• Subscription Newsletter

It is the basic strategy of collecting emails and building lists. If you visit any website, you will see a box somewhere on the page asking you if you would like to subscribe to the newsletter and get updates on the news.

So if you are interested in that website’s content, you will subscribe by email to get their updates.

• Cheat sheets

Cheat sheets are typically text, image, or PDF documents that include bullet points, guidelines, and instructions on how to complete tasks, lists of resources related to the subject, and other valuable yet condensed information pertaining to their theme.

• Templets

These templates generally provide something of value to the prospect in exchange for their contact information. Examples include whitepapers, checklists, email courses, reports, and tutorials – all available for free after signing up for a newsletter list. Template lead magnets are extremely effective in generating leads and engaging customers.

• Swipe file

It involves providing valuable information in a downloadable format, such as an ebook or white paper, in exchange for a lead’s contact information. The contents of the swipe file should be tailored to specific industries or audiences and should provide useful tips or advice on topics related to the organization’s mission and goals. For instance, a swipe file lead magnet with social media resources is something that makes Digital marketers stand out.

• Case study

It can be one such lead magnet. Case studies offer prospects concrete examples of how a product/service has been successfully implemented in the past which can provide them with helpful information and an additional sense of security when making a decision about using your business.

It is a subscription-based option that allows a user to try out a product before purchasing it, trial, or demo the business’s product in exchange for personal information. The goal is to capture potential customers’ attention and build a relationship, before asking them to commit to making a purchase.

A free trial is a great lead magnet for SaaS companies. For example, I offer a trial of WeCare Mobile App – an Online Doctor Solution with all the premium features. After this period is over, a user can purchase a source code and setup for their work.

• Catalog

Another excellent example of a lead magnet for business e-commerce is a catalog—a selection of items sold by a business.

Why would prospects be interested in product catalogs?
Catalogs allow the leads to review product listings both online and offline. And, stores like IKEA wouldn’t keep issuing catalogs for so many years if they weren’t working, would they?

• Infographic

It t is a visual representation of data or information that can be used as an incentive to draw people to your website. It’s often used to generate leads, capture emails, build social media followers, and generally increase engagement with the material provided in the infographic.
If you want to attract leads with visual content that presents value, an infographic can work perfectly. It organizes data on a particular topic and makes it easier to perceive with tips & steps or checklists.

it’s always a great idea to get more leads with a presentation. such as an infographic, a presentation visualizes information and makes data easier to understand. Thus, it’s an excellent idea for a lead magnet.

You can upload and share your presentations on SlideShare, where leads can check them out. And, if they like your presentations, they can download them, but not without sharing their contact details.

SEMrush often uses SlideShare to generate leads with their presentations.
