That is an excellent question my friend! The TL;DR answer is this: Your lead magnet needs to give your ideal client a quick win, solve an immediate, urgent challenge they want to overcome AND it needs to surface one or two new problems. 🤯 Say whaaaaat? If you're a dog trainer, your lead magnet can help a dog owner stop a dog from jumping at visitors. It reveals that behavior is a larger issue and leads to private training or a behavior-focused training program. If you're an ESL teacher, your lead magnet can help learners practice a few key pronunciation patterns they've been struggling with. It surfaces the need for personalized feedback and can lead to a practice lab membership. If you're a client attraction coach, your lead magnet can give folks 100 ways to attract clients. It surfaces the need for onboarding, client-tracking, and delivery systems, leading to your 12-week business coaching program. If you're a career coach, your lead magnet helps job seekers spot the reasons why their resume is being passed over. This reveals that they need to rewrite entire sections of it, leading to DFY resume rewrites and job-search coaching. The thing to keep in mind is that this is not a bait-and-switch. Once your lead magnet solves the first, urgent pain, it shows the next natural thing your person needs to address. In effect, your lead magnet is the first step in a real customer journey, not a random free PDF that looks pretty but does nothing.
