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!
