Lead magnet

Something useful given away in exchange for an email address.

A template, a checklist, a calculator, a short course. The purpose is not the gift; it is starting a relationship with someone who has a problem you can eventually solve.

The best lead magnets solve a small, sharply-defined piece of the larger problem you charge for - enough to prove competence, not enough to remove the need.
