    Preface

    Let's get one thing straight—most lead magnets suck.

    You know what works?

    Lead magnets that actually solve problems.

    Ones that feel like gold to the person downloading them. Ones that make someone think, "Damn, if their free stuff is this good, imagine what their paid stuff looks like."

    That's what this playbook is about.

    Is it easy? No—but it’s worth it.

    It can take some thought and effort. But when you get it right, your lead magnet can create game-changing momentum for your business.

    Getting one right might even change your entire life.

    This guide isn't for people looking to build a checklist or quiz funnel and calling it a day. It's about creating something that adds value and makes an impact—something you’re actually proud to put your name on.

    Why Build a Lead Magnet?

    Lead magnets might be the smartest marketing move you ever make.

    Why? Because they set up your sales process for success—before the conversation even starts.

    When you give real value upfront, you’re not just collecting emails—you’re building trust. You’re showing future clients that you understand their struggles and already have the answers they need.

    And that trust? It’s your unfair advantage.

    Done right, your lead magnet doesn’t just market—it builds trust and sets you up for the close.

    The Prerequisites

    You don't need every detail of your business mapped out to launch a lead magnet.

    It's one of the best ways to test demand, uncover what your audience really needs, and start conversations that could lead to sales.

    And the cherry on top? It builds trust by positioning you as the go-to expert.

    But—let's be honest. Most people feel a little awkward doing this for the first time.

    If you're just starting out—or even a seasoned business owner who knows sharpening things up builds confidence and gets results—we recommend completing The 101 Module from the www.sevenfigurecreators.com program.

    The 101 Module will help you:

    • Dial in your offer so you know exactly what you're selling.
    • Define your ICP so your lead magnets hit where it matters.
    • Lay the groundwork to turn those leads into paying clients.

    The 5 Rules of Value for Killer Lead Magnets

    The value of a lead magnet comes down to one thing: how much someone thinks it's worth to them.

    If you want your lead magnet to land, try to hit these five dimensions of value:


    1. Scarcity: Make It Feel Rare

    The rarer it feels, the more valuable it is. Position your lead magnet as something people can't find anywhere else—insider knowledge or something they wouldn't get by Googling. Considerable experience, knowledge, research, or spend would be needed to replicate the information.

    Example:

    "The exact [framework/tool] [key person/company] uses to [achieve big result]—you won’t find this freely available online."


    2. Relevance: Solve Their Exact Problem

    Focus your lead magnet on one specific problem your audience has. The closer it is to their pain point or goal, the more they'll want it. Broad content feels less valuable. Specificity wins.

    Example:

    "For coaches struggling with no-show clients

    Why Finding Lead Magnet Ideas Can Feel Hard

    Most people struggle with creating lead magnets not because they lack ideas or knowledge, but because they can't see what's right in front of them.

    Here's why:

    1. You Think It's Too Basic: The stuff you know feels like common sense, right? You assume everyone else knows it too—but they don't. What's obvious to you is gold to someone who hasn't figured it out yet.

    2. Imposter Syndrome: Maybe you're worried you're not "expert enough" to tell people what's valuable. Here's the truth: you don't need to be the world's top authority. You just need to be one step ahead of the people you're helping.

    3. Overthinking It: You try to make your lead magnet the biggest and flashiest thing ever. You pour weeks into it, and it flops. Or worse, you get stuck in analysis paralysis and don't do anything at all.

    The smartest way to create lead magnets?

    Test the demand before you even build the thing.

    The Biggest Mistakes People Make With Lead Magnet Ideation


    1. Don't Start with the Format

    "I'm going to create an ebook!" "I know, I'll make a checklist!" "Oh man, I'll build an epic quiz funnel!"

    STOP.

    DON'T DO THIS.

    Starting with the format is a guaranteed way to create something nobody cares about.

    Focus on how you create value first, then decide on the format.


    2. Don’t Make Irrelevant Lead Magnets

    If your lead magnet has zero connection to your actual business or offer—just because you think it'll get likes, comments, and followers—huge mistake. It's a waste of time and energy.

    Do it right, and the time and effort spent on your lead magnet compounds audience interest in your actual product or offer.

    Do it wrong and…

    • You attract the wrong crowd
    • Waste time and effort
    • And worst of all...

    Those opt-ins won't turn into sales.

    You don’t need decades of experience—or even years—to create a killer lead magnet.

    It's about pulling what you already know—what you're working on—or what you're learning—and packaging it into something valuable.

    Here's how...


    Step 1: Define Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

    The BEST lead magnets showcase and establish your authority with your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) by helping them solve their problems.

    If you haven't nailed your ICP yet, stop here and go to Develop Your Offer: Part 1 in the 101 section of the course modules. This will walk you through exactly how to define your ICP and find offers that sell.

    OK, so you've read the last section, and maybe you're just starting out or feeling short on value to share. Don't worry—this next part will show you exactly how to turn what you already have into value-packed lead magnets.

    When it comes to creating lead magnets, you've got two paths:

    1. Innovate and/or Repurpose: Create something fresh based on what you know. Repurpose: Adapt existing knowledge, frameworks, or tools into something new and valuable.

    2. Curate (Steal Like an Artist): Curating and aggregating the best insights, frameworks, and know-how from other people or companies who already have authority and results. Understand their knowledge, package it with your own spin, and highlight them if it adds credibility.


    The key is to add your unique twist. Don't just copy—interpret, remix, and make it uniquely yours.

    Both approaches work, but the magic happens when you combine them: take what's out there, layer it with you

    IT DOESN'T MATTER—AS LONG AS:

    2. It's easy, fast, and comfortable for you to create.

    Choose a format that gets it done—without over-complicating it. Simple wins.
