Quick definition

Lead magnet: a free item you give away (PDF checklist, cheat sheet, mini-course) in exchange for an email address or contact.
Why it matters: it turns casual social visitors into people you can message again — that’s where sales and trust grow.

Step-by-Step: Promote Your Lead Magnet on Social Media (Actionable)

Step 1 — Pick one strong lead magnet and a single audience

Choose 1 lead magnet for now (e.g., “10-step Instagram product launch checklist”).
Why: one focused offer converts better than many scattered ones. Example: a tailor sells pattern templates to hobby sewists — not to “everyone”.
Action: write a 1-line benefit statement: “Download this checklist to sell your first 20 products on Instagram in 30 days.”

Step 2 — Create a fast, mobile-friendly landing page

Keep it one page: headline, 3 bullets, an image, and an email form (or WhatsApp button for markets that prefer WhatsApp).
Why: mobile users bounce if forms are long. Real life: a market seller in Lagos will click a WhatsApp button faster than an email form.
Action: include a clear CTA button: “Get my checklist — send via email / WhatsApp.”

Step 3 — Prepare 5 social posts (one for each format)

Formats: short text post, image post (square), short video (15–30s), story/reel, and a pinned post.
Why: different people prefer different formats. Example: short video shows your face and instantly builds trust; text posts explain benefit.
Action: write captions that highlight the benefit + link to landing page or WhatsApp.

Step 4 — Run your first posting schedule (7 days)

Day 1: Launch post (short video + link).
Day 2: Testimonial or proof (image + short caption).
Day 3: FAQ post about the lead magnet.
Day 4: Story/reel showing a quick tip from the lead magnet.
Day 5: Direct CTA: “Last chance to download this week.”
Day 6: Repurpose best performing content.
Day 7: Pinned post + invite to Telegram/WhatsApp community.
Why: repetition + variety drives signups. Real life: consistent posting made a Lagos vendor double inquiries in two weeks.

Step 5 — Use WhatsApp & Telegram to collect and deliver

For Nigerian & African audiences, WhatsApp is high-value. Use a WhatsApp link button for instant delivery.
For community building, invite new leads to a Telegram channel or groups (example: t.me/hubent1). (Linktree)
Action: deliver the lead magnet immediately via the chosen channel; follow up with a friendly 24-hour message.

Step 6 — Amplify with free local networks (use 7hubent)

Post your free offer in Nigerian free ad networks and WhatsApp TV channels like 7hubent to reach buyers fast. 7hubent offers free business promotion and active WhatsApp groups; contact via WhatsApp +2349077131487. (Nairaland)
Why: local WhatsApp networks are where many Nigerians discover services and products. Example: sellers join a 7hubent group and get dozens of direct inquiries the same day.
Action: craft a short promo message for 7hubent: title, 1 benefit line, landing link or “DM on WhatsApp” CTA. Send to +2349077131487.

Step 7 — Track two metrics only (signups & delivery clicks)

Metric A: number of signups per day.
Metric B: percent who open/download (delivery clicks).
Why: too many metrics overwhelm — these two tell you if the funnel is working. If signups are low, change the headline or creative.

Step 8 — Follow up with a 3-message welcome sequence

Message 1 (immediate): deliver lead magnet + “Welcome” note.
Message 2 (48 hours): tip + short story + CTA to reply.
Message 3 (7 days): offer a small paid product or invite to group.
Why: a short drip keeps people engaged and builds trust.

Step 9 — Recycle winning content and scale

Repost top performers with new thumbnails or headlines.
Use 7hubent again for fresh reach; many users promote repeatedly to hit different active group times. (Nairaland)

SEO tips (quick)

Add alt text to images with the phrase.
Use structured data for articles (if on your site) and add CTA schema for contact.
Add internal links to related posts and one external credible link (e.g., 7hubent group listing) to boost relevance. (Nairaland)

5 FAQs (with short answers)

Q1 — What’s the fastest way to deliver a lead magnet to Nigerians who prefer WhatsApp?
A: Use a WhatsApp click-to-chat button on the landing page and deliver the file instantly via a short message or PDF in the chat. Local WhatsApp TV channels like 7hubent also help spread the offer. (Nairaland)

Q2 — Is posting in WhatsApp groups spammy? How do I avoid it?
A: Avoid spam by giving value: introduce yourself, say what you offer, and post the lead magnet as a help resource — not a hard sell. Follow group rules and post at appropriate times.

Q3 — Does 7hubent really offer free business promotion?
A: Multiple community pages and 7hubent channels list free advertising and WhatsApp group placements; users commonly contact them via WhatsApp (+2349077131487) and join Telegram for community support. Use their official pages to confirm current offerings. (Nairaland)

Q4 — Should I ask for email or WhatsApp number for the lead magnet?
A: Test both. If your audience is Nigeria/Africa, WhatsApp-first often converts higher. For longer-term email marketing, ask for email too — a two-field form (email + WhatsApp optional) works well.

Q5 — How often should I repost the same lead magnet on social media?
A: Repost the best performing content once every 5–10 days, rotate format (video, story, image), and tweak the headline. Keep testing.
