Let's get real about lead magnets

Happy Friday, Reader! Thank you for being here, I appreciate you. Are you ready for the juice? β Here's what I've got for you today, in a π₯: π‘My Favourite Finds (for more growth, engagement, and learning) π‘Lead magnet real talk π‘This week on the socials - my top LinkedIn experiences π‘The Friday YES-ness β My Favourite Findsβ β Most lead magnets do not work. Lemme tell you why. How many times have you signed up for a lead magnet using an email address you DO NOT use? A relegation email address. An email address specifically created to opt into freebies, but be free of all the nurture sequences, sales sequences and other emails that come with it? I do it all the time. I have a secret little email address that I use if I want a freebie but I'm not reeeeaallly into anything else the person is offering me. As of this very moment there are 4,897 unopened emails in that account. 4.8.9.7. β That's a lot of unopened emails. That's a lot of open rates I've affected (badly). A lot of click-through rates I've lowered. A looooot of cold subscriptions I've added to. β Question is: Are people doing the same thing to you? β They do it to me sometimes. I create a freebie (a cheat sheet or a pdf, or I join a bundle)... And I get some leads. A few. A small percentage. And then I also get email address like this: myfreebundleaddress@XXXX.com and listsandbundles@xxx.com and mysignupemailaddy@xxx.com β Cheeky buggers. β I mean, come one. You don't need that. I don't need it. No one does. β So, I'll say this one last time: The most engaged subcribers I've EVER had sign up to my list are the ones who took my quiz. Why? Because quizzes offer CRAZY good value. They show your audience who you are.β They make people want more. β They make people remember you. β Like Siobhan, who remembers me and my lead magnet from three years ago ( I mean, do YOU remember any freebies you signed up to three years ago?) β β And then she reposted my post yesterday because she LOVED my quiz like you'd love tiny furry puppy! β So, for the last time: Learn how to build one for your business.β In 90 minutes you'll learn:
And we will ACTION this stuff in the workshop. β But here's the kicker: β You will walk away with a quiz idea. And a new re-energised way of looking at your business, how you can help people, and HOW EXCITED people will be about finding you and your business when they've taken your quiz. β Someone bought the workshop yesterday as a Christmas gift to himself. So, why don't you do the same? Give yourself the opportunity to create a lead magnet that actually works. That gets people giving you their actual email addresses. The one they use every day. Because when they're done with your quiz they will be your super-fan. I know this from past experience. You in? βI can't wait to see you there!β Can't make it live today? No problem, you'll get the recording. Will I be running it again? Nope. Not for a long time. β β β This week on the socials...β

It's true, Reader Low-key is over. You're done with low-key. Low key is boring as fugg, mediocre, sad. It's the generic bollocks that ChatGPT spits out when you ask it for an email sequence. It's the bro marketers who keep telling you that you should be making millions of dollars from LinkedIn. It's daily posts that say the same thing as everyone else. You? You are high-key. You vibrate with excellence. You have a message. A story. A purpose. What is it? Because here's the thing. And I've...
You ever wish you could sit your younger self down and give yourself a pep talk? Because SAME. If I could zap back to my 20s, I'd pull myself towards myself and say... 'Self, why are you letting these colleagues belittle and bully you in front of other people?' 'Self, don't marry that guy - it is going to end in utter effing disaster and you are better than that.' 'Self, THROW THAT OUTFIT AWAY - It is not serving you.' And my younger me would roll her eyes and say, 'Urgh, you don't know me,...
Oh HEY THERE, Reader! Happy happy 2025. What a time to be alive, hey. The world feels BROKEN. Just absolute bonkersness all around. Skeletal bodies ruling Hollywood. Skeletal minds ruling LinkedIn. I don't know about you, but I'm finding LinkedIn BONKERZZZ. Mad. Insane. I took a break from posting and consuming content on LinkedIn over the holidays, and I felt the hugest sense of relief. I was notified though about people who were posting - the 'gurus' mainly. They posted every single day....
