Do Lead Magnets Still Work for Coaches in 2025? (What You Need to Know) | Ep.58

Leonie Novorol Season 1 Episode 58

In this episode, I’m busting the myth that lead magnets don’t work anymore — and showing you how to make them work smarter in 2025.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • “Do I even need a lead magnet to grow my email list?”
  • “What kind of freebie actually works these days?”
  • “Should I use a quiz, a checklist, a guide — or skip it altogether?”
     …this one’s for you. 🙌🏼

I’ll share what’s working right now in my business and the one thing your freebie MUST do if you want it to lead to paying clients.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why lead magnets are not dead (but what you need to know to make one work in 2025)
  • The most crucial thing your lead magnet should do 
  • Why a good lead magnet doesn’t just give value
  • What opt-in rates you should aim for (with real numbers from my funnel!)
  • How to make your lead magnet work harder for you 

Whether you’ve already got a freebie out in the world or you’re wondering where to start — this episode will help you make sure your lead magnet is doing the heavy lifting strategically.
