4. Create a Lead Magnet

According to Investopedia, a lead magnet is a marketing term for a free item or service that is given away for the purpose of gathering contact details; for example, lead magnets can be trial subscriptions, samples, white papers, e-newsletters, and free consultations.

Marketers use lead magnets to create sales leads. The marketers attempt to convert the leads into paying customers of a product or service, or they may market unrelated offerings to the sales leads.

Lead magnets are also free content but what makes them a bit different is that they are either used to collect email addresses for email marketing or to upsell a paid offer.

When your prospects gain so much value from your lead magnets, they are convinced that you know your onions and will eventually become your customers.
