Why is nobody downloading my lead magnet?

Usually one of four things: not enough people see it, the promise is vague, the opt-in page is confusing, or the freebie is not relevant to the people who visit. Check them in that order.

Diagnose in order

  • 1VisibilityIs it linked where people are?
  • 2PromiseOne person, one result?
  • 3PageClear headline, short form?
  • 4FitDoes it match the content that sends traffic?

Count visitors to the opt-in page first. If few people see it, the fix is promotion, not a new freebie.

If visitors arrive but do not sign up, rewrite the headline and bullets before changing the freebie. See fixing low opt-in page conversion.

Common follow-up questions

How long before I judge it?

Wait until a meaningful number of people have seen the page.

Should I make a new one?

Only after checking visibility and the page.
