What is a micro problem solver?
Don’t get confused.
It’s just another name for lead magnets. I could have called it a lead magnet, but I chose not to. Because there’s a slight difference between a lead magnet and a micro problem solver.
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing the word lead magnet?
FREE STUFF!
Right?
And once you get down to create a lead magnet, these two words keep on running in the back of your head.
And hinders the QUALITY of the result.
You end up creating a mediocre lead magnet which, honestly, no one wants to read.
And you miss a major chance to deepen the relationship with your audience.
A lead magnet has two major functions:
a) establish you as an authority figure in the niche
b) build relationship with the audience
And a mediocre lead magnet could never build relationship or establish you as an authority.
That’s why…
You need to install a new program in your mental operating system.
The idea of a micro problem solver.
A micro problem solver is more fun to create, easy to create-consume, and has a higher perceived value as compared to a lead magnet.
How to create a micro problem solver?
If you’re trying to build a (successful) business, you must be solving a problem in the market.
A micro problem takes the problem and helps the audience go from position A to position B, aka helps them get a step closer to their desired goal.
For instance, if you’re helping people with productivity.
A micro problem solver could be a 7-day habit builder.
Once they’ll build habits, they’ll be a step closer to desired goal.
How to create a micro problem solver?
Take the problem you’re solving in the market and divide it into a step-by-step solution.
Let’s say you want to take them from their initial stage A (having a problem) to their desired outcome Z (happy customer).
However, they can’t jump directly from stage A to stage Z.
There’s a whole path that they would have to take if they wanna successfully reach their dream stage.
A micro problem solver helps them get from stage A to stage B (with the least resistance path and quickest time possible).
And makes them aware of the solution to go from stage B to stage Z.
Sounds esoteric and highly convoluted, right?
Here’s an example:
Consider each module of this playbook.
I could turn this playbook into an ebook, video course, or a drip email course.
