00:00:01.743 --> 00:00:02.525
Hey, hey, hey.

00:00:02.525 --> 00:00:06.073
This is Sarah Noelle Block and you are listening to Tiny Marketing.

00:00:06.073 --> 00:00:16.609
This is the uncut summer series where you are getting the raw, unfiltered, unedited recordings from our interviews, webinars and workshops.

00:00:16.609 --> 00:00:20.070
So sit back, relax and enjoy the ridiculousness.

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:37.973
It is Sarah Noelle Block, the host of the tiny marketing show, and today I am sharing the audio from my popular workshop craft a killer lead magnet that I did this past winter.

00:00:37.973 --> 00:00:45.640
If, as you're listening to this, you're like dang, dang, I wish I was there live, you can almost be there live.

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:58.329
I have converted this into a quick win mini course so you can get access to the replay, the workbook and the tiny marketing club community.

00:00:58.329 --> 00:01:04.828
So I'll put the link in the show notes page and you can get access to that All right.

00:01:04.828 --> 00:01:06.513
Now on to the replay.

00:01:09.161 --> 00:01:21.490
So I told you earlier which didn't record because I forgot to hit record I told you earlier that my ideal audience is B2B companies with zero to two person marketing departments.

00:01:21.490 --> 00:01:27.001
So they have some clear problems and challenges that they're all going through.

00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:36.867
They don't have a lot of time, their resources are minimal, they aren't sure, usually like where to focus their marketing on.

00:01:36.867 --> 00:01:42.364
They need to focus on, like streamlining their marketing and they don't know what's going to be the most effective.

00:01:42.364 --> 00:01:47.715
So those are some key challenges that I can look into as I create lead magnets.

00:01:47.715 --> 00:01:58.930
So one of my lead magnets, as an example, is a quiz that helps you identify your what could be your core marketing.

00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:17.812
So by core marketing, it's what's this thing that you can create consistently, what makes sense for you and that works really well for those zero to two person marketing departments because they don't have time to do all the things, but this is the one thing they can do consistently that would make sense for their business.

00:02:17.812 --> 00:02:21.128
So that's an example of what that would look like.

00:02:21.128 --> 00:02:33.442
Okay, so when you're choosing a lead magnet, you have lots of different options and we'll get into what makes sense for your audience, but these are some ones that you would want to look at.

00:02:33.442 --> 00:02:36.367
So a PDF could look like a guide or an ebook.

00:02:36.367 --> 00:02:38.592
I download those all the time.

00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:48.304
Webinars, masterclasses so the difference between those webinars live masterclasses usually a pre-recorded webinar.

00:02:48.304 --> 00:02:49.225
That's all it is.

00:02:49.225 --> 00:02:51.771
Maybe it has a workbook attached to it.

00:02:51.771 --> 00:02:54.943
A mini course, that'd be.

00:02:54.943 --> 00:03:00.574
Usually it's like multiple videos with a workbook attached to it.

00:03:00.574 --> 00:03:05.653
A workshop like this, a quiz I use Typeform for mine.

00:03:05.653 --> 00:03:10.185
It's like $25 a month, but you could even find free versions of it.

00:03:10.185 --> 00:03:15.253
I'm going to switch this lead magnet format.

00:03:15.253 --> 00:03:19.026
There you go, templates.

00:03:19.026 --> 00:03:23.634
So, if anybody, I saw that a lot of people came in over from LinkedIn.

00:03:23.634 --> 00:03:28.906
If anybody, I saw that a lot of people came in over from LinkedIn.

00:03:28.925 --> 00:03:32.055
But one thing that I was talking about before is I found a article was doing really, really well.

00:03:32.055 --> 00:03:34.842
It kept ranking really high in Google.

00:03:34.842 --> 00:03:39.740
So I took that article and I was like, okay, I'm going to create a template from this.

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:42.383
It was about quarterly marketing plans.

00:03:42.383 --> 00:03:48.872
So I created a quarterly marketing plan template and it got me 200 new leads in one week.

00:03:48.872 --> 00:03:56.713
So looking at that low-hanging fruit, the stuff that's already ranking and doing well, that is easy.

00:03:56.713 --> 00:04:04.568
You create some sort of content upgrade from that and it's an easy way to get those those passive leads.

00:04:06.010 --> 00:04:17.882
And the last tools people love tools and my email is in so many people's subscriber lists because I can't resist a calculator or a master class.

00:04:17.882 --> 00:04:20.726
But those are some things that you'll want to look like.

00:04:20.726 --> 00:04:26.495
Look, I definitely get a lot of downloads of my templates ungated at the moment.

00:04:26.495 --> 00:04:31.031
Girl gate, that All right, matt, you asked.

00:04:31.031 --> 00:04:41.213
Can I ask how effective you found the quizzes in terms of volume or value per leads, versus other types of lead magnets, the quizzes have been lower value.

