Are you making the most out of your lead magnets?

They are a powerful marketing tool, one that every marketer should know how to leverage.

You create a lead magnet to draw out a specific action from your audience. But while you’re offering a piece of content for free, you’re also asking something in return. 

Depending on your goals, you could ask for an email or a phone number or maybe request a particular action, like subscribing to a podcast or a YouTube channel.

Whatever it is you’re giving away, you’re using it to entice your audience to engage with you. 

Essentially, you’re making an ethical bribe.

Lead magnets work so well because they’re built on an evergreen marketing principle - people love getting free stuff. Still, there’s a lot more you need to take into account to really make the most out of them.

Yes, creating a great lead magnet will skyrocket your conversion rate. But on your way there, you’re bound to run into all sorts of common traps. If you’re not careful, they could completely derail your campaign.

I’ve seen people make the same mistakes over and over again when it comes to lead magnets. All of them are easily avoidable.

And so for today, I want to share with you some essential questions you should always ask yourself before putting your lead magnet into place.

This checklist of top 9 mistakes to avoid when choosing a lead magnet giveaway will ensure you’re on point every single time.
