Or rather, you will need to at least have some type of "lead magnet" to give to your subscribers or website visitors in exchange for their information.
This method is used frequently in online businesses, from beginners to experts like:
- Tony Robbins
- Brian Tracy
- Les Brown
- Tim Ferriss
- Russell Brunson
- and more.
However, this highly effective marketing tactic can be used in any business model.
For instance, I've seen highly successful dental practices (my former industry) who have used a lead magnet to get people that visit their website to paying customers.
And for dentists, that can mean a lot of profits over the life of the customer.
So what is a lead magnet anyway?
A lead magnet, is simply a gift of some sort in exchange for the visitors contact information, typically their name and email.
The lead magnet itself can be anything from a training course, or as simple as a report, guide, white paper, blueprint, or ebook.
The most prevalent is either a guide/report or simply an ebook.

The final step is to set up an opt-in page where your website visitors can give you their contact information in exchange for the ebook or lead magnet.
