I Audited My Freebies—Here’s What I Found


Listen Later

Ever wondered if your freebies are helping people buy—or just taking up digital space? In this episode, I’m sharing how a single podcast (shoutout to Jenn Green!) made me rethink everything I’ve ever created. I ran my freebies through her mini/medium/large framework, pulled in ChatGPT to help, and uncovered a few surprising gaps—and a lot of hidden potential.

If you’ve got a few too many opt-ins floating around… this one’s for you.

[00:00] Something strange started happening with my freebies… 👀

[01:07] What does it really mean when someone downloads three freebies at once?

[01:56] Did my “everything” page work a little too well?

[02:43] Multiple freebies, multiple formats… but where’s the journey?

[03:51] A single podcast episode flipped how I think about every freebie I’ve made

[05:18] Do you have a strategy beyond opt-ins?

[05:46] So I fed ChatGPT the podcast transcript and said: analyze this for me

[06:57] The moment I realized I wasn’t repurposing my best content

[07:58] When AI told me I had no large lead magnets 😅

[08:39] What actually is a high-value freebie?

[10:09] Can a 20-minute video be considered “in-depth”?

[10:53] Spoiler: I don’t want to teach anything for 90 minutes

[12:41] Revisiting my “email guide” freebie

[13:29] Will turning one training into two formats = a better experience?

[14:48] My new non-negotiable: every freebie must lead to a win

[15:35] Want to clean up your own freebie graveyard? Start here

[16:23] It’s not about more content. It’s about making it all work together
