âś… NEXT STEPS: Clarify Before You Post
Before using this prompt, get laser clear on these 5 elements to ensure your giveaway drives the right kind of engagement—not just random likes or freebie hunters:
- What’s the one, identity-driven prize your ideal client actually craves?
→ Choose something that aligns with your offer or transformation, not just something flashy or expensive. - What’s the one specific action you want them to take after the giveaway?
→ DM you? Join your list? Visit your landing page? Know this in advance so you can reverse engineer the flow. - What emotional trigger or urgent pain is your audience feeling right now?
→ This is your “why now” moment—tap into their frustration, FOMO, or deep longing. - What triggering event just happened in their life or business?
→ A launch flop, career pivot, new offer, business plateau? Frame your giveaway as the timely solution. - Who’s your smallest, richest niche—and how does this giveaway serve them specifically?
→ Avoid “anyone who wants to grow online” messaging. Instead: “This is for the health coach stuck between content and conversion.”
🎯 Pro Tip: The strongest giveaways don’t just give away products—they give away momentum. Frame the prize as a shortcut to success or relief.