00:04:41.213 --> 00:04:42.161
To be honest.

00:04:42.161 --> 00:04:51.675
They're fun to do and lots of people do them because they're fun, but the templates have been better and events are better than that.

00:04:51.675 --> 00:05:03.035
So if you're looking at people who move from subscriber to sale, event marketing is better.

00:05:03.035 --> 00:05:10.427
So the webinars, the masterclass, master classes, the mini courses, the workshops those have a higher rate of return on that.

00:05:11.848 --> 00:05:12.490
Um, let's see.

00:05:12.490 --> 00:05:13.793
I'm just looking at the questions.

00:05:13.793 --> 00:05:18.367
I keep thinking I have a budget for remarketing based on ungated downloads.

00:05:18.367 --> 00:05:22.380
Yeah, just gate it your.

00:05:22.380 --> 00:05:24.163
Your content is amazing.

00:05:24.884 --> 00:05:31.415
Michelle was on one of no many, many podcast episodes of Tiny Marketing and she's a genius.

00:05:31.415 --> 00:05:34.228
So say hi to her, follow her.

00:05:34.228 --> 00:05:40.132
Okay, how do you know which one is right for your target market?

00:05:40.132 --> 00:05:44.100
What content medium does your audience prefer?

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:49.646
So look at the content you're already creating and what do they gravitate towards the most.

00:05:49.646 --> 00:05:53.862
So when I'm doing this for clients, I look at all of their analytics.

00:05:53.862 --> 00:06:05.394
I look at Google Analytics, I look at their YouTube analytics, I look at their podcasts and I see what content people are actually gravitating towards.

00:06:07.041 --> 00:06:09.649
On sales calls, they might be asking for something.

00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:11.987
What kind of content do they ask for?

00:06:11.987 --> 00:06:15.288
What do you already create?

00:06:15.288 --> 00:06:28.952
So, when it comes down to it, you might not be able to create something super robust because you just don't have the resources to do it, but you want to create something and that's okay.

00:06:28.952 --> 00:06:32.884
So what do you have the capability and the capacity to create?

00:06:32.884 --> 00:06:34.125
And start there.

00:06:34.125 --> 00:06:39.475
The easiest thing a PDF download or a template.

00:06:39.475 --> 00:06:41.002
It takes minutes.

00:06:41.002 --> 00:06:43.365
It takes minutes to create a template.

00:06:43.365 --> 00:06:48.392
You can use the ones that you're already using for your business and gate those.

00:06:48.392 --> 00:06:51.257
That's one thing I did too.

00:06:51.257 --> 00:07:00.615
I started compiling the templates that I create that I use in my own business, and gating those, and those do fabulously.

00:07:02.781 --> 00:07:08.452
What do you feel comfortable with and what can you create with the resources you have?

00:07:08.452 --> 00:07:25.329
So, when it comes down to figuring out the right format and you want to do it right and you're willing to invest in it I would recommend that you interview some of your favorite customers first and see what they like.

00:07:25.329 --> 00:07:31.494
So I do this for clients all the time In my strategic story offer.

00:07:31.494 --> 00:07:38.470
I interview their customers and I identify what lead magnet makes sense for them.

00:07:38.470 --> 00:07:40.134
But you don't need me to do it.

00:07:40.134 --> 00:07:46.882
You guys can have conversations with your own clients and ask them what kind of content do you prefer?

00:07:46.882 --> 00:07:49.649
What do you gravitate towards?

00:07:49.649 --> 00:07:52.944
When you're trying to learn something, that's the biggest thing.

00:07:52.944 --> 00:08:07.353
People tend to look for solutions when they're going through some sort of challenge, some sort of problem, and they're going to start looking for certain types of content.

00:08:07.353 --> 00:08:11.107
So ask them, have these conversations with your customers.

00:08:11.107 --> 00:08:20.411
I did this for one of my clients and something that they never even knew their customers wanted was what came up the most.

00:08:20.411 --> 00:08:25.391
They're like I actually really like e-courses, which is something they weren't doing.

00:08:25.391 --> 00:08:33.043
It wasn't on their radar, but consistently over these customer interviews, they kept saying I want e-courses.

00:08:33.043 --> 00:08:35.350
So it gave us a good direction.

00:08:35.350 --> 00:08:46.991
You don't have to create a full course and sell it, but you can create a mini course and make it available as a lead magnet course and make it available as a lead magnet.

00:08:47.011 --> 00:08:48.774
It's an Alex Hermesi thing.

00:08:48.774 --> 00:09:03.259
I read his book, loved it, but he mentioned he did his book on Kindle, audible and YouTube and it was an even split across all media types.

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:09.340
Ah, yes, okay, yes, okay.

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:09.640
One thing, yeah.

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:11.303
So what Alex does that's being mentioned in the chat right now is he did a.

