If you’re a blogger trying to build your email list or generate leads, then you’re in the right place. You realize by now the critical nature of email list building. The more subscribers you have, the more natural it is to promote your new blog posts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, email list building and lead generation\nare tougher than the gurus and experts tell you. If you can relate, then don’t\nworry, I’ve got your back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re about to brainstorm 5 of the smartest lead\ngeneration methods that rock for bloggers using ClickFunnels. I’ve been\nblogging for years! These are the best lead generation strategies that I share\nwith my readers, colleagues, students, and friends alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if your blog is relatively new, and even if\nyou don’t have a considerable marketing budget, there are still a few steps you\ncan take to help kickstart your email list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All 5 of these methods can help kickstart your\nlead generation campaigns for your blog. These are some of the exact strategies\nI’ve used to generate countless leads over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s spend a few minutes brainstorming in much\nmore detail so you can start generating leads without fuss or hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the easiest things for bloggers to do to\naugment and amplify their reach is to repurpose their blog content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repurposing blog content is something that I’ve\nbeen doing for a while since I’m a tiny one-person team. Since my marketing\nbudget is tiny, I need to get the most bang for my content marketing buck.\nOtherwise, nobody would ever read, or listen to my stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The easiest way for me to get more bang for my\nbuck from my blog is to turn my blog posts into Podcasts or audio content. This\nallows me to potentially expose my content to an entirely new audience who\nwouldn’t read my content otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Podcasting has a few big advantages that aren’t\nso obvious. First of all, not everyone likes to read blog posts. I bet there\nare tons of people in your niche who listen to Podcasts, but they don’t like to\nread blogs. By turning your blog posts into Podcasts, you grant yourself more potential\nexposure to a new audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best part about creating fresh Podcast\ncontent is that you can promote your marketing funnel, lead magnet, squeeze\npage, or special offer during each episode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the beginning and end of every new episode,\nyou can easily promote your favorite ClickFunnels funnel. That way, every time\nyou launch a new Podcast you give yourself a great opportunity to generate\nleads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now your Podcast is armed to help generate\nleads, and you’re putting your content marketing efforts in full gear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also plug your marketing funnels, lead\nmagnets, or lead generation funnels in the description of your Podcast, so you\nhave plenty of nifty options for getting the word out about your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ton of friends and colleagues ask me if\nYouTube or Podcasts are a better content marketing method when it comes to lead\ngeneration. My answer is always the same; why not consider both?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that the more content you publish on\nsocial media, on YouTube, via your blog, and via Podcasts the better! Publish\nas much as possible. That way, you put more hooks in the water and allow your\ncontent to reach more people. You can then plug your lead magnets, your\nClickFunnels funnels, your lead generation funnels, or any marketing funnel\nright within your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repurposing your content is genius! Because if\nyou already go through the trouble of recording a Podcast, then the only thing\nyou need is a nifty PowerPoint presentation for your video component. You can\nalso use the\nHeadliner App<\/strong><\/a> to easily\ntransform your Podcast content into a beautiful video fit for YouTube\npublishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you noticed that every guru has a YouTube\nchannel these days? A few years ago, it seemed like only a small handful of\nbrands and authorities used YouTube. Now, it seems like YouTube is mandatory\nfor content marketing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The good news is that if you already publish\nblog content, then transforming your blog posts into Podcast content and\nYouTube videos are elementary and straightforward. I’ve always proposed that\nwriting the original blog post content is the most challenging part. Once your\nblog content is written, you can then use an app like Audacity to record your\ncontent. You can then upload your content to your favorite Podcast host!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You could also repurpose that audio content into\na video using apps like the Headliner App or Camtasia. Once your video is\nfinished, commence uploading your fresh video onto YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia,\nAmazon S3, or the video host of your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re going to write fresh blog posts\nregularly, then one of the most natural ways to promote your lead magnet is to\nsprinkle lead magnet and marketing funnel promotions throughout your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few ways you can plug your marketing\nfunnel within the blog content itself. One thing that I love is to ensure that\nI promote my lead magnets on every page on my blog. You can promote your lead\nmagnet in your navigational menu, after your blog post content, or even within\nthe content itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Promoting your email newsletter or marketing\nfunnel within your blog post content is much easier than you think. For\nexample, you can click here to register for my email\nnewsletter.<\/strong><\/a> The first edition\nemail newsletter contains a ton of bonus marketing goodies that you’ll love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use websites like Canva to help\ndesign beautiful banners, calls to action, promotional graphics, and other\nnifty blog artwork to help advertise your lead magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you look at the top of my blog, you’ll notice\nthat I have a massive banner front and center located at the top of my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you’re on a mobile device, you’ll notice\nthe massive welcome bar promoting whatever I wish. The banner always starts at\nthe front and center, which I love. This is probably my top generator of clicks\non my blog. The reason that welcome bars rock is that you can advertise\nanything that you like in one of your blog’s premium locations; front and\ncenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re hosting a webinar, launching a book,\npromoting an affiliate link, or driving traffic to your squeeze page, welcome\nbars are a blogger’s best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I use a StudioPress theme that inserts welcome\nbars on my blog automatically. If your WordPress theme doesn’t support in a\nwelcome bar, you can use welcome bar services like AddThis<\/strong><\/a> to\ndeploy a welcome bar without additional coding required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay fine. I’ll admit that nobody likes popup\nads! That said, if you want to promote your lead magnets, webinar registration\npages, or email list building funnels on your blog, then a well-planned popup\nadvertisement is tough to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use services like AddThis to build a\npopup advertisement if you want. You can also find a variety of WordPress\nplugins like OptinMonster<\/strong><\/a> or Thrive\nLeads<\/strong><\/a> to help generate\nbeautiful looking popup advertisements that won’t offend, annoy, or obstruct\nyour blog reader’s privacy or end-user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve put forth a ton of brainstorming regarding\nemail list building strategies for bloggers using ClickFunnels. I’d like to\naddress some of the most popular and pressing questions that you’re likely to\nencounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve been blogging for a while now and in full\ntransparency, I’ve split-tested dozens of different lead magnet ideas! I don’t\nthink there’s a “one-size fits all” lead magnet idea perfect for all\nbloggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead? I advise you to study your ideal\nreaders to the point where you can easily enchant your readers with a fascinating\nlead magnet that rocks. In other words, study your end-users enough so you know\nwhat they want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For bonus points, create a wide array of lead\nmagnets and split test them! Experiment so you can then know for sure which\nlead magnet ideas your readers love, and which they don’t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best thing about ClickFunnels is that it’s\nunfathomably straightforward to build a beautiful lead generation website. The\nfirst step is to choose which type of lead generation funnel you’d like, which\nthere are many to choose among.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you can choose from various templates that\ncan help make your lead magnet and lead generation funnel look like a million\nbucks. After you choose a template, you can then customize the pages of the\nfunnel to match your brand, style, business, and message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think that bloggers have a huge advantage that\nother marketers don’t. You love to write! For that reason, you have a huge\nvariety of options at your disposal when it comes to crafting an ingenious and\ndivine lead magnet that attracts your ideal subscribers and readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n# 3 – Include A\nMassive Call To Action Inside Every Blog Post!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
