Description

Let’s be honest — most freebies out there? They’re not working.

If you’ve ever spent hours creating a lead magnet only for it to attract people who download and disappear, this episode is your new best friend.

In Part 3 of my 4-part email series, I’m breaking down why your freebie isn’t growing your list (hint: it’s not because freebies don’t work) and how to finally create one that brings in actual future customers — not just freebie hoarders.

From finding the perfect topic your people actually want to grabbing the right metrics to track whether it’s working, this episode gives you the full roadmap to a freebie that converts

In this episode, you’ll hear…

  • Why most freebies flop — and how to fix yours
  • The #1 rule for creating a freebie your audience can’t resist
  • How to reverse engineer your freebie from your offer
  • The secret to positioning your freebie so it attracts buyers, not browsers
  • Which numbers to track to know if your email list is really growing