00:09:11.303 --> 00:09:16.432
He did a Kindle ebook and it was so cheap I bought it.

00:09:16.432 --> 00:09:35.110
It was like 99 cents, something like that but the gold comes from all of the links that he has in his ebook that has gated resources attached to it, so it's distributed that way, but he gets all the email addresses through the gated content available within the ebook.

00:09:37.104 --> 00:09:43.447
Could you please explain that Google template you mentioned a few minutes ago, like oh, what's already ranking?

00:09:43.447 --> 00:09:52.229
Okay, so in Google Analytics I look at what blog posts or content podcasts are already ranking really high.

00:09:52.229 --> 00:09:53.751
So I use search.

00:09:53.751 --> 00:09:55.903
I was going to give you the URL.

00:09:55.903 --> 00:10:10.287
It's Google Search Console and it tells me what content people are finding on my website, how often they're finding it, what keywords they're using to find it and across the board it's quarterly marketing plans.

00:10:10.287 --> 00:10:22.764
Like, by a long shot, visual case studies is next, but knowing that I'm getting hundreds of visitors searching for quarterly marketing plans makes it so easy.

00:10:22.764 --> 00:10:26.933
Ah duh, sarah, create a quarterly marketing plan template.

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:33.327
So go to Search Console, if you haven't already, and see what content you already have.

00:10:33.327 --> 00:10:44.191
That could potentially have some sort of lead magnet attached to it, because that's a nice way of saying okay, that is where I should be spending my time.

00:10:44.191 --> 00:10:49.301
Okay, I'm going to pause that.

00:10:49.301 --> 00:10:51.625
I don't want you to do that yet.

00:10:51.625 --> 00:10:56.660
Okay, how do you identify the lead magnet for the right topic for your lead magnet?

00:10:56.660 --> 00:11:00.746
Okay, so this is what I was just talking about.

00:11:00.746 --> 00:11:03.190
What content is already ranking well on Google?

00:11:03.190 --> 00:11:06.855
What is your most popular content?

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:11.269
A nice way to test is through mini content.

00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:28.886
If you have a list of ideas that you are considering for your lead magnet, start writing posts on whatever social media platform that you have an audience on and see what gets the most engagement, because that's a great hint, it's a good way.

00:11:28.886 --> 00:11:38.658
It's like a two minute test, and you can also look through your social media analytics and see what posts are highly engaged.

00:11:38.658 --> 00:11:40.279
What got a ton of reactions?

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:46.494
Yes, what questions are people asking online?

00:11:46.494 --> 00:11:50.008
So now we're going to talk a little bit about what.

00:11:50.048 --> 00:12:03.269
If you don't have an audience already, go to Google and start searching the challenges that you identified that your audience has and see what frequently asked questions come up or what other people ask in there.

00:12:03.269 --> 00:12:09.860
And then, what questions do people ask on sales calls and in your social media comments?

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:17.904
So, if you aren't doing this already, record all of your sales calls with a transcript attached.

00:12:17.904 --> 00:12:27.033
If you use Google Meets, it's included in the package and then you can start scanning for the questions that people are asking.

00:12:27.033 --> 00:12:29.645
This is the trick that I use.

00:12:29.645 --> 00:12:44.035
I take those transcripts, I copy and paste them into ChatGPT and I ask ChatGPT find what questions are people asking me on here, what challenges are they asking or are they bringing up?

00:12:44.035 --> 00:12:47.732
What is the transformation that they want to see?

00:12:47.732 --> 00:13:03.993
So by just copying and pasting the transcripts of the conversations I had with clients or discovery calls, I got a lot of good juice in there, and then ChatGPT does the heavy lifting for you, for you.

00:13:04.113 --> 00:13:07.996
So most engaged posts don't seem to include my ideal customer.

00:13:07.996 --> 00:13:21.905
Yeah, that is a struggle, so I want to hot seat this later.

00:13:21.905 --> 00:13:22.647
So let's come back to that.

00:13:22.647 --> 00:13:23.428
Let's get through this first.

00:13:23.428 --> 00:13:25.871
But that's a good question that we need to address.

00:13:25.892 --> 00:13:30.019
Okay, and if you don't have the answers, survey your audience.

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:41.725
Use SurveyMonkey, typeform, google Forms, any of those and just survey them and see what kind of questions they have, what challenges they're going through.

00:13:41.725 --> 00:13:54.552
If you guys are interested, I have a template for this, not dated, and I can send you what I send to my customers and what I send to my clients' customers.

00:13:54.552 --> 00:13:58.975
You can also run polls on social media and then schedule.

00:13:58.975 --> 00:14:05.259
This is a beautiful thing schedule connection calls with your past clients and have conversations with them.

00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:11.581
It feels awkward Certainly it does, but they're actually pretty happy to do it.

