7 Freebies You Can Create in a Weekend (Yes, Really)

Have you ever stared at a blank screen and thought, “I know I need to give something valuable away… but what could I possibly create?”

I’ve been there. More than once.

I’ve procrastinated on creating a freebie out of fear, out of “I don’t know what I’m doing,” and — let’s be honest — out of sheer tech phobia.

And while I’d love to say I snapped out of it and created something amazing on day one… truth is, I spent way too long overthinking it.

Until I finally realised: You don’t need to be techy. You don’t need to be fancy. And you definitely don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need one weekend. One simple, faithful idea.

And the willingness to serve.

Let’s walk through it together.

First… What Is a Freebie (and Why Does It Matter)?

In business terms, it's often called a "lead magnet" — a free, valuable resource you give in exchange for someone's email address.

But in kingdom terms?

A freebie is a seed.

It's generosity in motion.

It's your way of saying: I see you. I get it. And I want to help you, even before you buy anything.

That heart posture matters.

2 Corinthians 9:6 reminds us: "Whoever sows generously will also reap generously."

When we offer from a place of love and service — not pressure or performance — we build a business that God can bless.

What You Don't Need:

Let's clear the clutter first.

You don't need:

• 20-page eBooks
• Paid design tools
• Complex funnels
• A huge email list

You need:

• A clear idea
• A simple format
• A tool like Canva, Google Docs, or Groove to package it up

Got a few hours on the weekend? Then yes, you can absolutely create your first (or next!) freebie.

7 Freebies You Can Create This Weekend

Here are 7 real examples — all of which could become a beautiful beginning to your email list, blog growth, or product funnel.

1. Printable Scripture Cards

Create a set of 5–10 beautifully designed scripture cards on a theme (peace, purpose, provision).

Use Canva, select a colour palette, and export the design as a downloadable PDF.

Great for Pinterest and Instagram!

Idea:"5 Bible Verses for Women Who Feel Called but Overwhelmed."

2. Three-Day Devotional PDF

Write a short, encouraging devotional series. Keep each day 300–400 words. Add a prayer and reflection space.

It's a powerful way to build connection and start conversations rooted in faith.

Idea: "He Leads: A 3-Day Devotional for Women Building with God."

3. Checklist or Planner Page

Sometimes, the most powerful freebies are the simplest. A well-designed checklist or planner page helps your audience feel focused, supported, and ready to take action—without feeling overwhelmed.

Think: "Your First 5 Steps to Starting a Faith-Based Business" or "Monthly Prayer Planner for Christian Creators."

People love a one-page win. Simple, scannable, and actionable.

Idea: "5-Minute Daily CEO Prayer Planner."

4. Mini Email Series

Instead of a PDF, write a 3-day email welcome series that delivers bite-sized encouragement or tips.

Idea: "3 Days to Clarity: Reignite Your Faith + Focus in Business."

Write it once, automate it forever.

5. Simple Quiz

A fun, interactive way to help people learn more about themselves — and feel seen.

Use TryInteract or a free Google Form to start.

Idea: "What's Your Christian Business Personality?"

(Then send a matching encouragement email based on results.)

6. Worksheet or Journal Page

Help your audience reflect. Journal prompts, gratitude lists, or values-mapping pages are powerful tools for mindset + faith.

Idea: "God-Given Goals: A Vision & Values Reflection Worksheet."

7. Top 5 Tools Guide

Everyone loves resource lists. Share the 5 tools (free or paid) that help you manage your online business or spiritual growth.

Idea:

"5 Free Tools Every Faith-Driven Entrepreneur Needs to Know About."

Don't Wait for Perfect — Just Begin

Here's the thing: Your first freebie won't be your last.

It's okay if it's simple, it's okay if it's not "perfect", what matters is that you begin.

When we offer what's in our hand, God meets us with what's in His heart.

And the ripple effect?

That freebie might change someone's week, or their business, or their whole relationship with faith and purpose.

That's the power of one freebie created in one weekend.

Stay Blessed,

Deborah 💛

Mini Devotional

📖 Scripture:

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace."

— 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

💛 Reflection:

God didn't ask you to have it all figured out before you begin, he simply asked you to use what He placed in your hands.

Your freebie is more than a marketing tool — it's a ministry opportunity.

🙏 Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the gifts You've given me.

Help me to trust that I don't need to be perfect to be purposeful.

Give me clarity, courage, and creativity to share what I have — even if it's small.

Let my first steps be planted in faith and service, not fear or performance.

Bless the women who will one day receive what I create.

In Jesus' name, amen.
