Step 3: Embed call to actions with Sniply
The final and most important step is to embed your call to action into the articles you’re sharing. Sniply is a link shortener that lets you embed a message into the page itself. For example, you can include a link to download your app, buy your book, register for an event, etc.

Last but not least, be creative with your call to action. Include an exciting announcement, offer a freebie, maybe an exclusive discount, or an event invitation. Just like any marketing strategies, A/B test different messages and watch the analytics.

Good luck!