00:14:11.581 --> 00:14:20.655
I've been doing this lately and I have one found out exactly if my offers resonate with my ideal customer or not.

00:14:20.655 --> 00:14:28.808
But two they often say, oh, you should let me connect you with blah blah blah, because they could really use this offer.

00:14:28.808 --> 00:14:37.857
So having these conversations about what their challenges are and your potential solutions will also potentially bring in new referrals.

00:14:42.148 --> 00:14:57.914
Okay, let's go back to the workbook now and I want you to choose the lead magnet format that you think would work well for you and identify what does your audience need.

00:14:57.914 --> 00:15:01.835
Put down whatever you know right now.

00:15:01.835 --> 00:15:13.035
You'll want to revise this later, once you have a chance to go through your analytics and go through call your transcripts, but do what you have right now and then we'll get back to it.

00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:30.128
I'm going to resume my timer so you guys can do a little work, pausing this for just a second, because, as you come up with your ideas, put them in the chat, tell me what your initial ideas are for your lead magnet topic, and we'll get into that in a second.

00:15:30.128 --> 00:15:31.552
All right, I will resume.

00:15:31.552 --> 00:15:33.677
It'll also help me tell when you guys are done.

00:15:33.677 --> 00:15:38.255
All right, we will stop there to make sure that we have time for everything.

00:15:39.125 --> 00:15:44.513
I see that a lot of you already have some good ideas, though, and keep it going.

00:15:44.513 --> 00:15:55.153
Make sure to revise and refine as you're going through this and don't be afraid to test things out.

00:15:55.153 --> 00:16:04.147
I always say let's go to the marketing lab, let's just start with something simple and get it out there, and then go to the marketing lab and test some things out.

00:16:04.147 --> 00:16:05.932
You'll find what works well for you.

00:16:05.932 --> 00:16:29.327
We have a lot of people who are bringing up possible templates, and I think those I mean in my experience, templates have done really, really well, and I'm almost always willing to put in an email to access someone's templates if that's something that I really want, and they're quick to do.

00:16:29.327 --> 00:16:37.533
So those are a great first one to at least like get one out there, because they probably already exist on your drive because you're using them.

00:16:37.533 --> 00:16:42.967
Okay, on to the lead magnet structure.

00:16:42.967 --> 00:16:52.245
Okay, so the outline, your lead magnet is on page two, so that's the part we'll be working in.

00:16:52.245 --> 00:16:59.639
Next, I want to make sure that I'm getting I'm on my agenda in the right spot.

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.307
Okay, so lead magnet structure.

00:17:03.072 --> 00:17:06.924
As I was saying at the beginning of this session, start with the challenge you're addressing.

00:17:06.924 --> 00:17:26.396
You want to remind the user why they need the resource in the first place, so start with that and then next explain the transformation that they can.

00:17:26.396 --> 00:17:32.402
Is an employment lawyer and she's considering templates.

00:17:32.402 --> 00:17:37.752
So let's see here Helping employees craft emails to HR.

00:17:37.752 --> 00:17:41.178
Okay, so, templates for that.

00:17:41.178 --> 00:18:03.799
So the initial challenge that they're having is they probably just don't know how to approach an uncomfortable conversation with HR the employee and so, if that's the case, they need a template to be able to know how to do it appropriately and get the results that they want.

00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:05.713
So a template makes a ton of sense.

00:18:05.713 --> 00:18:13.299
So the challenge is they don't know how to talk to HR about this, whatever the issue is.

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:16.166
And then what's the transformation they can expect?

00:18:16.166 --> 00:18:18.913
Well, they're sending this email for a reason.

00:18:18.913 --> 00:18:20.777
So what is the reason?

00:18:20.777 --> 00:18:31.515
Cynthia, in the comments, tell me what is the reason that they are sending this email, what transformation is it that they are hoping to get?

00:18:31.515 --> 00:18:38.218
And then teach the thing and make it really easy to digest.

00:18:38.424 --> 00:18:40.009
So this is the structure that you want.

00:18:40.009 --> 00:18:48.878
To start with the challenge, even if you're doing a template, I always include in my templates a video where I walk people through it.

00:18:48.878 --> 00:18:53.237
But the first thing I do is I talk about the challenge that they're experiencing.

00:18:53.237 --> 00:18:59.285
What is it that they want their life to look like at the end of this challenge, when it's resolved?

00:18:59.285 --> 00:19:06.277
I discuss that, then I teach the thing and then I end with whatever the offer is that I'm doing with that.

00:19:06.277 --> 00:19:11.090
Okay, so they want HR to investigate or fix their concerns?

00:19:11.090 --> 00:19:15.946
Okay, so the transformation they want is a peaceful work environment.

00:19:16.106 --> 00:19:21.705
We'll say so that is something that you would want to include within the lead magnet structure.

