Thank you so much for this. I give away an exclusive short story that I promised will never be available elsewhere, but my list is barely growing. I’ll try your ideas.

In reply to Mona AlvaradoFrazier. Thanks for your thoughts, Mona. I would think you could definitely create freebies on those topics. How to build resilience, inspire hope during difficult times, find support when you're grieving, etc. It may help to ask some of your readers: "What was the main message you took from the book?" That could help you center in on a theme you could use in your freebies. Good luck!

In reply to Mona AlvaradoFrazier. I meant to say "Teens don't read Substack..."

This is the topic I’ve been mulling over since moving to Substack from WordPress. I loved the genre tips, although I don’t write in those genres. I have one YA novel published, with the other coming in May 2024. Although they are YA, most of my readers are in their mid-twenties to forties. Also, teens need to read Substack or blogs.

Both novels deal with loss, grief, family difficulties, hope, and resilience. Pretty serious subjects. My question is whether my ‘freebie’ should be along those lines for reports, lists, or quizzes.
Thank you!

Good ideas here for how to create magnets that will convert yet can be tailored to the genre/fiction audience. 🙂
