A lead magnet is a free offering that gives people instant value in exchange for joining your hub. It removes friction, builds trust, and helps you nurture members before selling anything.
Lead magnets allow you to:
Drive traffic to your hub
Grow your email list
Build a relationship before asking for payment
Gradually upsell memberships, courses, communities or products
Why Lead Magnets Work (Especially on WithMe)
Whether you're new or established, lead magnets help you:
Offer a glimpse of your value
Let members experience your content style
Make people feel like part of your ecosystem
Your lead magnet can be:
A free planner or PDF
A short free course
A live session or replay
A free community
Or a free Membership tier
All with 0 friction for the user.
How Members Join Your Lead Magnet (Join Flow)
When you create a lead magnet on WithMe.
You can then share this product link anywhere — social media, email, WhatsApp, or your bio.
⚠️ Collect Email Leads & Applications: You can now insert a Lead Capture link directly into your emails from the product picker, alongside products and memberships, so you can share this product type in emails too. If you want a standalone link to share on social media or in ads, you can turn on the Lead Capture product's own landing page option for a shareable link with your description and media, or use a Coaching Call or Custom Product, which also include dedicated landing pages you can copy and share.
🎥 Want opt-in visitors to see a video right after they sign up (e.g. a video sales letter)? Don't use a Collect Emails/Applications product with "Redirect to URL" — that sends visitors away to an external page. Instead, create a free Digital Product, add your opt-in fields to it, and upload your video directly to that product's landing page. Once someone opts in, the video plays natively in place on the page — no redirect needed.
Optional: Make it Invite-OnlyIf you want the lead magnet to be link-only, use Move to Landing Pages to take it off your hub while keeping its link live.Unpublishing it instead makes the link private, so only use that if you want to block access completely.
What members experience:
They click the product link
They land on the lead magnet's landing page and view the details
They enter their email to opt in (a WithMe account is created for them automatically, and they may be prompted to verify it, but verifying is optional)
They are taken directly to the free product on the next page
At this point:
Their email is captured in your customer list
They become part of your hub
They can return anytime by logging into their account
Important Note About Free Digital Products
Once a lead opts in, they get instant access to the full free digital product.
After opting in, leads are taken directly to the product on the next page. A WithMe account is created for them automatically, and they may be prompted to verify it, but verifying is optional and not required to access the free digital product. This encourages members to return to your hub, stay engaged, and increases the chances of future conversion.
What Happens After Someone Joins?
Once a member joins your hub:
Their email is captured
They're now part of your ecosystem
You can gradually introduce paid offerings
You build trust before monetising
This creates long-term, sustainable growth, not one-time sales.