00:19:21.705 --> 00:19:26.715
You get bonus points if you go over to the workbook, you'll see.

00:19:26.715 --> 00:19:38.030
You get bonus points if you can identify like, if you can structure it like this challenge solution, challenge solution, challenge solution three, specifically three.

00:19:38.030 --> 00:19:40.998
Those do really well for lead magnets.

00:19:40.998 --> 00:19:51.792
Now, if you're doing this in a template and they're getting something to Steve, I see you're requesting to share your screen.

00:19:51.792 --> 00:19:56.412
We'll have time at the end for questions, so I'll do that then I just want to make sure we get through everything first.

00:20:00.429 --> 00:20:26.711
Oh, if you're doing a template or a quiz, where you can't really use this challenge solution structure that easily leads to an offer, because basically the reason for that challenge solution structure is because you are giving them little micro wins throughout that lead magnet and then in the end they're going to be like well, I actually I need more support than just these micro wins, I need a huge win and that's where your offer comes in.

00:20:26.711 --> 00:20:35.461
But for templates, address the challenge and the solution and then walk through the template.

00:20:35.461 --> 00:20:52.096
So do that in the video and in the directions, at the very beginning of it, and then you always want to end with an offer, because a lead magnet doesn't really do anything if it doesn't lead to what your specific offer is.

00:20:52.096 --> 00:20:53.471
So tie it all together.

00:20:53.471 --> 00:21:01.856
So go over to your workbook and under outline your lead magnet.

00:21:01.856 --> 00:21:15.548
I want you to write down the challenge that you're solving with your lead magnet, the transformation that your customer can expect, and then the meat.

00:21:15.548 --> 00:21:36.419
You don't actually have to put in the details of the meat teaching the thing, but write down like one, two, three bullet points of what you expect to teach through your lead magnet and then bonus points for anybody who can weave in authority throughout this lead magnet.

00:21:36.419 --> 00:21:38.290
So what does authority look like?

00:21:38.290 --> 00:21:42.891
It's real life stories, it's case studies, it's testimonials.

00:21:42.891 --> 00:21:52.913
Anytime you can tell stories, factual stories, about your real life clients and the experience, the transformation they have experienced.

00:21:52.913 --> 00:22:01.577
Or if you can use numbers, even if you can't say those client names, you can give numbers of generic X client.

00:22:01.577 --> 00:22:06.997
That gives you a lot more credibility in your lead magnet.

00:22:06.997 --> 00:22:09.534
So weave those things into your lead magnet.

00:22:11.026 --> 00:22:15.718
So we're going to take a couple minutes to outline your lead magnet.

00:22:15.718 --> 00:22:20.556
I'm going to start the timer Muted.

00:22:20.556 --> 00:22:23.913
All right, we're going into headlines and value.

00:22:23.913 --> 00:22:28.286
Thanks, brie, I just noticed my red little bar on the mic.

00:22:28.286 --> 00:22:34.219
Okay, so we're going to go into headlines and value propositions.

00:22:35.826 --> 00:22:38.892
So let me give you some context when it comes to lead magnets.

00:22:38.892 --> 00:22:46.416
So something people hire me to do all the time is create all of their sales assets.

00:22:46.416 --> 00:23:03.118
So it would be a lead magnet their sales page, their sales emails and then all the technical setup for it, something I do at least once a month and I do the exact structure that I'm doing here, that I'm teaching you with them.

00:23:03.118 --> 00:23:09.278
So once I outline the lead magnet, I create the headlines and the value propositions.

00:23:09.278 --> 00:23:12.472
So this is how you can do it and this is why you need to do it.

00:23:12.472 --> 00:23:18.374
You need oh, I just got a note that you're on mute.

00:23:18.374 --> 00:23:20.221
My friend came in twice.

00:23:20.221 --> 00:23:21.986
I was like, am I still on mute?

00:23:21.986 --> 00:23:23.127
You guys can hear me, right?

00:23:23.127 --> 00:23:25.413
Okay, I'm going to go with.

00:23:25.413 --> 00:23:31.688
Yes, okay, cool, you can hear me.

00:23:31.688 --> 00:23:34.491
So why do you want to do this?

00:23:34.491 --> 00:23:44.326
You want to do this for your sales page, for the page that you're going to have this on, and for your social media and for your email.

00:23:44.326 --> 00:23:51.934
Having all of these set up ahead of time will make getting people to actually download it so much easier.

00:23:51.934 --> 00:24:04.747
So here's how you do it Outline the lead magnet we just started that, although I only give you two minutes to do it and then write down your ideal customer's challenges related to the topic of your lead magnet.

00:24:05.248 --> 00:24:06.392
So we did that earlier.

00:24:06.392 --> 00:24:15.056
Now jot down the transformation that they can expect from your lead magnet and connect everything to the challenge.

00:24:15.056 --> 00:24:17.593
So let me show you what this looks like.

