Learn how online copywriters use lead magnets and direct-response tactics to optimize landing pages that generate leads.
A whopping ninety-six percent of people who visit your website are not ready to buy anything during their first visit. If you want them to come back a second time, you need to capture their names and email addresses.
But there's your challenge. Most website visitors don't want to give you their name and email address. Website visitors are the online equivalent of retail shoppers who are approached by a salesperson. Offline, the salesperson asks, "May I help you?" And how do you reply? "No thanks, I'm just looking." Online, those infuriating pop-up ads ask you for your name and email address, and what do you do? You say, "I don't think so." And you click away.
This is where lead magnets come in.
A lead magnet is something of value that you offer your website visitors in exchange for their contact details. They get the lead magnet. You get the lead. But ONLY if your landing page is effective.
