INSIGHT

Lead Magnets Are The New Trojan Horse

  • Lead magnets remain highly effective as a Trojan horse to get people into your newsletter when a plain "subscribe" CTA has less pull.
  • Dylan and Chenell note lead magnets solve a quick problem and create an inbox relationship that content alone often can't.
ADVICE

Give Away What You Could Charge For

  • Build something so good you'd charge for it and give it away free to maximize sharing and credibility.
  • Dylan's bar: if you'd pay for it, people will share it and it becomes a reputation booster beyond the dollar value.
ADVICE

Design For A Fast Time To Win

  • Prioritize a quick win the user can implement immediately to prove value and drive retention.
  • Chenell cites 30 Days of Growth examples like a four-hour welcome email tweak or a simple LinkedIn bio change as fast-implement wins.
