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
Like them? Pay me, in Likesπ, and Commentsπ¬, and Sharesπ. And some Friday YES-ness β I appreciate you, Ash. β Signed up for my newsletter by mistake? Maybe even drunk? No problemo. Take control. Unsub below.π |

I have two bits of deliciousness for you today, Reader. Because Fridays are for giving - I mean, that's what they are for me. Sooooooo....here we go! DELICIOUSNESS NUMBER ONE: Something lovely happened to me a little while ago. I met someone called Pete. Pete is an actor, like me. And like me, he's also started his own business. And he has a podcast! It's called Not a Straight Line. Yesterday, our chat together dropped - and I have to say, I'm pretty jazzed about it. Pete's episodes are...
I'm a small person - physically. I'm not very tall. And in crowds, I'm easily shoved. Because other people are VERY important and they have to be places. Me and my smallness can fuck right off in this cases. Except, I'm kind of over it. A man pushed me the other day in London Bridge. I told him not to. I happened to be voice noting a friend at the time - so I happened to record it. Which happens to be here - so you can listen to it. I don't know if you need to hear this today but... NO ONE...
Reader! I have just removed myself from the house-moving pile of shit that has been my life for the past three weeks to say HELLO! Yep, I bought a flat. It's the biggest, scariest thing I've ever done. And I feel incredible. Like...just beyond the beyond. I. HAVE. ARRIVED. And I've learned a few things - π Moving is exhausting. I've not been this tired in the longest time. Yesterday, I lay down on my bed in the middle of the day and crashed. π Boxes take up a lot of space - and they're really...
