Content marketing is one of the very best ways to build a buying list and an audience of gold.

And building a buying audience of gold is why you’re reading this column, right?

So here are 3 secrets you need to know:

List Building Secret 1: Lead Magnets

Lead magnets, give-aways, freebies, etc., whatever you call them, you need them to build your list. You want to give away something of attractive value in exchange for their email.

The great news is this:

Any creatively delivered piece of content is a potential lead magnet.

Action Step: Use your “chunk templates” to create your first (or next) (or lots of) Compelling Lead Magnets:

WordClouds with Permission

List Building Secret 2: Opt-In Pages

The biggest mistake I see beginners make is having more than one choice on an opt-in page.

More than one choice confuses people, and the confused mind does not take action.

You can get a great example of a one choice opt-in page at the end of this column.

Action Step: Grab a free version of MailerLite and play with (practice) creating a few magnetic opt-in pages.
