People will see the offer and either accept it and give their email, or they will leave your page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think it\u2019s one of the best ways to start list-building for beginners because it\u2019s pretty easy to do. But you must do things the right way to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you must etch into your brain is that your lead magnet must absolutely be something of<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high quality<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It must stand out from the pack and offer true value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>You will be judged!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your subscribers are far and away more likely to buy the products and services you recommend if they trust you. Gaining trust is the key to earning maximum profits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fastest way to gain trust is by overdelivering with your lead magnet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, this is the first time you and your subscribers have \u201cmet,\u201d &#8211; and first impressions mean everything. You <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be judged based on the quality of your lead magnet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Send your brand-new subscribers a shabby or underwhelming lead magnet and you\u2019ve lost them. It\u2019s just a matter of time until they unsubscribe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, send something of top-notch quality that really wows them, and you could have repeat customers for years and years. That\u2019s why a quality lead magnet is so important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many marketers create reports or how-to guides. They can be fine if done correctly. But I like to get personal with my lead magnet. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Help them make sales<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your new subscribers are just like you: they want to make money online. So\u2026 help them do it in your lead magnet!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me use John\u2019s Ambassador Program (of which I\u2019m a member) as an example. I want to get new subscribers onto John\u2019s webinar so they will join via my affiliate link, and I\u2019ll earn a commission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I could create a lead magnet that explains how people can make high-ticket commissions in this new Ambassador Program. Or, I could actually <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help them make money<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latter method is massively more effective. Here\u2019s what I do:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I create a landing page on which I offer people 200 free visitors into their funnel to kickstart their business when they join the Ambassador Program. I also offer 6 months of free coaching to help them succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A surefire way to gain trust<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember when I said you must gain trust? Well, nothing gains a measure of instant trust like offering people free money, which is basically what I\u2019m doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lead-magnet offer entices about 40% of people to sign on to my list. I then take them immediately to my \u201cbridge page.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a page where you introduce yourself and explain the benefits of the main offer, before sending them to that offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On my bridge page, I briefly explain what the AP is about. I tell my subscribers that the main way they make money is by sending traffic into a DFY funnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, to help them succeed I will send 200 people into their Super Funnel to help them grow their list and make their first sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I afford this? I take it out of my commission, and I\u2019ll still be turning a good profit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s a big win-win<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll gladly forfeit $200 to make $800. And in the process, I\u2019m helping my subscribers to make their first sales. It\u2019s a classic win-win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use the same strategy with any high-ticket program. You don\u2019t have to give free traffic. You could give a \u201crebate\u201d &#8211; when someone buys, get their receipt then plop $100 or even $200 into their PayPal account. You could offer to buy traffic and send it into their funnel; you could offer to make their first sale for them using your funnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your imagination. There\u2019s always a way you can help your new subscribers by taking a portion of your commission and investing it back in them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll make many more commissions than if you used a conventional lead magnet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to see what my funnel looks like, or if you\u2019d like to join me: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clkmg.com\/briancart64\/guestpost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CHECK IT OUT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a guest post written by Brian Carter, If you wish to be considered for a guest post then please contact me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The importance of having a quality lead magnet to build your list cannot be overstated.
