3 lead magnet ideas for online service based businesses

Using an opt in or lead magnet is a fantastic way to grow an email list for any online business owner. However, a lot of the times, lead magnets get overlooked by online service based businesses who are trying to attract dream clients.

Perhaps you (an online service provider) think an opt in is only something digital product sellers should be using in their marketing strategies, or maybe you simply have no idea what your free offer could even be – whatever your reason may be, my goal is that by the end of this blog post you’ll be left itching to get started at creating a lead magnet of your very own!

Before we dive into the 3 lead magnet ideas you could create as a service based biz, let’s look at some of the benefits of using a free offer as a way to grow your email list:

  • A lead magnet helps you gauge your audience’s interest in your offer and helps you to show the value of your services. This is also how you prove to your audience that you know exactly what they need and you have the solution to help them overcome their current struggle.
  • A lead magnet allows you to show up as an expert in your niche which builds trust among those who would like to work with you in the future. It also allows you to show them why your service is so important and why they need your help to get to where they want to be.
  • A lead magnet is a great way to provide value to your audience which proves to them that you know your stuff, and that you have their best interest at heart. Not only will this nurture your connection with potential dream clients, but it will keep you top of mind when they are looking to hire someone in your niche.
  • A lead magnet helps to attract people to your business who are most likely going to hire you for your services, aka your dream clients! There is no point building a list filled with people who are not interested in your offer. A lead magnet preps your audience so that they will naturally want what you’re selling – your awesome services!

Sure, you probably already knew that it was a good list building strategy to use in your business, but what exactly does one send out as an online service provider?

Let’s take a look at 3 lead magnet ideas you can use to grow your email list and attract an audience filled with your dreamy, soulmate clients…

1. A fillable workbook or planner

Using a fillable workbook or planner is a great lead magnet idea for an online service based business, since you can use this as a way to prepare your dream clients for when they start to work with you. Not only does this help your audience overcome a specific pain point, but it also educates them on a topic within your niche that they’ll need to know about when they hire you. 

For example, if you are a web designer, your lead magnet could be a home page workbook where your audience would answer specific questions so that the web designer can create the optimum homepage. 

This lead magnet will help your dream client get clarity on what they need to prioritize on the homepage, and should they hire you to help them design the website, you’d have already checked off a crucial step before the project process begins!

2. Training in the form of an ebook or video

Education based resources are another way to provide value to your audience, and when packaged as a lead magnet, you cannot go wrong! 

Oftentimes as service providers we can forget small details that a client may need extra clarification on to avoid bumps later on in the project process. Offering some sort of training on a specific topic that tend to cause problems during a project, can be highly beneficial to both you and your potential dream client.

For example, if you are an Online Business Manager who uses Trello to manage projects, you may want to educate your audience on how to use Trello so by the time they hire you, they are already familiar with the platform. 

Please note that it is of utmost importance that the format you choose for your lead magnet appeals to your audience AND that you are comfortable creating it.

3. A checklist

Seriously, who doesn’t love a good checklist?!

Not only are checklists popular across the board, but they can be incredibly helpful too. PLUS, they’re super easy to create!

A checklist is a simple, yet effective, way to guide your audience through a specific process in your niche that they’d need to complete just before hiring you for your services. Using a checklist as a lead magnet can give your audience much needed clarity, while showcasing the importance of the service you offer – and, why it is better left to the experts, a.k.a. YOU.

For example, if you are a Pinterest Manager, you could create a simple checklist of what your audience needs to do to set up their Pinterest accounts. Once they have set up their account, the next step would be to hire you to manage and grow their profile for the best results. 

Remember, your lead magnet should NOT under any circumstances compete with your main offer. But rather, it should compliment your offer so that the logical next step would be to hire you!

3 things you should do to create the PERFECT lead magnet to attract your dream clients:

  1. Brainstorm steps your dream client would need to take before they hire you for your service, and take careful note of some of the “wins” they would achieve during these steps. The perfect lead magnet would be one that helps them achieve this win and sets up a path for them to book you for your service.
  2. Take a look at clients you have worked with in the past and think of any issues you experienced at the beginning of the project. What obstacles did your client need to overcome before the project could begin? And how can you create a simple solution to this problem which you can package as a lead magnet?
  3. Do a recon of what your dream clients are currently struggling with, or better yet, simply ask your clients and audience what it is they need help with in your niche. The trick here is to ask really specific, pointed questions – not vague, open questions that would get many different responses. You could also keep an eye on Facebook Groups or Instagram comments to find what your dream clients are struggling with so that you can create a simple solution for them. Keep in mind that your lead magnet must complement your main offer, help your audience achieve a small win, and set your offer up as the natural next step for them after using the freebie.

Creating and using a lead magnet to grow your email list is just the beginning of building an audience filled with potential dream clients! Now, you need to nurture your list so that your subscribers see you as an expert in your niche and you become their go-to-gal. 

Having an email list will do you no good if you are not consistently providing your subscribers with helpful, value-packed content that actually benefits them in some way. And, since they’ve already taken that crucial first step of signing up for your list to get hold of your lead magnet, you KNOW that they are interested in what you have to say.

