Why lead magnets are so powerful
See, there's this little secret around how the most successful online businesses attract customersā¦
They give away helpful resources, so-called lead magnets, in exchange of their customersā contact information.
Lead magnets are like mysterious sirens, drawing in innocent sailors (or in this case, prospects) towards their ship (or sales funnel).
Except in the business case, everyone benefits:
Your prospects get useful information, and you get their attention and contact information.
Common examples of lead magnets are:
Ebooks
Checklists
Email courses
Lead magnets are so powerful because they make your prospects an offer they canāt refuse.

They increase your conversion rates for practically everything:
Newsletters
Sales calls
Getting your nephew a role in a Hollywood movie
For example, what sounds more compelling to you?
a) āsign up for my newsletter!ā
b) āLearn how to produce a weekās worth of content in 1 hour with my free ebook - enter your email & Iāll send it to youā
Alternative a) sounds like a chore, while b) sounds like a no-brainer offer.
Now, what makes a world-class lead magnet?
The best lead magnets to at least one of two things for your customer:
1) Solve a gut-wrenching problem they have.
2) Help them snatch something they're drooling after.
Itās not that hard - itās like dating...
ā¦but without the awkward silence.
WHY LEAD MAGNETS ARE SO POWERFUL
Increase your conversions
Attracts highly interested prospects
Feeds your sales funnel or email list
But creating lead magnets can take tens of hours, days, or even weeks.
