What lead magnets have you tried to get users? 🧲

by•
For MakerBox (products for Indie Entrepreneurs), we tried a lot of freebies: 1. Check-lists 2. SEO articles with value 3. Demo-versions of products - 30 tools from MakerBox Tools (full list is 600+) - 3 Frameworks from MakerBox Frameworks (full product is 50 frameworks) So far, 3 Frameworks from MakerBox Frameworks had the best performance. We got 100 users in 2 days. The reason is that it was a complex end-product itself. Today we're launching a free marketing week challenge! Excited about the results. Did you try challenges as a lead magnet?

Very cool! Did you build the course and web-app stuff natively, or did you leverage a service for this?
thanks, Dan! No services, only solopreneurship (actually couplepreneurship with 😅)
Just signed up for the marketing week challenge and really interested to see how this goes. Already got more involved into the Product Hunt ecosystem just from the day one challenge!
Happy to have you on our challenge, Adam!
Crowd sourced content always works wonders. Be it ebooks, podcasts, blogs - they are the real deal. Identify influencers in the space you work in and get them talking - adds real value to lead magnets and builds credibility. Hope this helps!
distribution through influencers sounds interesting! Thanks for the idea 😊
I want to do Ebooks to expand some topics from our blog
Ebooks are super popular today
I have unfortunately had poor results from ebooks
Oh I really like your marketing week challenge! I've done a week long challenge on the topic of career development, but didn't get a lot of traction. I suspect it was because there was no real problem I was trying to solve with the challenge. Let me know how you go with yours.
your audience must be in LinkedIn Did you try to distribute there?
great job
Thank you, Molly!
Glad to hear your event is going well. We help pros build personal brand page, and some of our lead magnet experience in the past 1. Brand yourself challenge - Use our tool to design and join the contest 2. 30 minutes personal brand coaching session - Ongoing offer for new users. Good luck!
I often offer the good old Use Cases and Whitepapers, in pdf format. This works fairly well.
We have created a fun product walkthrough to show how the product works using our own product... 😵‍💫🌝 It's a skills testing platform, so we created a walkthrough in the form of a test. – It gives people a glimpse into how the product looks like behind the signup – It allows us to showcase key functionality in less than 2 mins – It's all self-service and doesn't require a signup So far, the feedback has been very positive!
