You want to build your email list because you know it’ll help you grow your business.

And you know an amazing lead magnet will help you attract subscribers and collect leads.

There’s just one problem: You don’t know what lead magnet to create.

You want something special, something attention-grabbing. Something that’s NOT your typical PDF!

(Nothing wrong with PDFs, of course, but you just wanna create something unique that your audience will love.)

I just had a conversation with my friend Dolly Delong on HER podcast, The Systems & Workflow Magic Podcast, about this very topic. 

Fun ways to build your email list:

We threw around some fun ideas for lead magnets that will help you grow your email list. It was such a great discussion that I knew I wanted to share it with you here, too! Listen to the episode (Apple Podcasts or Spotify) for a deeper dive into each one (or read the transcript of the episode on Dolly’s blog here).

• Leveraging Collaborations

I know PDFs seem like a fast and simple solution because they’re easy to create and they still convert, but don’t sell yourself short. There are so many other options for lead magnets. 

Creative lead magnets like these are fun, personalized, and special because they’re so different than that traditional PDF. And they’re great ways to grow your email list organically.

You’ll learn everything you need to build a bundle that grows your email list, including organizing a bundle, launching it, promoting it through your emails, and much more.
