How to create the Perfect Lead Magnet

"Creating high-converting lead magnets isn't about design skills or technical complexity. It's about deeply understanding your audience's problems.

I've tested this repeatedly with clients, a highly-specific 2-page resource that addresses one urgent problem will almost always outperform a comprehensive 50-page guide.

What is a launch & is it right for your business?
