7 Confirmed Reasons Your Website Needs A Lead Magnet

Do you know why your website needs a lead magnet?

In this article, I reveal the 7 proven reasons why brands and marketers use lead magnets on their websites.

Moreover, I will show you how you can make money with your lead magnet in 3 ways that most people don't know.

Let's get started...

A lead magnet is a gift you give on your website to your target audience in exchange for their contact information, such as email or phone number.

Digital marketers use lead magnets to generate leads (potential customers) and build their email lists to promote products via email marketing.

A lead magnet can be:

Lead is a marketing term that stands for potential customer. Marketers use lead magnets to generate leads.

Lead generation allows marketers to build their email list and start promoting offers via their email campaigns, such as follow-ups (email automation).

Additionally, they use lead magnets to build their email list as a priority due to email marketing's high return on investment ($36 for only $1 spent).

A powerful email list protects your online business if social media platforms like Facebook ban your ad accounts.

For example,

You run a Facebook ad to promote a product, and suddenly you make a mistake by violating their ad policy, which enables Facebook to ban your accounts.

In this case, you can’t run ads anymore on Facebook, but if you have a robust email list, you can promote the same product to your email subscribers without any problem.

In my view, having an email list is the foundation of any online business, and I focus more on building my list than on any other thing.

Companies utilize lead magnets to increase their sales.

This can be achieved through thank-you pages, email marketing, and including links in the lead magnet PDFs.

I explain each one below:

The Thank You page is a page that appears for gratitude when someone signs up for your lead magnet and joins your email list.

Most experienced marketers and brands monetize their thank-you pages by introducing an offer to their new subscribers.

This method is helping them to increase sales and conversions.

Digital marketers and companies promote a product via email marketing when someone subscribes to their lead magnet.

They introduce an offer through follow-ups, also called email automation, and broadcast emails, which allow them to turn new subscribers into sales.

Actually, I provide a few value-based emails to new subscribers, and then I start promoting a new offer.

This method helps me to build a strong relationship with my subscribers, which leads to conversions and sales.

Lead magnet PDFs can be in the form of reports, checklists, and e-books. Some marketers monetize these PDFs.

The audience will receive the lead magnet PDF that they subscribed for in their email inbox through a welcome email.

In fact, they introduce an offer or an affiliate product in these PDFs naturally, which helps them to make sales.

When the subscriber reads the freebie and clicks the affiliate link in the PDF to purchase the product, you make commissions.

The main purpose of using lead magnets is to generate leads by providing valuable content to solve their problems.

If the target audience sees your freebie that can address their pain points, they will quickly enter their email addresses to receive it.

This method allows you to generate leads and solve people's problems simultaneously.

But make sure to discover the audience's pain points before creating a lead magnet.

A lead magnet is used to teach subscribers a specific topic. It can be through the video training, free course, e-book, etc.

Moreover, they can learn through email newsletters that provide helpful content to teach them something.

For example...

People sign up for video training that shows them how to start a profitable affiliate marketing business step-by-step.

Besides video training, they also receive informational email content daily to learn about affiliate marketing.

Let’s see a real example...

I signed up for Dr. Mark Hyman's daily email newsletter about three years ago. Since then, I have been receiving helpful content about nutrition and health every day.

I make it a habit to open his emails daily and read them to enhance my knowledge in nutrition, which I am particularly passionate about.

When you give people something for free, such as a helpful guide or a course, people perceive you as an expert in the topic and trust you.

This increased trust makes them more open to your advice and more likely to make a purchase later on via email campaigns.

A lead magnet is an effective tool to establish that trust right from the start.

Using lead magnets on your website helps build a strong relationship with your target audience.

because it gives them immediate value without asking for anything in return (except their email).

When people receive something useful like a free guide, checklist, or video they start to trust you and see you as someone who genuinely wants to help.

Once they join your email list, you can continue building that relationship through valuable story and info-based email campaigns.

Using a lead magnet on your website is essential.

Because it allows you to generate leads and build your email list.

Moreover, lead magnets show your expertise in the topic and enable the target audience to trust and buy from you.

Once you capture the leads via your lead magnets, you can sell your offers in 3 ways: the thank you page, email marketing, and the lead magnet itself.
