How to get leads for your first sales funnel

Building a sales funnel for the first time? Not sure how to make the most out of your content and website for generating leads? This guide will walk you through creating irresistible lead magnets, optimizing your website for conversion, and strategically positioning your call-to-actions (CTAs).

Let’s get started.

Why Your Website and Link in Bio Matters in Your Sales Funnel

Whether you have a link in bio website or a full blown website, your website is your primary tool for driving leads into your first sales funnel.

This is where your audience will eventually land, gather information, and hopefully, become interested enough to explore your services or products. It’s where you set first impressions and start building a relationship.

By strategically placing calls-to-action (CTAs) and creating irresistible lead magnets, you’re paving a smooth path for your visitors to enter your sales funnel.

Step 1: Crafting A Strong Lead Magnet

A lead magnet is a value-packed offer that persuades your audience and website to provide their contact information in exchange for the freebie to download.

This could be a free ebook, a webinar, free trials, or anything that your prospects may find valuable. Make sure it resonates with your audience and fulfills a particular need or solves a problem.

You can create a lead magnet on Canva for free. The good news is you can skip the headache because I’ve put together a done-for-you lead magnet template with 65 lead magnet ideas so you can get started right away.

Step 2: Strategically Placing Call-To-Actions (CTA)

Use well-crafted CTAs to promote your lead magnet. Position your CTAs strategically to guide your visitors towards your lead magnet.

Top of Your Website :

The top of your website is the best place to start. It’s the first thing your visitors see. By placing a lead magnet offer right up there, you’re essentially rolling out the red carpet for your new visitors. It’s like saying, “Hey, look at this amazing thing I’ve got for you!” And just like that, you’ve piqued their interest from the get-go.

In Your Website Menu:

Your website navigation menu is omnipresent, appearing on every page. Sneaking your lead magnet into the menu is a genius move. It’s always there, gently reminding visitors of the value you’re offering, nudging them towards that conversion. Especially handy for those who land on your blog from elsewhere or are returning visitors diving straight into different sections.

Middle of the Page or Blog Content:

Now, the middle section of your page or blog where your visitors are already engaged and reading content. Dropping a lead magnet here is an amazing choice. It leverages timing and relevance; as they’re scrolling through, they stumble upon your offer that’s just too good to ignore. Making sure the lead magnet is related to the content on the blog or page will get you the best results.

Bottom of the Page:

The bottom of the page is your last chance saloon. It’s where you catch visitors who’ve strolled through your content and are pondering their next move. A lead magnet here is like the dessert at the end of a meal – the final temptation to engage further. It’s your chance to leave a lasting impression.

The link in bio page you use on social media matters too

Don’t forget about your link in bio! You can apply these same ideas listed above to the link in your bio that you use on social media.

Step 3: Create Lead Magnet Landing Pages That Convert Like Crazy

A good landing page is where the conversion happens. It is constructed around your lead magnet and persuades your visitors to opt-in. To build a high-converting landing page:

• Clarity is Essential: Make sure your landing page clearly shows and tells what you’re offering, why it’s valuable, and how it solves a problem or fulfills a need for your visitor.
  • Mockup images work well at the top of a lead magnet landing page
• Simplicity Overload: Don’t overwhelm your visitors with too much information. A clean, straightforward layout with a clear call to action makes the decision to engage much easier.
• Build Trust: Include testimonials or social proof to build trust. It’s like having your best customers cheering you on from the sidelines.

You just built the bridge to your first sales funnel!

Once your website, blog content, social media link, and landing page has done the crucial job of capturing leads, it’s time to move to the subsequent steps of the sales funnel.

This might include a series of follow-up emails, personalized offers, or soft-sell through nurturing content. Remember, the key to a successful sales funnel is a smooth transition between stages.
