Eps 42 – How you can use lead magnets to get more training clients

https://hiredtrainer.com/episode-player/1769/lead-magnets-for-your-training-business.mp3

So who are the anonymous visitors to your website? With an attractive and useful lead-magnet, you can find out who they are, how to contact them and what they need help with…

Capture email addresses

Ever seen a pop-up or some advert for an ebook or a resource guide just begging to be dowloaded?

(Of course you have!)

You entered your email address and…(hey presto)…you saw a link to a download in your email inbox.

When you clicked on that link, you just proved that content-marketing really works.

As today’s guest Kevin says:

“….It’s very rare for someone to come to your website and immediately hire you. ‘So what you need to do is to get the email address of the visitor so you can contact them.

Then over time (once you have their email address) you can start to send them useful content. Over a period of time, you win their trust so that they are more likely to hire you.

Effectively, you need to build useful content in an attractive, concise format which convinces your target audience that your content is worth exchanging their email address for.

So where’s your first ebook?

Start writing today

The good news – as Kevin explains – is that you don’t have to write a 100-page tome or huge book!

Think of the last .pdf you downloaded from the web. It wasn’t the complete guide or the last-word on that subject, was it?

It didn’t need to be because most people just want a few tips (usually 3-7 steps) to accomplish something. That’s something like 500-800 words plus pictures.

The point is that you don’t have to write a whole book. You can start with something simple ..but valuable.

The beauty of software like Beacon.by is that you can select the kind of lead-magnet you want to create, and Beacon.by creates the front page, back page, table of contents….the works!

So, start up Microsoft Word or Google Docs and start with an outline, then add some content to each paragraph.

When you are ready, you can paste the words into Beacon.by and download your new ebook to feature on your website or email your customers.

What are you waiting for?….
