If your podcast is leaving you feeling a little stuck as you're doing your mid-year audit, the answer is almost never to burn it down and start fresh. I get the instinct to grab the lighter.

Plus, I give you a super simple CTA framework you can swipe and start using in your next episode.So if you're tired of giving CTAs that feel awkward (and you're ready to say yours like a human and finally know if it's doing what you want it to do) hit play and let's dive in.1:00 – The Worst Place to Put Your CTA (and Why It Turns Cold Listeners Off)2:40 – The Only “Rule” for CTA Placement That Actually Matters3:22 – Where Your CTA Actually Belongs (Hint: It's Not Pre-roll, Mid-roll, or Post-roll)6:52 – Why Saying Your CTA Like a Human Gets More Clicks (and Builds Trust)9:08 – The 3 Parts Every Strong CTA Should Include13:03 – How to Test, Track, and Tweak Your CTAs for Better ResultsOther Episodes You'll Love:How Do I Give a Podcast CTA That Doesn't Sound Salesy?→ This episode was recorded on the Deity VO-7USupport the showLiked this episode?

In this episode, Group CEO Greg Newman is joined by Director of Benchmarking Jorge Montepeque and Research Associate Vincent Wu to unpack a volatile week in oil markets following missile exchanges between Israel and Iran - exacerbated by the U.S. stepping in. With a dramatic rally in options and front-end time spreads giving way to an even sharper collapse, the team dissects what actually drove the price action—and what happens next. This week's discussion dives into:• Why options (not flat price) drove the rally: open interest, hedging panic, and call buying hysteria• The Strait of Hormuz closure fear trade; how serious is the risk of strait closure?• The Polymarket signal, GPS jamming rumours, and real-time tanker trolling• How ADNOC's tactics sparked chaos in the physical market - and put the Murban benchmark at risk• CTAs, hedge funds, and retail: who made money, and who got smoked?• Refinery margins explode again: who hedged at the top and what it means for supply• Plus: the return of OPEC to the spotlight - and why Trump's oil tweets may matter more than ever Want to trade? Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the pros express views with relative value trades, uncorrelated contracts, and smart positioning.

You KNOW you should give a call to action in every podcast episode. But every time you sit down to record, your brain short-circuits — should you tell them to follow the show? Join your list? Download the freebie? Book a call? Support your sponsor? Buy your thing? Say too much and you sound desperate. Say too little and you miss your chance to turn listeners into leads.In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason CTAs feel awkward, the difference between a call to engage and a call to action (yes, they're different), what to say instead of stacking five random asks at the end of your episode, and how to say exactly what listener needs to hear to take the next step. If you've ever felt unsure of what to offer, how to offer it, or afraid of pushing people away when you do — this is the missing link between your content and your conversions.Ready to give a podcast CTA that feels good and actually converts?

Over the course of her 5 month stay at the mental health unit she attempted suicide on 18 separate occasions. Following a seven-month trial at the Old Bailey, a jury found that not enough was done by the North East London Foundation NHS Trust, or ward manager Benjamin Aninakwa, to prevent Alice from killing herself. Alice's mum, Jane Figueiredo, has spent the last decade fighting to get the case to court. She discusses the impact it has had on her family.This week it was announced by Deloitte that the total revenues of Women's Super League (WSL) football clubs grew by 34 per cent to £65m in the 2023-24 season and are tipped to hit £100m for the first time next year. But while the four biggest-earning clubs generated most of the WSL revenue and the average WSL team's revenue increased there remains a yawning gap between the top and bottom teams. At the same time average attendances in the Women's Super League dropped by 10% last season compared with the previous campaign. To unpick this mixed picture we hear from Dr Christina Philippou, Associate Professor of Sports Finance at the University of Portsmouth.A new Cambridge University report published today calls on public health bodies like the NHS to offer apps that rival private FemTech services to prevent policing of reproductive choices.

Back in high school, I was that kid—the one who planned elaborate treasure hunt parties for my friends. I loved the thrill of creating a roadmap and leading them from clue to clue, always pointing to the next step. And honestly? That's what a great thank you page does, too. A wise mentor once told me, "You're always taking your people somewhere..." In this episode, we're talking about the most underutilized page in farm marketing—your thank you page. Whether it appears after someone signs up for your email list or buys your product, your thank you page isn't just a courtesy… it's a powerful moment in your customer's journey.
In this episode, Meredith Olmstead and social strategist Sophie Bawany share how credit unions and banks can make financial content actually work on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. From simplifying the message to embracing real, behind-the-scenes moments—this episode is your cheat sheet for Gen Z engagement.Key Takeaways:Simplify to Amplify - To engage younger audiences, financial institutions must strip away jargon and break complex topics into digestible, relatable bites—think “Part 1 of 3” video series or carousel posts that mirror how people actually scroll.Ditch the Polish, Embrace Personality - Overly produced content doesn't perform well on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Raw, behind-the-scenes, staff-led Reels and face-to-camera clips feel more authentic—and authenticity wins trust.Use Platform Features with Purpose - Polls, sliders, trending audio, and direct calls to action (CTAs) are native to social platforms for a reason. Smart marketers use them to boost engagement and drive community interaction, not just impressions.

