A checklist is a simple but powerful lead magnet. It saves potential clients time by giving them a prewritten list.
For example, a real estate agent can create a checklist to help homeowners prepare for selling their homes. The checklist could include everything from contacting real estate agents and budgeting for staging costs to preparing for open homes and organising removalists.The checklist can either be presented on a letterhead that includes the real estate agent’s contact details, or the real estate could prefill their contact details on the checklist next to the line item: ‘Contact a real estate agent’.
Tutorials should share broad knowledge or teach a specific skill. They can be in the form of PDF files, video tutorials or audio recordings. They should also be short because long tutorials can be overwhelming.
You could also publish interactive tutorials on your website or as an app.
For example, a buyer’s agent could write a tutorial on how investors can work out whether buying a particular property is a sound investment, and freely publish it on their website. They can then post a link to an online calculator that provides the return on investment under multiple scenarios, like different interest or vacancy rates, but requires investors to log in to access the calculator.
Ebooks can provide longer or in-depth answers to frequently asked questions.
For example, an accountant could write a guide for small business owners on key financial performance indicators, and include information on how to calculate them and use the information.
Ebooks could include diagrams, images or other visual elements to make them more interesting and engaging.
Ebooks should be written in simple language so all readers can understand the content. To help you achieve this, you could outsource writing the ebook to Hunter & Scribe. We specialise in writing about property and finance. So we can source much of the information ourselves and explain it in plain English.
Finally, when promoting your ebook, you should clearly communicate the benefits a reader can expect so they’ll want to download it.
