Happy Thursday EduCreator!

Today’s space was kind of a wild one, and yet it was still great, because of this amazing community! Thank you so much for helping me hold it down!

We discussed the importance of a high quality lead magnet (ie. guide, email course, challenge, ebook, etc) to help grow your email list. We also reminded everyone of the basics and keeping it simple.

For your first 100 subscribers, reaching out directly to your friends, family, and communities will give you a major boost.

This poll says it all. Subscribers want educational content:

Because of AI, we are able to make much higher quality lead magnets and do it in a fraction of the time! I’m using the Educational Email Course (EEC) GPT to create personalized and automated learning journeys and they will also be used as lead magnets.

Thursday Theme: Custom AI Solution

What’s the problem?

Most Creators don’t own their audience data. Growing an email list is the best way to ensure you stay connected, regardless of what social media platform you are building on.

The sound of newsletters and lead magnets may seem daunting and time consuming, but with AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Beehiiv, we can create better lead magnets that grow our email list on auto pilot and serve our community with high value content for free.

Benefits of a Lead Magnet for Email Writers

• Lead magnets are more effective than newsletters because they provide something of value in exchange for contact information, making people more likely to opt in and remember the offer when ready to make a purchase.

• They allow for more targeted content, attracting people who are genuinely interested, which increases the likelihood of them reading the emails.

• Lead magnets also help in engaging the audience, capturing essential data, and increasing trust by offering something of value to the readers.

• Lead magnets help in establishing the Creator’s expertise, increasing trust, and efficiently growing the email list or other channels.

Some examples of lead magnets for newsletters include:

1. Ebooks: Comprehensive guides or resources on a specific topic.

2.Checklists and Cheatsheets: Quick and easy-to-use resources that provide value.

3. Templates: Such as for resumes, social media posts, or business plans.

4. Whitepapers: In-depth reports or guides that address a specific issue.

5. Webinars or Courses: Providing valuable information or training.

6. Free Trials or Samples: Allowing users to experience a product or service.

7. Exclusive Reports or Research: Offering unique insights or data.

8. Discounts or Coupons: Providing immediate value for future purchases.

9. Quizzes or Assessments: Engaging tools that provide personalized results.

10. Toolkits or Resource Lists: Curated collections of valuable resources.

These lead magnets are designed to provide significant value to the audience, encouraging them to subscribe to the newsletter in exchange for the valuable content.
