk-Based Strategy – Overcoming skepticism and proving your value.
Amazon Algorithm Tricks – How to convert browsers into leads before they even buy your book.
Minimum Viable Opt-In – Why you need something now, even if it's imperfect.

If you're an entrepreneur, consultant, or service provider, your book should be a client-generating machine, not just a vanity project. This episode gives you practical, real-world examples you can apply immediately to turn your readers into leads, clients, and buyers.

In this episode of Books That Get Leads, I break down a powerful yet straightforward framework that can transform the way you write, structure, and present your book: Context, Content, Call-to-Action.

At its core, every great book (or any compelling piece of content) does three things:

  1. Establishes Context – Who is this for? Why should they care? How does this fit into their world?
  2. Delivers High-Value Content – Whether it’s a step-by-step process, case studies, personal stories, research, or scripts, this is where you create real impact.
  3. Leads to a Call-to-Action – What should the reader do next? How do you turn insights into action?

But here’s the kicker—if you’re writing a book to generate leads, you can’t just slap on a CTA at the end and hope for the best. The real magic happens when you weave this structure seamlessly into your book so that every chapter naturally guides the reader toward transformation and action.

I share a real-world example from an estate planning attorney who had to rethink how he positioned his book for different audiences—from retirees preparing their legacy to younger families protecting their future. You’ll also learn about the psychology behind framing your message so that the right people immediately recognize, “This book is for me.”

Plus, I dive into content strategies like proof stacking (thanks to Ed Winslow’s method), using research effectively (without boring your reader), and why storytelling beats dry information every time.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a crystal-clear structure for your book that ensures every page pulls its weight—whether your goal is attracting high-value clients, positioning yourself as an authority, or making your book an indispensable business asset.

Today’s topic? A simple but powerful writing tip: One Topic Per Sentence.

I grew up in analog writing, and I believe in training your brain for clarity. The best way? Hand-copying great direct response ads. No fluff, no $5 words—just clean, effective writing that keeps your reader engaged. Because at the end of the day, writing is telepathy. You want the image in your head to land clearly in theirs.

If that sounds like something you need, stick around. I keep these episodes short, tactical, and actionable—like a silver bullet for your writing. If you find value, share it. And if you want to go deeper, head over to BooksThatGetLeads.com for more resources.
