Lesson 3 of 4 · 4 min
One clear next step
Quick recallWhich is a good "what happened" for a brief?Think of your answer, then open.
Our new Saturday 9 am class. One concrete thing, not a topic.
A reader who got to the end is ready to do one thing. "Book, share, follow and tag a friend" gives them four, and most pick none.
Pick the ask by your goal this week
- More bookings or sales: "Book through the link in bio."
- More leads: "Comment GUIDE and I'll send it to you." The course Turn comments into customers builds the automation.
- More reach: "Send this to someone who needs it."
- More conversation: a real question people can answer in a word.
Say exactly what to type or tap. "Comment SCHEDULE" beats "let us know if you want the schedule". Put the ask last.
Let Check post look

Press Check post under the text. The next step note turns yellow or red when the post ends without one. The same check covers the first line and any health or money promise that could mislead. It never stops you from publishing.
Do it
- Open a draft and pick the one ask that fits your goal.
- Make it exact and put it last.
- Press Check post and look for a green next step note.
