Struggling with Lead Magnets for Travel and Interior Design Lists

5 replies
I am really struggling coming up with lead magnet ideas for two of my new lists:

Travel
Interior Decorating

Any ideas for those two niches? I'm having troubling thinking of something that would broadly appeal to the niche. For travel, I can't giveaway a travel guide to Italy for example. Not everyone is interested in Italy.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Just use a little creativity and think of questions you would like to have answered if you were a consumer in the niche. Then do a little digging and searching online to find your answers. Write what you find and Give it a "curiosity" type title. For example:

    How to Tip Service Providers Without Spending Too Much or Too Little

    What to Do Next if You Lose Your Wallet or Passport

    Interior Decorating -
    How to Add Color to Brighten Any Room
    How to Arrange Seating for the Best Conversations
    How to Choose the Best Carpet Type for Every Room
    When to Hire a Professional and When to Decorate Yourself

    That took all of two minutes.

    For travel, I would try something like "the top 10 vacation destinations you've never heard of" with more low key, off the grid vacation spots.

    For interior decorations, I like something like "what your home decor says about you".

    When you don't have any idea what to use as a lead magnet just go to buzzsumo.com and search to find the most popular (most shared) content on social networks.

    You'll suddenly have many ideas.

    Who is your target audience?

    For travel, are you aiming for vacationers, business travellers, snowbirds? Young families, retired couples? What is your objective after they opt in?

    For interior design, are you targeting individual designers, homeowners doing their own design, real estate agents interested in staging homes for sale? Again, what is your objective after they opt in?

    Nail those down, and resources like buzzsumo will be a lot more useful.

    John is correct (as usual).

    You're trying to please a broad market but that's nearly impossible. Narrow down your audience and you'll have an easier time deciding what they need to know.
