A lead magnet is a free digital gift you offer to your followers in exchange for their contact information. This can be a PDF, video, checklist, or training program that provides immediate value to your audience. Whether you’re a 1:1 coach, a group coach, or a personal trainer, an effective lead magnet can help you attract potential clients.

How do you create a high-converting lead magnet?
Make it easy to understand and implement ✅
To help you create a powerful lead magnet, use the SAGE framework. This ensures that it is clear, useful, and immediately actionable.
Your lead magnet should be:
S – Short
A – Actionable
G – Goal-oriented
E – Easy to implement
Bad examples:
❌ My free guide to training
❌ 25 steps for getting in shape
❌ Tips for better sleep
These examples fail the SAGE test –they are too vague, long, or not immediately actionable.
Better examples:
✅ 25-minute home workout to lose belly fat
✅ 5-point checklist for avoiding injuries as a new runner
✅ Full-body training program for beginners using free weights
✅ 2,000 kcal meal plan for losing weight while maintaining muscle
✅ Shopping list & recipe for my high-protein lasagna
These examples are specific, actionable, and easy to implement!
