Are too many people landing on your site then leaving without taking action?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this sounds familiar, you need to create a lead magnet. <strong>Immediately<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as an opt-in bribe (a term I\u2019m not really a fan of), a lead magnet is any offer you give to a visitor in exchange for an email address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The offer is often the extra push they need to become a subscriber.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post,\u00a0we&#8217;ll hook\u00a0you up with 9 ideas for creating highly effective lead magnets. And just\u00a0as important, we&#8217;ll explain how to make them effective.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>Not All Lead Magnets Are Created Equal<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the situation, some lead magnets will be more effective than others. Your lead magnet of choice should be based on your audience, the type of product\/service you\u2019re selling, and what your goals are. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No\u00a0matter which one you choose, it\u00a0must be\u00a0<\/span><b><i>relevant<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In fact, using different lead magnets for specific posts will yield much better results than using one lead magnet throughout your entire site. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say for example that you run a fitness blog. You might have an offer for an eBook containing your ultimate workout guide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let\u2019s pretend that you just released a blog post about top 10 tips for eating healthy while on vacation. Offering a recipe guide as a lead magnet will likely convert a lot better than the workout guide. That&#8217;s because someone reading a post about eating healthy is likely more interested in recipes compared to workouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you understand what a lead magnet is and how to make them effective, let\u2019s dive into our list of ideas. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Email Course<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An email course is a fantastic way to educate your users about a certain topic and build rapport along the way. By consistently providing value in their inbox, you\u2019ll undoubtedly be seen as an expert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also another key benefit of an email course. It gets your readers used to opening email and hearing from you. This is crucial if\u00a0you plan on using emails to communicate with your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/email-course.png\" alt=\"Email course\" width=\"1100\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/email-course.png 1100w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/email-course-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.snappa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/email-course-1024x745.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When visitors leave our homepage without trying Snappa, we present them with an offer to join an email course about visual content.
