Step 3: Create It (Faster Than You Think)

Published 6 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

​

You’ve got your topic. You’ve picked your format. Now it’s time to make the thing.

​

(If you're not sure what I'm talking about, check last week's email and come back)

​

This is the part where a lot of people get stuck.

​

They think it has to be perfect. Fancy. Professionally designed. Like it belongs in a museum.

​

It doesn’t.

​

Your lead magnet just needs to solve a real problem in a clear, helpful way. That’s it.

​

Here’s how to create yours without spiraling...

​

Step 1: Write a rough draft.

  • Don’t start with Canva.
  • Don’t start with formatting.
  • Start with a Google Doc or a notebook.
  • Brain-dump what your audience needs to know or do.

​

Step 2: Organize it clearly

  • Use bullet points. Steps. Headings.
  • Imagine they’re brand new to this. Walk them through it.

​

Step 3: Add a simple intro + a call to action

  • Tell them who you are, what they’re getting, and what they should do next.
  • That “next” could be to check out your offer, book a call, or just reply to you.

​

Step 4: Put it into a clean format

  • You can use Canva, Notion, a Google Doc, or whatever you prefer.
  • Keep it simple and skimmable.
  • No need for 12 colors and a logo on every page.

​

This is important: Your first version is allowed to be scrappy. Just get it out there. You can always improve it later.

​

You’re closer than you think.

​

Next week, we'll dive into how to deliver it automatically to new subscribers.

​

Let’s get this thing working for you!

​

Hey Reader, Marketing is getting quieter. We're already in the shift, but it's going to continue shifting away from "hype" and pressure-selling and persuading people to buy. Whether sales gurus like it or not, it's happening. People are tired. We're ALL tired. Your potential customers, specifically, are tired of countdown timers, "last chance" emails that come every week, and feeling forced into purchasing decisions before they're fully ready to buy. People don't want to be tricked, duper,...

Hey Reader, Here’s something interesting I came across recently:People value things more the moment they feel like they own them. This isn’t just marketing fluff. It’s a psychology principle (it’s called the “Endowment Effect”) that can actually help you make your offers and lead magnets feel more valuable, even before someone pays for them. Here’s what it means for your business: If your audience feels your free resource is already theirs, they’ll treat it differently. If your paid offer...
