A Multi-Purpose Lead Magnet for Nearly Any Niche

Posted by

I know that sometimes creating a lead magnet is a huge stumbling block for marketers who want to list build, so I’m going to give you your very own lead magnet here in the form of Micro Habits for Online Marketers.

You can, of course, adapt this cheat sheet to any niche you choose simply by tailoring the language a little bit.

As you know, a lead magnet is what you give away in exchange for a person’s email address to get them on your list. Your lead magnet should be something they want enough to take the time to input their email into the form.

To use this cheat sheet I’m giving you, just do the following:

1: Title your cheat sheet. Here’s a formula you can use or create your own title.

[Niche Name]: [Number] Micro Habits to Change Your Life

Examples:

Gardeners: 44 Micro Habits to Change Your Life

Online Marketers: 75 Micro Habits to Change Your Life

Dentists: 35 Micro Habits to Change Your Life

2: Write out 5 to 10 broad categories for your micro habits. You can use the categories provided in this example or create your own.

3: After each category, provide 5 to 10 micro habits of 1 – 2 sentences each.

That’s it!

Here’s our example. Feel free to adapt this to you own use by changing the language, removing or inserting your own micro habits, changing formatting and so forth.

 

Online Marketers: XX Micro Habits to Change Your Life

Discover What Kind of Life You Want

1 Choose your goals and what you want to achieve in life.

2 Make your plan, figuring out how you will achieve those goals.

3 Take action on your goals every single day.

4 Track your progress daily because what you keep track of grows. Write down what you’re doing, what’s working, what you need to change and what you will accomplish tomorrow.

Clear the Mental Obstacles in Your Path

5 Become friends with fear and don’t let it stop you from starting and achieving your goals.

6 Build your confidence by successfully accomplishing many small steps towards your goal.

7 Become aware of any excuses you tell yourself. When you realize you’re making excuses, write them down and then burn the paper because that is not who you are.

8 Take some small action right away before you overthink things or get distracted each morning. Just taking that first step builds momentum and makes it easier to keep going from there.

9 Don’t compare yourself to others and instead be happy for others while you travel your own path and live your own life.
