Grab your Leads with your awesome Lead Magnet made by Beacon

Pros:

For a quick idea of a Lead Magnet creation, Beacon has your back. It has ready-made templates, all you need to do is to use the template on your liking. Drag-and-drop, it’s really easy to navigate and customize your Lead Magnet.

Cons:

Because I mentioned that the Pros of Beacon is for a quick idea lead magnet creation, the con for Beacon is you still need a great Designer or Illustrator or both if you want the most highly-valuable Content on your disposal. The limited templates for Beacon is simple and plain because it’s intended to be like that so that you don't think very hard to design your Lead Magnet.

The Complete Lead Magnet System from Design to Download

Pros:

Beacon have thought carefully about the whole lead magnet journey from design to how to make downloading them easier for the end user. I've not seen any other platform that offers such as complete solution to creating lead magnets and getting them to convert.

Cons:

Some of the design options on the lead magnet forms are a bit limited but I've no doubt more templates are on the way.

Reasons for choosing Beacon

Beacon is way more than a lead magnet creator, it also enables easy download of your lead magnets via optin forms that can be embedded as popups, inline forms and banners on any website.

Slow to start, but they're ramping it up

While it may not be 100% competitive with some of the competing services out there, it's getting closer.

Functionality

Pros:

The features they offer, from better design functionality to hosting your e books on their site with built in interaction metrics makes this platform pretty nice. They have a few templates available to help improve design and their feature of transposing old blog posts into ebooks can save you a little time during the design phase.

Cons:

Despite some of these great features listed in the pros section, it's not quite put together. Our company has been with them for a while and we can see that they have made huge improvements, which is why we stick with them. from a design perspective, things still feel "box-ey" but that is getting better. Within the next year or so, I would expect them to have a very smooth interface that solves a lot of the problems we have experienced in the past.

Amazing Tool to Create and Distribute Lead Magnets and Ebooks

Even if you have existing content, converting that content into shareable documents *should* be easy, but it's not. Beacon takes away much of the frustration out of creating a shareable ebook and gives you some great tools to make the end result attractive, and easy to share.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Greatly simplifies the process of creating documents that are (easily) shareable, attractively laid out, and prompt action. It has many templates and layouts which can be further customized to reflect your brand colors and logo. The sharing is done through a link to the document which is hosted on Beacon's server. It allows the creator to (optionally) allow the document to also be downloaded as a PDF. The created documents are mobile responsive but has some quirks.

Cons:

A bit hard to use and get used to but much, much, much easier than other competing products out there. The product has some quirks and potentially some bugs that make the document creation process a bit tedious. Having your own private domain is offered only as an upgrade. Mobile responsiveness is pretty good but has some ways to go. (For example, the social sharing icons interfere with the readability.)

Beacon Lights the Way Home

A product like Beacon works best with a custom domain—a branded website you own that offers a professional polish rather than a goofy and convoluted URL. I was delighted to find their custom domain option works very well—and seems to resolve much more quickly than some other software solutions that also utilize custom domains.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

My first experience with Beacon came as they were primarily describing the product as a quick and easy way to produce a "lead magnet"—those free books, reports, infographics and the like that websites offer their visitors in exchange for their email addresses. Beacon has since expanded to offer basic leadpage design as well as the inline ads that offer those "magnetic freebies." When designing, say, an ebook, the software can pull in your various blog posts and offer a way to repurpose that content reasonably painlessly using a growing collection of templates.

Cons:

Beacon's initial emphasis on production of lead magnets seemed to make it a bit of a "one-hit wonder," and the initial offering of templates was limited, but as they've expanded I am happy to report they have added features—including leadpages—and made good on their promise to keep adding valuable templates.

Terrible - Wiped Out Hours Of My Work

Pros:

Generally easy to use, nice drag and drop functionality. End product looks good - IF you can get that far.

Cons:

2 days running Beacon wiped all of my work on one of my projects. I was saving every few minutes and when I went into my ebook the next day none of the previous days updates were there. I spent over 6 hours on a Saturday (when I should really have been playing with my kids) making updates and completed the ebook. I was literally saving my project every minute. I then went back into the ebook and none of that day's updates had saved. A whole days work gone. I contacted Beacon and they could not help, other than give me a refund for my most recent payment.I replied to this and 2 days later they still haven't even bothered to read my message. It's now impossible for me to use Beacon, as even if I save my work regularly there is a strong chance that it will wipe out my work. I will have to use Designrr, which is not as user friendly but at least doesn't delete everything for no reason.

From blog to ebook with ease and style

If you don't like Beacon, you have many other traditional alternatives: editing your ebook yourself with Word or InDesign but it won't be quick and, if you are not a designer, it might not look professional. Don't make things the hard way. Use Beacon

Pros:

Beacon would design your ebook for you. Just install it, import your content and tweak the automathic ebook Beacon just created for you. Once you like it, use it for your promotion, to get leads, etc

Cons:

I'm a Beacon user who is happy with the features... so it is kind of hard for me to come up with any critique or suggestion.

Pros:

Beacon helps users to create professional-looking ebook quickly and easily. There are many beautiful templates to choose from. Users can even create ebook from existing website content as easy as pasting the link.

Cons:

If you use existing website content, it will be imported into one section and needed further editing. It would be nice if Beacon can automatically separate content into sections based on Headings (H1-H2-H3-etc.)