So now you just need to show up and say it!

However, if you are not careful, this can very quickly slip to the bottom of your priority list when you are so wrapped up with client work – ask me, I know!

This is exactly why I created this awesome resource to help you prepare 2 months of email newsletters to nurture your subscribers into becoming your dream clients…

In a previous post I shared some lead magnet ideas for your online service based business, and also recommended Canva templates (which you can find in my shop 😉) to help you whip up something in a jiffy… But, whether you choose to go with an ebook, a workbook or a checklist, there are some pages, I believe, you should always try to include in your freebie to make it easier for your audience to consume. 1️⃣A beautiful cover page with the freebie title. How many files are currently sitting in your downloads folder on your computer? Your cover will make it easy to spot your document so that it does not get lost in that sea of downloads. 2️⃣An about page introducing you & your business. You want your new subscribers to become familiar with you and your business right off the bat. Your about page is where you get to start building connection and trust with those who are most likely going to hire you in the future. 3️⃣An overview page summarizing the core content. Give your new subscriber a brief of what they can expect from this document they just downloaded. This will encourage them to actually use the lead magnet instead of letting it gather virtual dust bunnies. 4️⃣Content pages explaining your main points. The most important part of your lead magnet is the actual content, and you need to be sure your design presents this content in the best possible way. 5️⃣Call-to-action page introducing your service. The most important page when it comes to the next step you want your new subscriber to take - not adding a CTA page will have you losing out on opportunities to sign on new clients! Do you think I left anything out? Let me know in the comments below if you’ve not added any of these pages to your lead magnet. 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽And remember: you can head over to my shop by clicking the link in my bio for my Canva Lead Magnet Template which was designed to help you provide your audience with incredible value, letting them know exactly why they should hire YOU!👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽

Whether you are creating an ebook, workbook, checklist or any sort of PDF for your lead magnet, you are going to need some design help to put it all together. If design is not your strong suit (and that’s totally okay!) you may struggle for hours putting something semi-decent together. You may even find some really cool free templates in Canva which you can piece together to create your lead magnet. While these are both options you can explore, here are the stumbling blocks that may just trip your up and cost you even more time: 🧱 your content won’t flow easily, making it hard for your audience to consume and actually take the action you want them to take. 🧱 the look and feel of your document may not appeal to your audience OR it may not look professional at all which could make them doubt your expertise - yikes! 🧱 mix matching templates from the Canva library may look odd if you don’t know how to design for total brand cohesion, which will throw off the person trying to consume the content of the lead magnet. So, with all this in mind, don’t you think a template that has a) been designed to put your content in the best light AND b) already has all the pages you need so you don’t have to worry about your lead magnet looking mismatched, is the perfect solution? I think so! And, I know exactly where you can find one too… 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Head over to my shop by clicking the link in my bio for my latest drop - the Canva Lead Magnet Template.👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽 You’ll also find templates which I designed especially with online service providers in mind such as client welcome packets, service & pricing guides, Instagram squares, Brand Kits, and even templates to get you started with Reels! Now tell me, how are you going to create your epic lead magnet? Will you be using Canva templates? Let me know in the comments 👇🏽

As an online service provider, list building can be tricky if you are using the same strategies as infopreneurs or digital product sellers. In fact, if you are using those strategies, you are setting yourself up for disappointment when it comes to finding dream clients! Here are 3 common mistakes I see many new online service providers make with their opt-in offer: 1️⃣Using A Service & Pricing Guide As A Lead Magnet When you are promoting a paid offer online, you should always make sure that important information regarding your offer is easy to find. This becomes even more necessary with services because people are less likely to jump through hoops to learn about a service, especially if they don’t know you. I’ve seen many online service providers use their service & pricing guide as an opt in – this is a big mistake for two reasons… Your service & pricing guide does not offer any sort of value to your audience and does not give you the opportunity to build trust with people who come into contact with your business. Asking people to subscribe to your list in order to receive your service & pricing guide is making it harder for potential clients to work with you. 2️⃣ Using Discovery Calls As An Opt In This may be an unpopular opinion, but the reason I believe it is a mistake to offer a discovery call as an opt in is that you are giving up your valuable time (and expertise) to someone who can easily turn around and not even give you a second thought. Or worse, use what they’ve gotten out of the call and do it themselves! 3️⃣ Creating An Opt In That Competes With Your Service This is a BIG NO-NO because when you create a freebie that directly competes with your main offer, you are building a list of subscribers who are unlikely to hire you. You are attracting subscribers who would like to DIY instead of outsource – not a potential paying client. 🤔I’m curious… What are your thoughts on using discovery calls as an opt-in? Have they been successful for you? Or are you over it? Let me know in the comments below!

As an online service provider, list building can be tricky if you are using the same strategies as infopreneurs or digital product sellers.

