What is the purpose of your lead magnet? Did you create your lead magnet just to get an e-mail or launch your funnel?

The real purpose of your lead magnet is to create a relationship.

A lead magnet is something of value you give to a person in exchange for the contact information. This allows you to begin fostering a relationship with that individual.

I have created a new resource for you. It is my list of 21 Lead Magnet Ideas. You can get it here: https://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/magnet

When you download this worksheet, you will notice that it fits the 7 primary characteristics of a solid lead magnet.

The worksheet also contains a few examples of what a lead magnet should NOT be, such as a long e-book. Extensive material like an e-book or long video course takes too long to consume. Your audience is looking for quick results.

Be generous and give to your audience. Help them succeed. Lead magnets help you do just that. You are giving your resources and knowledge. This will help you begin to build a strong relationship with your listeners.

If with every action you expect something in return, your audience will sense it.

Let the law of reciprocity happen naturally. Some will take action. Others will not. Appreciate what you have. Help as many as you can.

PURPOSE

Your lead magnet should do five things.

1. Help your listener solve a known problem.

2. Be consumable in five minutes or less.

3. Begin creating your relationship.

4. Gain their e-mail address – sometimes.

5. Demonstrate your expertise.

Create a few lead magnets for your audience. Some will work. Others will not. Keep trying until you find one that clicks with your listeners.