00:24:17.593 --> 00:24:21.232
As an example.

00:24:21.232 --> 00:24:25.453
Let's say, the lead magnet is a webinar on how to use events to fill your funnel.

00:24:25.453 --> 00:24:30.428
I looked at what's the challenge that they are experiencing.

00:24:30.428 --> 00:24:36.950
They are experiencing, probably a dried up sales funnel, and that's the reason that they're looking at solutions for this.

00:24:36.950 --> 00:24:39.615
What transformation do they want?

00:24:39.615 --> 00:24:41.006
They want to be booked out.

00:24:41.006 --> 00:24:43.651
They don't want to have to work so hard for sales.

00:24:43.651 --> 00:24:56.009
So these are some value propositions or I like to call them sound bites on what you can use throughout your sales page, through emails, through social, to get people to actually care about your lead magnet.

00:24:56.009 --> 00:24:59.297
So I came up with tired of your pipeline drying up.

00:24:59.297 --> 00:25:01.531
Events will fill your pipeline faster.

00:25:01.531 --> 00:25:03.018
Get booked out with a single event.

00:25:03.018 --> 00:25:04.403
Fill your events.

00:25:04.403 --> 00:25:05.286
Fill your pipeline.

00:25:05.286 --> 00:25:07.631
Go from begging for leads to turning them away.

00:25:07.631 --> 00:25:17.577
So these are just some soundbites that you can use through all of your marketing and it's a lot easier, as you're outlining it, to start coming up with these ideas.

00:25:18.901 --> 00:25:23.650
All right, now let's talk about the technical setup.

00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:40.528
So when you are doing a lead magnet, you will always need these first three pages a form page and that is where that's the gated thing where they need to fill out their email in order to gain access to it.

00:25:40.528 --> 00:25:41.549
Thank you, cynthia.

00:25:41.549 --> 00:25:41.609
Um.

00:25:41.609 --> 00:25:42.771
A thank you, cynthia, um.

00:25:42.771 --> 00:25:43.792
A thank you page.

00:25:43.792 --> 00:25:56.326
So they fill out the form and then, once they fill that out, it takes them to a thank you page, and a thank you page is so underrated because you can send them to your other content.

00:25:56.326 --> 00:26:06.626
So, as they, they fill that out and then you can say oh well, if you like this lead magnet, you'll love my podcast and you can send them over to your podcast.

00:26:06.626 --> 00:26:09.053
Or I also hang out on LinkedIn.

00:26:09.053 --> 00:26:11.346
Let's have a one-to-one conversation and connect to there.

00:26:11.346 --> 00:26:14.053
Connect and then link to your LinkedIn.

00:26:14.053 --> 00:26:21.531
Thank you, pages underrated and you need to move them over to your other content and doctrine them to your business.

00:26:21.531 --> 00:26:25.401
And then the third page is your delivery page.

00:26:25.401 --> 00:26:33.192
So that's where your content lives on and this could be, honestly, super freaking simple.

00:26:34.315 --> 00:26:50.189
I use Flowdesk and Flowdesk all three of those pages are included and it's also my email platform, so incredibly easy are included and it's also my email platform, so incredibly easy.

00:26:50.189 --> 00:26:52.814
Mailchimp is another one that all of this can be done right in MailChimp, same with Squarespace.

00:26:52.814 --> 00:26:56.526
All of the elements here can be done with that one tool.

00:26:56.526 --> 00:27:00.290
So you also need to automate everything.

00:27:00.290 --> 00:27:03.835
You can, so automatically send an email with delivery.

00:27:03.835 --> 00:27:15.419
I always deliver my lead magnet through email because people will put in fake emails and then still receive your lead magnet.

00:27:15.419 --> 00:27:38.856
So you can prevent that issue from happening by having you can automate this where when they fill out that form page, it adds them to a segment and you could do this automatically through Flowdesk, mailchimp, any platform and then it'll automatically send them an email with the delivery.

00:27:38.856 --> 00:27:47.910
So make sure on the thank you page that or no, actually on the form page, let them know that that's how it's being delivered so they put don't put in a fake email address.

00:27:47.910 --> 00:27:57.365
Then you'll want to automatically add them to the right segment and make sure that you put in like what is the lead magnet that they downloaded?

00:27:57.365 --> 00:28:08.548
That will um as the segment, so you know what they care about and you can also tailor your offers to that lead magnet.

00:28:08.548 --> 00:28:21.630
So you have a segmented list now where you could create a special offer just for those people who downloaded that lead magnet and make some money and then add them to a workflow for the offer.

00:28:21.630 --> 00:28:37.590
So when I mentioned earlier, I do this for clients all the time I create a seven-part email sequence that follows it so that each one of those emails helps that segment overcome an objection.

00:28:37.590 --> 00:28:42.856
So also here's a little bonus for you.

