When people click on the cover image for She Takes On the World, they’re given a brief description of the course and a direct link to get it. Why is it so important to reinforce your cover image CTA in your description, you ask? Because many people will actually click on the cover image rather than the CTA button! Make sure you’re not losing out on leads — place that link in your cover image description.
