Growth Hack #1 – Boost Email Captures by 785% Overnight:
It’s called a content upgrade.
Normally people have to pay for premium content. You can give it away in exchange for an email address.
Take a blog post or a video that you’ve got and offer an extra bonus as a PDF. Make your users give up their emails to get the upgrade.
Brian from Backlinko added “Download PDF version of this article” in exchange for an email. Instantly he saw a 785% increase in conversions!
Other folks utilize the same technique on their YouTube channels, offering “Download the PDF transcription of this video”.

The result?
Headlines with negative superlatives performed 30% better than ones without superlatives.
And the average click-through rate on headlines with negative superlatives was a staggering 63% higher than that of their positive counterparts.

So, let them do what they’re used to and set up your onboarding to be similar to the major players’.
