Episode notes
PDF Lead Magnets Are Fading
- Lead magnets are losing effectiveness because generic PDFs no longer motivate immediate signups.
- People want instant value now rather than a vague future promise from a newsletter.
Instant Value Beats Vague Promises
- People enjoy newsletters but resist signing up without immediate payoff.
- Lead magnets should deliver instant, tangible value to overcome signup friction.
Give The Answers, Not The Homework
- Give people a tool or turnkey outcome instead of a PDF to remove work for them.
- Provide ready-to-use outputs like a prompt, template, or generated result they can copy and paste.