00:28:43.038 --> 00:28:49.796
But on your sales pages in the faq section, the faqs are not actually faqs.

00:28:49.796 --> 00:28:52.984
It's all objections that your customer needs to overcome.

00:28:52.984 --> 00:28:55.611
So reasons that they wouldn't buy from you.

00:28:55.611 --> 00:29:03.770
Put those as the frequently asked questions and then respond to it, so you're overcoming their objections before they actually even get on a sales call.

00:29:03.770 --> 00:29:12.240
All right, so tools you need for this delivery and technical setup You'll need email marketing.

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.588
You probably all have that already.

00:29:14.588 --> 00:29:31.132
You'll need a website and you don't actually really even need that if you use any of these tools that I mentioned here and the tools that do it all that I mentioned here and the tools that do it all because these all have landing pages for that.

00:29:31.132 --> 00:29:31.732
Thank you, matt.

00:29:31.752 --> 00:29:44.189
And then Zapier If all of your tools are disconnected, you'll want a Zap that connects everything so you're automatically moving people from that form to your email list and to the right segment.

00:29:44.189 --> 00:29:47.457
So you might need a zap if all of your tools are disconnected.

00:29:47.457 --> 00:29:49.652
Does anybody have questions about this?

00:29:49.652 --> 00:29:55.018
Because technical setup can be hard if you're not like in that world.

00:29:55.018 --> 00:30:04.430
If you have questions, put it in the chat and I'll address them, and I'll have all of these questions afterwards because it'll be in the recap.

00:30:04.430 --> 00:30:06.272
And I'll have all of these questions afterwards because it'll be in the recap.

00:30:06.272 --> 00:30:18.064
So if I don't get a chance to answer them on this call in the next six minutes, then I'll respond to them later and I'll just email you guys.

00:30:18.704 --> 00:30:24.472
Okay, let me see, I'm just scanning through.

00:30:24.472 --> 00:30:29.240
Okay, the last thing on this list is your promotion for it.

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:38.387
So I was recently going through my old proposals.

00:30:38.387 --> 00:30:39.329
I don't know why I was doing this.

00:30:39.329 --> 00:30:46.055
I was just interested to see, like, what people wanted to buy from me, and one thing that popped up pretty consistently is I have a lead magnet but no one's downloading it.

00:30:46.055 --> 00:30:51.214
So this is a promotion list that works.

00:30:51.214 --> 00:31:07.955
Every time I consistently have, every single day I have new passive leads come in that I didn't work at all for, because I had these working in the background, because I had these working in the background.

00:31:07.955 --> 00:31:20.105
So email marketing a nice thing to do right from the beginning is in your welcome sequence, when people enter your email list, to have this as a free gift, like bonus, there's your free lead magnet, whatever.

00:31:20.105 --> 00:31:23.392
That happens to be Little gifty in the first email.

00:31:24.645 --> 00:31:29.569
Your social media, obviously, but go a little bit bigger than you're thinking right now.

00:31:29.569 --> 00:31:32.145
You're probably thinking, okay, I'll write a post about this.

00:31:32.145 --> 00:31:38.363
No, what I want you to do is in your cover image for your social media.

00:31:38.363 --> 00:31:44.674
Whatever platform that you are focused on, I use LinkedIn, so I'll use that as an example.

00:31:44.674 --> 00:31:59.796
Whatever lead magnet I am trying to promote in that moment, I'll have a promotion in my cover image and then my main link in my profile will go to that lead magnet, so it's always promoting.

00:31:59.796 --> 00:32:05.265
Anytime someone goes to my LinkedIn page, they see whatever lead magnet I'm promoting at the moment.

00:32:05.265 --> 00:32:13.027
Someone goes to my LinkedIn page, they see whatever lead magnet I'm promoting at the moment and changing out your cover image is really effective for that.

00:32:13.047 --> 00:32:15.190
Newsletter swaps these work really great too.

00:32:15.190 --> 00:32:33.317
So this is finding partners that you can that also have an audience that's similar to yours and promoting their lead magnet in your newsletter and they promote your lead magnet in theirs.

00:32:33.317 --> 00:32:44.138
Live streams I usually do a live stream about an hour before I'm going to go live with a lead magnet to capture any stray bullets that haven't already signed up for it.

00:32:44.138 --> 00:32:54.915
Youtube video walkthrough so just walking through your lead magnet on YouTube and then having the download link in the description is really beneficial.

00:32:54.915 --> 00:32:59.429
Webinar swaps Similar to the newsletter.

00:32:59.429 --> 00:33:00.733
You partner with someone.

00:33:00.733 --> 00:33:12.055
Service companies usually focus on partnering with a product company and they do a swap, so you're doing a webinar and teaching their audience?

00:33:12.055 --> 00:33:18.872
Um, matt, I'll answer your question in a second.

