39 Lead Magnet Ideas that Convert into Profit by Terra Bohlmann

“What is a Lead Magnet, Terra?”

That’s one of the top questions I get from my private clients when I start talking all online marketing-y.

If you know what a lead magnet is…great. You are ahead of the curve. Skip the next sentence to get to the 50 ideas that you can use to create a lead magnet that converts into more profit.

A Lead Magnet is valuable, free content that you give your “perfect customer” in exchange for their name and email address.

Why do you do this? Because you want to WOW them and then continue to woo them with your amazing-ness.

It’s not a technical description but you get the point. Regardless, it’s pretty cool, right?

You give away free content that is a huge value to someone that may become your next customer. And for those who just take your freebie, it will serve them so that they can make more money and come back to you later. Not a bad way to serve the world!

​Now that you have 39 ideas, pick one and create the Lead Magnet that your perfect customer wants.

Then, use an email auto-responder system (like Mailchimp, AWeber, ActiveCampagin, Kartra or Infusionsoft) to deliver it when your ideal customer opt’s into your content from the internet. This is a great strategy to build your email list.

And…don’t worry about over-delivering. This is where you want to shine! Your ideal customer will think, “Wow, if her free stuff is **this good**, her paid stuff will be even better.”

(Public Service Announcement from Terra: Just make sure you over-deliver. Always.)

You should have a great lead magnet for each one of your signature products or offerings. Just start with one great one though.

Remember, don’t over complicate the lead magnets…sometimes having one “done” is better than stalling. You can always improve it later.

So, go and create your perfect Lead Magnet so it starts working hard for you and serves your ideal customers with immense value.
