Add a Lead Magnet

Last updated on Aug 16, 2024

Lead magnets are little incentives such as e-books, PDFs, checklists, and other giveaways that can lure page visitors to become potential buyers in exchange for their email address, or other contact information.

In this article, you'll learn how to add your lead magnet to your campaign.

1. Upload your Lead Magnet File to the internet.

  • You can use a 3rd party account to store your lead magnet file (e.g. e-book PDF file) on the internet such as Google Drive or Dropbox.

  • Copy the shareable link of the file. You will insert this later in your campaign.

  • Tip: If you're using Dropbox, you can change the last part of the link from "0" to "1" so that when the link is accessed, the file automatically downloads to the user's computer.

Sample:

(Original Dropbox link) When clicked, the file opens in your browser.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9h70an4nd9enjo/wf_e-report_v4-_1.pdf?dl=0

(Edited Dropbox link} When clicked, the file is saved to your computer.
