You walk into a store. If the first 15 seconds donât grab your attention, youâll probably walk right out. Thatâs exactly what happens on websites too. Youâve got just 15 seconds to make someone feel welcome and interested in what you have to offer. Yes, thatâs the average time spent on a website. Most website owners havenât figured this out yet. So, how do you grab their attention right away? đ Lead magnets, such as PDFs, quizzes, or action plans, are like a free taste test but for capturing emails and building long-term engagement. Why does this work so well? When people land on your site, they want value. If you offer something helpful in exchange for their email, like a free action plan or a personalized quiz result, youâre building trust and setting the stage for future conversations. Hereâs what you can do first: Choose your lead magnet: A PDF, quiz, or action plan that addresses your audienceâs main pain points or interests. For example, if youâre a fitness trainer, offer a â7-Day Home Workout Planâ PDF. If youâre a baker, create a âTop 10 Easy Dessert Recipesâ guide. Even if youâre just starting a blog about houseplants, you could offer a âBeginnerâs Guide to Not Killing Your Plants.â Think about what your audience needs most, and create something helpful around that. Whatever it is, create it thoughtfully, with the help of AI tools, such as Claude.ai, and pack it into a PDF or maybe a quiz with tools like Interact. Then, you can use platforms like Kit, Constant Contact, or even Beehiiv (yep, thatâs an affiliate link, but you might thank me later) to integrate your sign-up forms and lead magnets. These tools offer ready-made templates for pop-ups, landing pages, and email collection forms, so you donât need to start from scratch. So, what will you get from doing all of this? Your email list grows all by itself, day and night, without you having to do extra work. You get to know and help the exact people you want to reach by giving them something useful right away. You nurture long-term relationships with your audience, and keep them coming back for more. What I did first was create some free Pinterest templates as a freebie, it didnât take me hours to create, but it helped many save at least an hour. Even small things like this can make a huge difference! Cheers to your growth, Minosh. â |
