Charts & Infographics

Infographics and charts lead themselves nicely to an optin. If you use these design elements in your articles, you can simply offer a printable PDF version of the same chart for your readers to download and use at home for easy reference.

Here’s an example of a very simple chart I made in Canva for an article on soil nutrient deficiencies that coverts quite well.

E-Books/Booklets

Another easy lead magnet is a short e-book or booklet. These booklets will cover one topic and provide your readers with extra value. Choose a topic that you write about often so that  you can use this optin on many different articles.

Worksheet & Workbooks

Do you teach your readers how to do to things? Is your niche more hands on? Try creating a worksheet or workbook to go along with your content.

Get your readers thinking and planning and help them reach the outcome they desire!

Worksheets can add a ton of value to blog posts- try one out- you may be surprised at how well they convert!

 

Checklists

Checklists are a great lead magnet option if you do a lot of how to post or are teaching a specific topic. Checklists are an easy way to give your readers a simple blueprint to what you are teaching.

Cheat Sheets

Cheat sheets are a great way to give your readers a quick and condensed version of what you just taught them. It gives them the information they need in a quick, easy, and downloadable format. Your cheat sheet can cover any topic you want and can be specific to one article or niche specific.

I suggest making a PDF as opposed to a long infographic like image so that your reader can download and print your information.

Food blogger? Make a substitution cheat sheet. Web Design Blogger? How about a CSS cheat sheet?

Just ask yourself, when you were a beginner which information did you look up over and over again or bookmark and visit often?