From AI-generated content to the decline of organic search and the future of website conversions, they break down the biggest trends in digital marketing for 2025. Key Takeaways: AI tools are reshaping website design, making it faster but challenging creativity. SEO is evolving—Google’s AI-driven results are reducing organic traffic by up to 95%.

I explain how to articulate your unique value proposition in ways that resonate with your audience and distinguish you from competitors.

The digital marketing strategy behind Rocket Mortgage's $5.1 billion success reveals surprising strengths and weaknesses, creating unprecedented opportunities for forward-thinking marketers.While their revenue grew 34% last year, their approach contains a critical flaw that's costing them millions in potential growth despite spending $824 million annually on marketing.For businesses targeting high-value customers in competitive industries, understanding these strategic insights isn't just smart — it's becoming essential.In this episode, I reveal:• The hidden mechanics behind how Rocket achieves crystal-clear value propositions that convert (including how they structure CTAs with specific benefits rather than generic language)• Strategies to build a content marketing engine like Rocket's "Learn" section — which drives 1.4 million monthly organic visits and establishes crucial authority in a regulated industry• Why Rocket's failure to rank for commercial keywords is forcing them to spend millions on paid search — and how to avoid this expensive mistake in your own strategy• The exact content formats that high-converting mortgage sites should feature (based on competitor analysis of top-ranking finance sites)I'll share real-world success stories, including how we've helped mortgage clients implement similar strategies for exponential growth by balancing informational and commercial keyword targeting.As I explain in the pod:"Rocket should be dominating for commercial search terms like 'mortgage lenders' and 'mortgage calculator,' but they're leaving tens of millions in potential revenue on the table. Instead of ranking organically, they're paying millions monthly in PPC and affiliate commissions to get in front of the same customers they could reach for free."If you're ready to implement these strategies while avoiding Rocket's costly SEO mistakes, this episode provides your complete action plan for sustainable, efficient growth in competitive markets.Get the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/353/Listen to these episodes next:How We Earned a 600% Lead Gen Boost for Mortgage Lender in ONLY 4 Monthshttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/326/How Monzo Disrupted a $273B Industry...with Basic Marketinghttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/322/Steal This $7M SEO Strategyhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/245/

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Genevieve White, travel copywriting expert and Founder of Campion Comms & Coaching, about why there's so much important work that needs to happen before you ever put pen to paper when you're writing copy for your travel organization. Genevieve walks us through the customer journey, from the dreaming phase to planning and booking, explaining how your copy should meet travelers where they are, every step of the way. She also shares her favorite recipe for establishing a relatable and confident tone of voice and reveals how simplicity and clarity can make your words work harder for your brand. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Genevieve transitioned from a career in education to founding her own travel and tourism copywriting business, inspired by the Ikigai method and life changes How to craft effective copy, including the importance of deeply understanding your customer persona before writing How identifying and narrowing your target audience can transform general copy into messaging that resonates and attracts your ideal clients Why aligning your copy with different stages of the customer journey—dreaming, planning, booking, and aftercare—is crucial for moving potential travelers toward action The value of clarity, simplicity, and using “you/your” to create relatability Practical ways to instill that confidence in your writing before you get going How clear calls to action and strategically repeating key messages increase engagement on your website Think About Your Dream Customer Genevieve emphasizes that before you ever set pen to paper—or fingers to keyboard—you need to get crystal clear about who you want to attract. Lots of businesses make the mistake of casting too wide a net, hoping to appeal to “everyone,” but in reality, being everything to everyone often means resonating with no one. Genevieve suggests creating a detailed customer persona that goes beyond simple demographics like age and gender. Consider the customer's travel style, values, preferred communication platforms, and even lifestyle details, such as shopping habits or their idea of a perfect day. As she says, “It's by speaking directly to that person that you can really elevate your copy and stand out.” Match Your Copy to the Customer Journey Not all copy serves the same purpose. At various stages of their journey, from dreaming to planning, booking, and post-visit, travelers need different kinds of information and inspiration. Dreaming Stage: Here, your audience is searching for inspiration. Use evocative, sensory language to paint a picture and create a little FOMO (the fear of missing out). Focus on what makes your experience unique and let your destination's personality shine. Planning Stage: Now, your customer wants practical information. Provide details in a clear, organized manner. Use bullet points and white space to make information easy to digest, especially for mobile users. Be selective and avoid overwhelming readers with too much detail. Booking Stage: At this point, clarity and simplicity are key. Remove ambiguity and minimize unnecessary words. Make sure calls to action (CTAs) are prominent. Guide users smoothly and confidently through the booking process without distractions or confusion. The Recipe for a Great Brand Voice The most effective copy should feel like a conversation with a friend—relatable, personable, and confident. Brands often drift into a corporate or overly formal style that feels cold and unattractive. Use clear, simple language and write as you speak. Be mindful of corporate cliches in language, especially phrases like “we are passionate about.” Let people know about your expertise and offerings directly, by using simple phrases like “We do this,” or “Our experience includes…” A confident tone makes your brand more credible and helps your customer feel secure in choosing you. Genevieve recommends that if you're not feeling confident, don't write! Instead, get into a positive, empowered mindset before drafting your copy. Your energy will transfer to your words.
