Any blogger that has a goal to earn money from their blog understands the importance of blog lead magnets for building an email list.
This is done by making offers in exchange for contact info. Blog visitors today are a lot more careful about what they sign up to avoid too much spam in their email box.
Determining the right lead magnet, the way to make the offer, and the funnel that comes after creates the magic formula.

For your lead magnets, I highly suggest Canva Pro for their templates. You can also find pre-made templates that work in Canva and Photoshop at Creative Market and Ladyboss Studio.
