Tutorials: How to setup a lead magnet download funnel in 7 steps

A Lead Magnet is a great way to turn cold traffic into warm traffic (traffic that spends money). By providing value ahead of asking for a deep commitment, you take the first step in the customer relationship.

This funnel will allow you to:

• Set up an opt-in form.
• Double opt-in a contact's email address.
• Deliver the lead magnet via email.
• Followup once the contact downloads the lead magnet.

1. Create your funnel.

You are going to need to create a funnel. We make this process easy by having a template ready for you to install.

• Go to Groundhogg > Funnels > Add New
• Select the Lead Magnet Download Funnel.

2. Rename your funnel.

Give your funnel a new name related to the lead magnet you are giving away.

3. Add your lead magnet.

Upload your download to the WordPress media folder.

Copy the link to the file.

Paste the link in the link click benchmark near the bottom of the funnel.

Make sure all your emails are set to ready once you have edited them all.