Get new eyes on your lead magnet, new subscribers to your list and new leads of potential dream clients with a collab! Some ideas for collabs include: 💡Taking part in a summit 💡Exchanging lead magnets 💡Participating in a joint offer 💡Podcast interview 💡Guest blogging 💡Guest training Once you’ve got your promo plan in place, all you need to do moving forward is continue to show up for your email community so they remember you as the go-to-girl in your niche. Thankfully, I have a blog filled with awesome tips to help you do all this and more so you can create a stunning online space for your business and get booked out with projects that make your heart SING. 💖Swing by for a read by clicking the link in my bio!

In a previous post I shared some lead magnet ideas for your online service based business, and also recommended Canva templates (which you can find in my shop 😉) to help you whip up something in a jiffy… But, whether you choose to go with an ebook, a workbook or a checklist, there are some pages, I believe, you should always try to include in your freebie to make it easier for your audience to consume. 1️⃣A beautiful cover page with the freebie title. How many files are currently sitting in your downloads folder on your computer? Your cover will make it easy to spot your document so that it does not get lost in that sea of downloads. 2️⃣An about page introducing you & your business. You want your new subscribers to become familiar with you and your business right off the bat. Your about page is where you get to start building connection and trust with those who are most likely going to hire you in the future. 3️⃣An overview page summarizing the core content. Give your new subscriber a brief of what they can expect from this document they just downloaded. This will encourage them to actually use the lead magnet instead of letting it gather virtual dust bunnies. 4️⃣Content pages explaining your main points. The most important part of your lead magnet is the actual content, and you need to be sure your design presents this content in the best possible way. 5️⃣Call-to-action page introducing your service. The most important page when it comes to the next step you want your new subscriber to take - not adding a CTA page will have you losing out on opportunities to sign on new clients! Do you think I left anything out? Let me know in the comments below if you’ve not added any of these pages to your lead magnet. 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽And remember: you can head over to my shop by clicking the link in my bio for my Canva Lead Magnet Template which was designed to help you provide your audience with incredible value, letting them know exactly why they should hire YOU!👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽

Whether you are creating an ebook, workbook, checklist or any sort of PDF for your lead magnet, you are going to need some design help to put it all together. If design is not your strong suit (and that’s totally okay!) you may struggle for hours putting something semi-decent together. You may even find some really cool free templates in Canva which you can piece together to create your lead magnet. While these are both options you can explore, here are the stumbling blocks that may just trip your up and cost you even more time: 🧱 your content won’t flow easily, making it hard for your audience to consume and actually take the action you want them to take. 🧱 the look and feel of your document may not appeal to your audience OR it may not look professional at all which could make them doubt your expertise - yikes! 🧱 mix matching templates from the Canva library may look odd if you don’t know how to design for total brand cohesion, which will throw off the person trying to consume the content of the lead magnet. So, with all this in mind, don’t you think a template that has a) been designed to put your content in the best light AND b) already has all the pages you need so you don’t have to worry about your lead magnet looking mismatched, is the perfect solution? I think so! And, I know exactly where you can find one too… 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Head over to my shop by clicking the link in my bio for my latest drop - the Canva Lead Magnet Template.👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽 You’ll also find templates which I designed especially with online service providers in mind such as client welcome packets, service & pricing guides, Instagram squares, Brand Kits, and even templates to get you started with Reels! Now tell me, how are you going to create your epic lead magnet? Will you be using Canva templates? Let me know in the comments 👇🏽

As an online service provider, list building can be tricky if you are using the same strategies as infopreneurs or digital product sellers. In fact, if you are using those strategies, you are setting yourself up for disappointment when it comes to finding dream clients! Here are 3 common mistakes I see many new online service providers make with their opt-in offer: 1️⃣Using A Service & Pricing Guide As A Lead Magnet When you are promoting a paid offer online, you should always make sure that important information regarding your offer is easy to find. This becomes even more necessary with services because people are less likely to jump through hoops to learn about a service, especially if they don’t know you. I’ve seen many online service providers use their service & pricing guide as an opt in – this is a big mistake for two reasons… Your service & pricing guide does not offer any sort of value to your audience and does not give you the opportunity to build trust with people who come into contact with your business. Asking people to subscribe to your list in order to receive your service & pricing guide is making it harder for potential clients to work with you. 2️⃣ Using Discovery Calls As An Opt In This may be an unpopular opinion, but the reason I believe it is a mistake to offer a discovery call as an opt in is that you are giving up your valuable time (and expertise) to someone who can easily turn around and not even give you a second thought. Or worse, use what they’ve gotten out of the call and do it themselves! 3️⃣ Creating An Opt In That Competes With Your Service This is a BIG NO-NO because when you create a freebie that directly competes with your main offer, you are building a list of subscribers who are unlikely to hire you. You are attracting subscribers who would like to DIY instead of outsource – not a potential paying client. 🤔I’m curious… What are your thoughts on using discovery calls as an opt-in? Have they been successful for you? Or are you over it? Let me know in the comments below!

As an online service provider, it can be tricky to find the right lead magnet idea for your audience since you don’t want your free offer to compete with your paid offers.