00:33:18.872 --> 00:33:22.837
Um, okay, and then podcast testing.

00:33:22.837 --> 00:33:30.275
So I have someone who reaches out to other podcasts and gets me on other podcasts all the time.

00:33:30.275 --> 00:33:41.334
It's inexpensive and it gets me in front of my ideal target audiences at least once a week, but you always promote your lead magnet during those times.

00:33:42.596 --> 00:33:51.458
Articles If you were ever given the opportunity to write an article for someone else or a blog for someone else, in your bio have a link to your lead magnet.

00:33:51.458 --> 00:34:15.648
Meetupcom I know a few of you came from there, but meetupcom and Eventbrite those are great places to promote lead magnets if you're doing some sort of event associated with them and then spending a little dollars and doing advertising and then any partnerships that you can do.

00:34:15.648 --> 00:34:26.715
So there is a, there's a group called it's like an, a community called the Link, where you can connect with other people who are open to partnerships.

00:34:26.715 --> 00:34:28.871
So that's something you might want to check out.

00:34:28.871 --> 00:34:34.331
Michelle said I didn't realize that Meetup was still a thing.

00:34:34.331 --> 00:34:37.199
It is a thing and it is amazing.

00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.494
I've connected with so many great people through it.

00:34:41.726 --> 00:34:50.460
Okay, so if you are interested in outsourcing your lead magnet, you can schedule a quick 15-minute fit call.

00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:53.454
You'll get $200 off of your lead magnet creation.

00:34:53.454 --> 00:35:00.798
You can just grab that QR code here and we can just execute it for you.

00:35:00.798 --> 00:35:03.594
So that is an option.

00:35:03.594 --> 00:35:05.856
I thought it went away with Foursquare.

00:35:05.856 --> 00:35:08.286
Foursquare, I'm pretty sure, is definitely a way.

00:35:08.286 --> 00:35:20.829
And also, guys, whoever in the recap is shown as the most engaged on this workshop will get a free strategic spark session.

00:35:20.829 --> 00:35:31.652
So by the end of the day, I'll know who that is when it does that, and so you'll get a free strategic spark session worth $5.97.

00:35:31.652 --> 00:35:36.286
And yeah, I think that will be really helpful for your lead magnet.

00:35:39.150 --> 00:35:43.798
Okay, does anybody have any questions?

00:35:43.798 --> 00:35:48.547
We are right on time, but I will stay for a few minutes for anybody's questions.

00:35:48.547 --> 00:35:53.539
Feel free to unmute and I'm going to go through these questions in here.

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:59.000
Matt, you asked why I use Squarespace over WordPress or Webflow.

00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.688
The reason is because I know Squarespace.

00:36:01.688 --> 00:36:06.338
It's easy for me and I can do all of the work, all of the editing for me.

00:36:06.338 --> 00:36:09.030
Plus, I love that everything's included in it.

00:36:09.030 --> 00:36:12.505
I don't have to worry about plugins like with WordPress.

00:36:12.505 --> 00:36:28.878
I have so many clients on WordPress and it hurts my soul every time a plugin messes up the website, so that's why beautiful name.

00:36:30.179 --> 00:36:33.971
Um would love to hear more about flow desk for automating my emails.

00:36:33.971 --> 00:36:38.561
Okay, so I love flow desk and thank you, brad.

00:36:38.561 --> 00:36:39.965
Thanks for coming.

00:36:39.965 --> 00:36:49.125
Um, you can create a workflow and flow desk and it will send out your emails and sequences.

00:36:49.125 --> 00:36:51.313
So it makes it a lot easier.

00:36:51.313 --> 00:36:56.807
And if other people have that question too, I can create a loom walkthrough on how to do that.

00:36:56.807 --> 00:36:58.730
So easy.

00:36:58.730 --> 00:37:02.034
Um, need to jump all.

00:37:02.034 --> 00:37:02.295
All right.

00:37:02.295 --> 00:37:02.896
Bye, matt.

00:37:02.896 --> 00:37:03.976
Thank you for coming.

00:37:03.976 --> 00:37:06.360
I'm chilling here.

00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:10.168
Um, we're, we're wrapping up now.

00:37:10.168 --> 00:37:15.557
So thank you guys so much for joining me today.

00:37:15.557 --> 00:37:16.800
Thanks, michelle.

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:20.150
I am so glad that inspired you.

00:37:20.170 --> 00:37:27.833
Um, if you guys have any questions about lead magnets the nine people who are still on here you can email me directly too.

00:37:27.833 --> 00:37:28.775
I love chatting.

00:37:28.775 --> 00:37:29.958
I'm a chatty person.

00:37:29.958 --> 00:37:31.532
I work from home, so I'm lonely.

00:37:31.532 --> 00:37:41.458

00:37:41.458 --> 00:37:44.472
