How to create your lead magnet

Once you have an idea, the next step is actually making it. Most of the ideas above work well as a checklist, workbook, planner, or short e-book, all of which you can create in Canva without any design experience.

If you don’t want to start from scratch, my Ebook and Workbook Templates come with 89 pre-designed pages you can customise to your brand in about 15 minutes. They work with the free version of Canva and are available in A4 and US Letter.

Once your lead magnet is ready, you’ll need somewhere to send people and a way to deliver it. Here’s how to do that:

• How to set up your opt-in freebie using Kit
• How to set up your opt-in freebie using MailerLite

If you want to create a quiz as your lead magnet, Interact (affiliate link) is the tool I recommend.

There are so many ways to build your email list with the right freebie. The key is picking something your specific audience actually wants, and making it easy for them to use. I hope this list gives you a starting point.

If you have a course that sells during launches but goes quiet the rest of the time, a lead magnet is only one piece of the puzzle. The systems around it matter just as much.
