The CTA that doesn’t feel like cringe

Most creators end like this:

“Thanks for watching, like and subscribe, see you next time 🙂”

Polite. Weak. Wasted.

The better CTA is:

Link → Gap → Promise

1. Link back to what you just discussed
2. Open a curiosity gap (make it feel incomplete)
3. Promise what the next video will unlock

Example

“We just broke down how creators keep attention with payoffs.

But none of it works if the opening is weak—because the audience never even gets to the payoff.

So watch this next video, and you’ll know exactly how to start every video so it hooks fast.”

That doesn’t feel like begging.

It feels like the story continues.
