2026 — How to Use a Mini Course as a Lead Magnet in Nigeria (Step-by-Step)

Learn a practical, step-by-step system to build a mini course lead magnet that converts Nigerian buyers in 2026. Includes real examples, proven setup, and how to get free promotion with 7hubent (WhatsApp +2349077131487). (freshlearn.com)

Why a mini course works as a lead magnet (short and clear)

People prefer bite-size learning. A mini course (3–7 short lessons) gives fast wins and builds trust quickly. (ScoreApp)
It shows your method. Learners sample your style and more likely become paying customers later. (freshlearn.com)
Higher opt-in and share rates. Mini courses are more engaging than PDFs or checklists — they convert better and get shared. (Mini Course Generator)

Real life example: A Lagos tailor teaches “3 steps to take measurements that sell” — 4 short videos + checklist. People who watch buy a paid pattern-making course later.

Step-by-step guide (do this in sequence)

Step 1 — Pick one clear outcome (30–60 minutes)

Decide what one result learners will get after the mini course (example: “Write an Instagram ad that sells in 7 minutes”).
Keep it outcome-focused: not “Learn marketing” but “Get a ready-to-use ad template.”
Why: A clear promise makes people say “Yes” fast.

Step 2 — Know your Nigerian audience (1 hour)

Create a 1-line profile: age range, city (Lagos/Abuja/Kano), main problem, preferred language (English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo).
Example: “Female food-vendor, 25–40, Lagos, needs low-cost ways to get daily customers.”
Why: Messages that match local problems convert better.

Step 3 — Design the mini course (4–8 hours)

Format: 3 short videos (2–6 minutes each) OR 5 micro-lessons (audio + one PDF checklist).
Structure: Hook → Quick tip → Mini task → Next lesson invite.
Include 1 real-world task per lesson (e.g., post this template to WhatsApp groups).
Why: Short tasks make learners complete the course and take action.

Step 4 — Create the content quickly (1–2 days)

Record on phone (good lighting, quiet room). Keep each video <6 minutes.
Use free editing apps (InShot, CapCut). Export MP4.
Create 1 PDF checklist and a course landing page (email capture).
Why: Fast, real content beats polished but empty content.

Step 5 — Build the landing page + opt-in (2–4 hours)

Headline = promise (Example: “3 Quick Steps to Sell More on WhatsApp — Free Mini Course”).
Fields: name + phone or email (for Nigeria, phone + WhatsApp opt-in works great).
Include: short video preview, lesson list, and clear CTA button (“Send Course on WhatsApp”).
Why: People on mobile prefer one-tap signups and WhatsApp delivery.

Step 6 — Deliver the mini course (automation)

Option A: Email drip (send lessons on Day 0, Day 1, Day 3).
Option B (recommended for Nigeria): deliver via WhatsApp link or auto-reply so they get lesson 1 instantly on WhatsApp.
Why: WhatsApp open rates are far higher in Nigeria — faster engagement. (Lagos Wiki)

Step 7 — Promote where Nigerians hang out (free + paid)

Free: Post in active business WhatsApp groups, Telegram, Facebook local groups. Use the 7hubent channels to get free promotion (+2349077131487 on WhatsApp and t.me/hubent1). Include the Lagoswiki 7hubent post as a shareable reference. (Lagos Wiki)
Paid: Small Facebook Ads targeted to cities and interests.
Always include a short local testimonial or quick case study on the page.

Step 8 — Nurture leads into offers (1–4 weeks)

After course completion, send a short follow-up sequence:
- Day after completion: Ask about their result (reply on WhatsApp).
- 3 days later: Offer a paid next step with a one-time bonus.
- 7–14 days: Social proof and deadline offer.
  Why: Mini course builds trust; you must follow up to convert.

Step 9 — Track and improve

Track opt-in rate, completion rate (who finished lesson 3), and conversion to paid offer.
Tweak headlines, lessons, or delivery channel monthly for better results.
