What is a live challenge?
A live challenge is an event that takes place over a set period of time. It can be used to engage and connect with your audience, promote your brand, or grow your business. Most live challenges last for 3 to 5 days, and the challenge usually helps your ideal audience work through actionable steps to achieve a result.

Why are live challenges a great idea for a lead magnet?
There are several reasons why live challenges make terrific lead magnets, but the main one is because you are spending more time with your audience. When you compare a 3 or 5-day live challenge to a 1-hour webinar, it just makes sense that your audience will feel more comfortable with you, your brand, and your offer.
It builds that know, like, and trust factor so much quicker, making it an awesome lead magnet for a launch.

It won’t have as great of an engagement or conversion rate because the live aspect generates a lot of excitement around your challenge or launch.
