How to choose
A “start here” guide turns new listeners into regulars and subscribers.
Whichever idea you pick, keep it to one problem, make it short enough to finish in one sitting, and end with a clear next step toward your paid offer. See also how long a lead magnet should be and what an opt-in page needs.
Common follow-up questions
How do listeners find the freebie?
Mention a short URL in episodes and show notes.
One per episode?
Usually too much; one strong freebie is better.
How long should a lead magnet for podcasters be?
Short enough to use in one sitting: a one-page checklist or worksheet, or a short guide of roughly 5–15 pages.
