A Lead Magnet can be anything from cheat sheets, mind maps, podcasts and of course eBooks. Given away for free or low-cost in exchange for a name, email address and other relevant details to create a new subscriber for you.
As an Online Business Owner, writing an ebook for a lead magnet is a proven way to get leads for your business. Before you write anything you need to be clear on your target market and understand the people you are writing for.
Below are five resources and ideas you can use to create and complete an eBook lead magnet.
Resource #1 – Create An eBook Lead Magnet With Blogs and Articles
If you have your own blog, then you may have a collection of good blog posts you can use as an eBook lead magnet.
Taking the pertinent points of relevant subjects can quickly give you the material you need to create an eBook that people will want to read.
Resource #2 – Record A Conversation
All too often I hear people saying that they don't have enough knowledge of the industry to write an eBook. Or they need more training to complete their own product.
That is until they become immersed in conversation…
Having an informal question-and-answer session with a friend will draw out your knowledge of the industry in a natural and fluid way. What you'll find is you will uncover golden nuggets of information that your subscribers will love. Recording and transcribing your conversation will give you unique material that you can use to create your first eBook lead magnet.
Resource #3 – Using PLR Private Label Rights
PLR in its many forms is widely available on the Internet, and you'll be forgiven for thinking that PLR is low-quality information.
If you decide to use PLR to create an eBook or lead magnet there are some important things to consider:
- Ensure the quality of the writing is a good standard
- Edit the content for your own ‘voice' and make it relevant to you
- Customize images and covers to brand yourself
- Replace the links with your own offers
- Ensure you have the proper licence in place
Resource #4 – Training Webinars
Webinars are a great source of information. It's your job to take lots of notes, and then use those notes as material for your eBook.
I always recommend applying what you have learned before you teach anything using the learn, do, teach mantra. This knowledge and experience can be added to your eBook and incorporates another layer of substance which can earn you the trust of your subscribers.
Resource #5 – How To Create An eBook With Books
Books form a huge part of learning and reference to all Online Business Owners. I'm always amazed at the tips and tricks I can learn from reading a good book.
Taking notes, and interpreting what you have learned will provide you with excellent material for your eBook. Just remember to adopt common sense and not copy sections of the book verbatim!
Here's my top recommendation for books you need to read.
