Surprise! The most successful offers don’t focus on your content
If you’re a small biz or freelancer, you’re expected to offer a freebie on your website or blog. It’s standard operating procedure. But a lead magnet is not the unique temptation for readers that it once was.
You may call it a complimentary resource, opt-in offer, or free download. Regardless, It’s an incentive that you give to readers and potential clients in exchange for their email address (or other contact info) and permission to send information — a checklist, cheat sheet, workbook, video, short eBook, infographic, or planner, for instance. You offer a lead magnet to grow your audience, whether it’s to add names to your mailing list or generate leads.
It is a particularly crucial piece of your marketing puzzle, especially if you’re a freelancer or solopreneur. Your freebie is one of the key ways you build your list and build your reach.
But since everyone creates a lead magnet and offers one on their website or blog, can yours stand out so readers actually want to opt in?
