What's this strategy called?
It’s called CONTENT UPGRADES!
Heard of Content Upgrades?
Yes?
For those who might’ve not heard of the term “CONTENT UPGRADES”;
What is a content upgrade?
Just as the name implies, it’s simply an upgraded resource, lead magnet, freebie, or giveaway to a free version.
When I was starting, I had just one way people could get into my email list (a big mistake) which was content upgrades.
I only had a single post thus there was just one way people could get into my list which was if they signed up to receive the bonus I had put together to support my round-up blog guide.
It converted 100+ into email subscribers which is great for a new blog!
Creating a content upgrade or a content freebie can be challenging because most times, our minds get blank on what to offer; this blog post will erase that and make sure you offer an irresistible freebie for your blog visitors.

What is a content upgrade pdf for blogging?
A CONTENT UPGRADE is simply bonused content that people can get access to in exchange for their email address. Unlike traditional lead magnets, content upgrades are unique to the specific content that people are already reading on your blog.
You simply offer your readers specific upgrades to the content they are already reading on your blog in exchange for their subscription to your list.
Here’s a great example of a typical CONTENT UPGRADE on my blog…
Here are two main steps to create the perfect CONTENT UPGRADE for your blogs:
How to Create a Content Upgrade for a Blog Post:
First step: Coming up with an irresistible freebie,
Step two: Creating a conversion-focused opt-in for your UPGRADE (I use ThriveLeads to design all my lead opt-in forms. Click here to try it).
Step one: Coming up with an irresistible freebie
To come up with an upgrade your readers can’t help but grab, you need an offer that directly ties in with the content.
Something that adds value to the original blog post or content.
Something that will make them feel “this content is useless if I don’t get this”.
Step two: Creating a conversion-focused opt-in for your UPGRADE
The first-ever opt-in form I created for my content upgrade didn’t convert well.
I reached out to Kasey Luck, Email Marketing Expert, for help and she gave me a few tips that boosted my conversion rate that’ll be sharing with you.
Kasey replied within a few hours with some tips for me…
[I wished I had a screenshot of the opt-in :)]
The two tips she gave me were:
“Show an image of the download (content upgrade)”
“2-step sign-ups perform better than 1-step”
I immediately implemented it and have since seen great results. Thanks, Kasey!
To create an optimized content upgrade, I used a free tool called Rapidology (no longer active).
Thrive Leads is a premium WordPress plugin by Thrive Themes that allows you to create conversion-focused opt-in forms for your blogs or website.
