Create a free resource library to grow your email list
Have you ever thought of creating a free resource library to grow your email list?
In my 12 Lead Magnet Ideas To Increase Email Subscribers, I listed several valuable resources like checklists, worksheets, a resource list/toolkit, etc. for your audience.
Whenever you pull the best stuff together and/or the best tools to use on a single page AND readers don’t have to track down all the information on their own, you have a hit. That’s why it’s an excellent idea to create a free resource library to grow your email list!
So what exactly is a resource library?
A resource library is a library full of free downloads for your subscribers. It’s also a place to host ALL of your lead magnets on one page!
A resource library also provides massive value to your subscribers because they’re not just getting one lead magnet, they’re getting a library full of different things they can download.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
You create a library of resources. I created a single page that is password protected, that contains a cover image for each of my resources.
Below is my password protected page for subscribers to login and receive access:
When new subscriber’s opt-in to my email list they are sent a welcome email with a link to the library and the password.
Once subscriber’s login, they can click on the cover images and be linked to each resource for download.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
- People are picky about what they sign up for – the more value the better.
- Feels (and is) more valuable than a single opt-in incentive.
- It’s easy to manage content upgrades because you don’t have to send them out individually. So- instead of setting up a new email sequence for each different/new lead magnet on your site, you can just send them to this one page!
- It makes your subscribers life easier – now they won’t have to re-subscribe to download new freebies.
Make sure your library full of free resources are of value to YOUR ideal audience.
Here’s a screenshot of my own free resource library on Your Marketing BFF:
I’d suggest having at least three lead magnets created before using a resource library as a lead magnet tool. But once you create a free resource library to grow your email list, it’s easy to add additional lead magnets on an on-going basis… and something your readers will keep coming back to!
