Step 4: Deliver It (Automatically)

Published 9 days ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

​

So your lead magnet is done. That's awesome. Nice work!

​
Now let’s make sure it actually gets to people when they sign up for it.

​

This is where automation saves you time and keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes.

​

Here’s what to do next:

​

1. Set up a delivery email​
In your email platform (Kit, Flodesk, Mailchimp, MailerLite, etc.), create a simple email that delivers your lead magnet.

​

Keep it short and friendly. Something like:

​

Hey [First Name],
Here’s the [resource/checklist/guide] I promised you.
​
Let me know if you have any questions or want help with [related topic].
Enjoy!

​

Then link to the lead magnet — either attach the file or link to a Google Drive/Dropbox folder or a hidden page on your website.

2. Connect it to a form​
Set up your opt-in form or landing page and tell your email platform to send the delivery email automatically when someone subscribes.

​

Most email marketing tools make this part pretty easy. If your platform lets you, I suggest tagging the subscriber so you know what they downloaded. This helps with future follow-up.

3. Test it​
This step gets skipped way too often.

​
Sign up for your own lead magnet and make sure everything works:

  • You get the right email
  • The link works
  • The file is accessible
  • The branding feels like you

4. Add a Welcome Sequence

Add a short welcome sequence (series of automated emails) that follows the delivery email. This helps build connection, trust, and momentum right away, especially if you don’t email your list regularly via a newsletter.

​

We'll get more into this part, what to send after someone opts-in, next week.

​

You're almost there!

​

​

I hope this helps.

Hey Reader, I know I usually email you on Thursdays, but I wanted to shoot you a special bonus email this week, to share some takeaways from an event I spoke at last weekend.

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...
