Build a Lead Magnet That Grows Your List and Builds Trust
Build a Lead Magnet That Grows Your List and Builds Trust
Email lists aren’t growing the way they used to — and here’s why:
People are tired of junk, low-value opt-ins that deliver zero value.
In this Coaching Edge episode, I walk you through how to build a high-impact freebie that doesn’t just grow your list — it builds real trust with the people you’re meant to help.
Here’s what we cover:
- The 4 things every high-converting opt-in or lead magnet must do in 2025
- Why video is your trust-building superpower (and how to use it well)
- A real coach case study: how Charlotta created a free 21-day video-based course that adds hundreds to her list monthly
- How to connect your freebie to your offer so it leads to real clients
- 20 lead magnet ideas you can create in one week or less
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing an old opt-in, this episode will give you clear direction, smart strategy, and a nudge to actually get it done.

Wendy McCallum
Business Coach for Coaches, Burnout & Alcohol Coach for High Achievers
I’m Wendy McCallum — a coach, mentor, and former lawyer who’s spent the last 15 years helping people build lives and businesses they actually want to wake up to. When I first left law, I had no guidebook for how to do this coaching thing. I floundered — hard. I undercharged, overthought, and overinvested in shiny solutions that didn’t really move the needle. But every mistake taught me something, and eventually, I built the kind of coaching practice I once only dreamed about — one that’s profitable, sustainable, and full of work I truly love. Today, I coach two kinds of people: ✨ Busy professionals who are ready to make big, meaningful changes — whether that's finding balance, recovering from burnout, or rethinking their relationship with alcohol. ✨ And newer coaches who are building their businesses from the ground up and want a clear, sustainable path forward without all the gimmicks and noise. Whether I’m helping someone simplify their business or reclaim their personal life, the heart of my work is the same: giving smart, capable people the clarity, encouragement, and real-world tools they need to move forward — in a way that feels good, not overwhelming. If you’re ready for something better — in your work, your life, or your business — you’re in the right place. And I’m so glad you’re here.
