Everything is already designed for you — you simply customize it with your own branding, copy, and freebie.
Step 1: Customize Your Opt-In Page
Your opt-in page is the page people land on before joining your email list.
This page should clearly explain:
What your freebie is
Who it’s for
What result they’ll get
Why they should sign up
Your opt-in page includes:
A headline
Supporting text
A signup form
A call-to-action button
What to Include on Your Opt-In Page
Here are a few important elements to customize:
Headline
Clearly explain the transformation or result.
Example:
“Download the Ultimate Weekend Packing Checklist”
“Get My Free 5-Step Launch Guide”
Supporting Copy
Share a little more about:
What’s included
Who it’s for
What problem it solves
Keep this short and easy to read.
Call-to-Action Button
Use action-focused wording like:
Download Now
Get the Free Guide
Send Me the Checklist
Access the Training
Step 2: Customize Your Thank You Page
After someone signs up, they’ll be redirected to your thank you page.
This page confirms their signup and gives you another opportunity to guide them toward the next step in your business.
You could invite them to:
Follow you on Instagram
Join your Facebook community
Book a discovery call
Browse your shop
Watch a training
Explore your course or offer
This page is often overlooked, but it can become a powerful conversion opportunity.
Step 3: Set Up Your Email Sequence
Once someone joins your list, your email sequence will automatically begin.
This sequence is where you:
Deliver the freebie
Welcome new subscribers
Build trust
Introduce your offers
Your sequence might include:
A welcome email
Freebie delivery email
Value-based educational emails
Storytelling emails
Offer invitations
Example Email Sequence
Email 1
Deliver the freebie and welcome them.
Email 2
Share a helpful tip or lesson.
Email 3
Tell a story or build connection.
Email 4
Introduce your product, service, or next step.
Don’t Worry if You Don’t Have Everything Yet
If you don’t yet have:
A course
A shop
A coaching offer
A paid program
That’s completely okay.
You can still start building your audience now and grow your offers over time. The most important thing is beginning to grow your email list consistently.
Best Practices for Your Lead Gen Funnel

Your funnel does not need to be complicated to work well.
Focus on One Clear Offer
Avoid overwhelming visitors with too many options.
Use Strong Calls-to-Action
Tell people exactly what to do next.
Make Your Freebie Specific

Final Tip
Your lead gen funnel is often the very first impression someone has of your business.
A simple, clear, and valuable funnel can help you grow your audience consistently while building trust with future customers.
The best part? Once it’s set up, your funnel can continue working for you automatically in the background while you focus on growing your business 💕
