Elements that can be embedded in the text are called lead magnets. This is especially the case when these lead magnets are only available in return for data exchange. In other words, if the reader has to enter their contact details to download the document or access the video, then this is a Lead Magnet.
Here's what you can achieve with each of these Lead Magnets and how to make best use of them.

  • Rich Text: Plain text is inserted here. The text can also be written bold, italic or underlined. The text can be structured with bullet points or numbered lists. Furthermore, words can be linked to other articles or external pages. This can be done by selecting one or more words, pressing the linking sign and selecting the article to be linked or entering the external page's URL to which the word should be linked to.
  • Quote: If you would like a quote or statement to appear even more expressive, you can insert it using the Quote text type. The text then appears in a larger font and a different font color than the rest of the article. Quotes can also be used to loosen up long texts.
  • Image: An image can be inserted here.
  • Gallery: Several images can be inserted here.
  • Table: To insert a table, this element can be used.
  • Video embed: This element is used to insert a YouTube or Vimeo video.
  • HTML Embed: An HTML document can be inserted here.
  • Teaser: A teaser is used to draw attention to another page.

As visible in the above image, the title of the teaser is defined in the "Headline". It is best to use the same title of the page you want to draw attention to. In the "Description" field, a short description of the page is written. Upload the "Image" that will appear in the teaser. Use the same image as the title image of the article you are referring to. The "Button text" is the call to action text that appears in the button field that must be clicked to be redirected to the page. The "Button link" is used to select the article to which the teaser should redirect. The "Setting" tab can be left as it is (on default).

The below is an example of a filled out teaser:
