Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
How much time did you spend writing custom CTAs for your content this week to monetize your newsletters?
Post on X. Write a CTA. Post on LinkedIn. Rewrite the CTA. Medium article. Rewrite it again.
Here's how to cut it to 60 seconds with 4 platform-specific CTAs.
⛳️ Why this works
You've been creating free content for months. Maybe years.
Blog posts. Tweets. LinkedIn articles. Newsletters. All valuable. All free.
But here's the problem. Without a clear call-to-action, readers consume your content and vanish. They don't buy. They don't convert. They just scroll away.
Here's the thing...
Your content library is like a store with no checkout counter.
Most creators stock the shelves beautifully. Great products. Perfect displays. Customers browse and browse.
But when they're ready to buy? There's no cash register. No clear next step. So they leave empty-handed.
CTAs are your checkout counter. They tell readers exactly what to do next. "If you liked this, here's the next step."
But here's where most creators get stuck. They write one CTA and copy-paste it everywhere. X. LinkedIn. Medium. Newsletters.
Same message. Same tone. Same words.
Doesn't work. Each platform has different norms. X needs brevity. LinkedIn needs professionalism. Medium needs warmth.
The prompt below fixes this. One input. Four platform-specific CTAs. Each optimized for where it'll appear.
Turns out, automation beats copy-paste every time. Bingo.
Let's see how Lisa figured this out...

Lisa runs a productivity newsletter.
She'd been publishing free content for 8 months. Solid stuff. Actionable tips. Real frameworks.
People loved it.
But here's her problem. She had a $27 guide sitting in her bio. "The Productivity Blueprint." Perfect for her audience.
Sales? Maybe 2-3 per month.
Her content got tons of engagement. Likes everywhere. Comments rolling in. Shares daily.
But nobody clicked her product link.
Why? Her CTA was invisible. Generic. Forgettable.
She'd write a Twitter thread about time management. End with: "Check out my guide in bio!"
Then she'd write a LinkedIn article about focus. End with: "Check out my guide in bio!"
Same CTA. Every platform. Every post.
Readers scrolled past it. They didn't know what the guide was. They didn't know what problem it solved. They didn't know why they should care.
Lisa knew she needed better CTAs. But writing custom ones for every post? That's 30 minutes per piece of content.
She'd try writing different versions. "Want to learn more? Grab my guide." Too vague. Delete. "Download The Productivity Blueprint to master your time." Too salesy. Delete.
Every post became a guessing game. What CTA works on X? What works on LinkedIn? What works in newsletters?
Then Lisa found something. A prompt from content monetization experts. One that generates platform-specific CTAs automatically.
Changed everything.
Lisa decided to follow these steps:
Step 1: Generate 4 platform-specific CTAs with her AI sidekick
Step 2: Test and refine which CTAs convert best
Step 3: Build her library of proven CTAs
Step 1: Generate 4 platform-specific CTAs
Lisa opened ChatGPT/Claude (her AI sidekick).
She had written a newsletter about beating procrastination. Good content. But she needed CTAs for 4 platforms. X. LinkedIn. Medium. Newsletter itself.
Writing them manually? 30 minutes minimum.
But wait. Which platform gets which tone? X needs short and punchy. LinkedIn needs professional but warm. Medium needs conversational. Newsletter needs direct.
She had no clue.
Every CTA was a guess. Write it. Post it. Hope something sticks.
Here's what she tried...

Done. Four platform-specific CTAs. 60 seconds.
Each one matched its platform. X version was concise. LinkedIn version was professional. Medium version was warm and conversational.
No guessing. No rewriting. No 30-minute sessions staring at blank screens.
Step 2: Test and refine which CTAs convert best
Lisa had her 4 CTAs.
But here's the thing. Not every CTA converts the same.
Some platforms respond better to certain tones. Some audiences prefer direct asks. Others prefer casual mentions.
She needed to test which variations worked best.
Here's what she did...
She went back to her AI sidekick and asked for variations:
"Great, now I would like a variety of X CTA. Can you give me 3 more options to choose from?"
Her AI sidekick generated 3 more X CTA variations:

Loved this thread? I've got something for you. The Productivity Blueprint breaks down exactly how to stop procrastinating for good. Check my bio.
If procrastination is killing your productivity, grab The Productivity Blueprint. It's the exact system I use to stay focused all day. Link in bio.
She did this for each platform.
Now she had 4 variations per platform. 16 total CTAs.
She tested them over the next 2 weeks. Posted content with different CTAs. Tracked which ones got clicks.
X CTA #2 performed best. Short. Direct. Clear benefit.
LinkedIn CTA #1 won. Professional but friendly.
Medium CTA #3 crushed it. Warm invitation with clear value.
After 2 weeks, she knew exactly which CTAs worked for each platform.
No more guessing.
Step 3: Build her library of proven CTAs
Lisa had her winners.
Now she needed to build a library. One CTA per product per platform.
She had 3 products:
The Productivity Blueprint (focus and time management)
The Deep Work Guide (distraction-free work)
The Energy System (avoiding burnout)
She ran the prompt for each product. Generated 4 platform-specific CTAs per product.
12 total CTAs. All stored in a simple doc.
Now when she writes content, she checks her library. Writing about focus? Grab The Productivity Blueprint CTA for X. Writing about burnout? Grab The Energy System CTA for LinkedIn.
Copy. Paste. Post.
Her CTA writing went from 30 minutes per post to 10 seconds.
🏆 Lisa's results after 3 months
Before:
Generic "check my bio" CTAs that nobody clicked
2-3 product sales per month ($54-81)
30 minutes writing custom CTAs per post
No systematic approach to monetization
After:
Platform-optimized CTAs with clear value propositions
15-20 product sales per month ($405-540)
10 seconds to add proven CTAs from her library
Systematic CTA library for all products and platforms
Her process now:
Write content (20 minutes)
Check her CTA library (10 seconds)
Copy relevant platform-specific CTA (5 seconds)
Post with clear monetization path (5 seconds)
Total time: 20 minutes. Not 50 minutes.
Her AI sidekick handles CTA generation in 60 seconds. Bingo.
