If you\u2019ve ever wondered what digital freebies or lead magnets are and why you should use them to build your email list and prime your target market for your signature offer, then this post is for you!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lead magnet is simply a tool that marketers use to try to draw in (or attract, like magnets do!) potential customers or clients, also referred to as leads. These can literally be anything that your target market would have enough interest in that they would be willing to give up their email to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s an art to this though\u2014you want your lead magnet to align with your business enough that the people who get it won\u2019t want to click unsubscribe the moment you send them a marketing email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your business sells candles, then your grandma\u2019s chocolate chip cookie recipe probably wouldn\u2019t bring in your target market\u2014unless maybe that\u2019s one of the scents of your candles. Even then, the cookie recipe is only partially adjacent to the candle business, not inherently related. You\u2019d have to draw the connection to your candles explicitly yourself in order to attract the right people for your email list. For example: \u201cIf you\u2019re curious how our \u2018Grandma\u2019s House\u2019 candle smells, then download this free cookie recipe.\u201d Now that would have a better chance at drawing in your target market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to provide something of value to people, that relates to your primary offer closely enough to draw in the right people, but that doesn\u2019t completely give your offer away for free (or else no one would be willing to purchase it because they no longer need it). This may seem like a tall order\u2014and honestly, it kind of is! It will take some finagling on your part to figure out where that sweet spot is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the best,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
