Best for

Expert founders

Expert founders who need to build a list from cold traffic and want one asset that earns the email address on every visit — without running ads to a thin PDF.

A lead magnet is a single, self-contained asset a visitor downloads in exchange for their email address. The mistake most founders make is offering something thin — a one-page checklist with no insight, a recycled framework, a PDF that reads like a brochure. We build the opposite: a resource so genuinely useful that a reader would have paid for it, delivered free in exchange for the relationship. The asset earns the address; the quality of the thinking inside it earns the trust that makes the next conversation possible. We write the content, design the layout, and hand you a finished PDF plus the landing-page copy that sells the download.

What's included

  • A finished, designed PDF (8–20 pages) or interactive tool
  • Landing-page copy that sells the download
  • Thank-you page copy and a first-touch email
  • A social-share kit (3 posts + the hook line)

Example deliverables

What actually lands in your inbox.

01

The definitive guide

A 12–20 page PDF that takes one problem your reader actually has and solves it completely — the resource they bookmark, forward, and cite back to you in a sales call.

02

The self-audit checklist

An interactive checklist that lets a reader score themselves against a framework you own. They finish it knowing exactly where they stand — and knowing you're the one who showed them.

03

The template library

A set of fill-in-the-blank templates — email sequences, briefing docs, positioning statements — that a reader can use today and still need your help to execute well tomorrow.

04

The landing-page copy

The page that earns the download — headline, promise, what's inside, and the objection handling underneath. Written to convert cold traffic, not just warm fans.

Questions

List-building,
answered.

What the work involves, how long it takes, and what we need from you. If a question isn't here, write to us — we answer every note ourselves.

What makes this different from a blog post or a free PDF I already have?

+

Most free PDFs are thin — a one-page checklist or a recycled framework that earns the download but loses the trust. We build the opposite: a resource so genuinely useful a reader would have paid for it. The content is written from scratch from your expertise, designed to be bookmarked and forwarded, and paired with landing-page copy that converts cold traffic — not just your existing fans.

How is this different from the Educational Email Course?

+

An email course is a 5–7 part sequence that arrives in the inbox over days and teaches progressively to build a relationship. A lead magnet is a single, self-contained download that earns the address in one exchange. Many founders use both — the lead magnet captures the address, the email course deepens the relationship.

Do you design the PDF or just write the content?

+

Both. You receive a finished, on-brand PDF — not a Google Doc or a text file. The layout, typography, and cover are designed to match your brand, so the asset looks as credible as the thinking inside it.

What if I don't have traffic yet?

+

The lead magnet is the asset that earns traffic. Paired with the landing-page copy and the social-share kit, it's built to convert whatever traffic you can point at it — a single LinkedIn post, a guest appearance, or a small ad spend. It works hardest when you don't have an audience yet, because every address it earns is one you didn't have.

Can I add this to a retainer?

+

Yes. Retainer clients can commission a lead magnet at the same $750 (standard guide) or $1,400 (comprehensive framework) project rate inside an existing term whenever a list-building asset is needed.
