About this episode
In this episode, Jess discusses how to create a lead magnet that attracts paying clients instead of just new subscribers.
So many people are teaching that "freebies" only grow your list with people who never want to pay you. "cheap clients". "freebie seekers." Which is simply...not true. The reason people aren't paying you after signing up for your lead magnet is NOT because they don't want to spend money. It's because your lead magnet was designed to sign new subscribers, not clients. (yeah, there's a big difference, and others simply aren't teaching this.) In this episode of Main Character Marketing, learn how to create a lead magnet for dream clients (vs subscribers) and what to implement on the backend automations so it ACTUALLY converts.
