Do I need a lead magnet as a therapist?
If you're a therapist hoping to convert website traffic into new leads, one of the best ways to do that is to create a lead magnet.
A lead magnet (also known as an opt-in or downloadable freebie) is something that you offer website visitors in exchange for their email. It can be as simple as a PDF or as complex as a webinar or online course.
By offering value for free, you're demonstrating your expertise and building trust with potential clients. But more importantly, you’re creating a way to stay in touch with them and continue to nurture the relationship - which could lead to more bookings.
What makes a good opt-in freebie as a therapist?
Something that your target audience will find valuable.
It should be relevant to their needs, something they can use immediately, and targeted towards the beginning of their client journey. This means helping them:
Understand why they need your services
Complete or solve a problem to help them book your services
Trust that you’re knowledgable
See the value of mental health - because potential clients might not “get it.”
