Step 3: Create the Lead Magnet
In this step, we’re creating our short report… and guess what every report needs?
Yes – a title! Let’s get ChatGPT to create one for us.
Now you have many interesting titles to choose from. We’ll go with title #2 - Smoothie Secrets: Conquer Food Cravings and Watch the Weight Melt Away! It has the advantage of highlighting the actual result, in this case “watch the weight melt away”. This gets the prospect’s imagination engaged.
We added the word “food” to the subtitle to make it just that little bit better.
Time to outline the report. Yoohoo! ChatGPT…. Get readyyyyy!
ChatGPT gives us an awesome outline…
With this outline, you have 2 alternatives:
- You can write the report yourself using the outline for reference
- You can ask ChatGPT to write the report for you.
In this example, we’ll ask ChatGPT to write the report for us. We’ll do this in blocks.
Asking ChatGPT to write out an entire report at once will use up the tokens fast and we’ll need to keep regenerating responses. So it’s better to do it the “slower” way.
When it comes to ChatGPT, the mantra is – “Slow is smooth… and smooth is fast.”
Let’s start with the introduction…
The introduction is good but the paragraph is a bit too long. To improve readability, we’ll ask ChatGPT to break it down into smaller paragraphs… and format the output.
“Fear not” seems to be a favorite phrase of ChatGPT. I’d remove it as it may have become a marker for AI generated text. Also, I just don’t like it. It sounds pompous.
The introduction is done. Now for the body. Since we’re looking to create a report that’s about 1,200-1,500 words long, we’ll ask ChatGPT to expand on each point.
Let’s do a word count check at Wordcounter
https://wordcounter.net/and see if it got the word count right.
That’s 1,494 words. Slightly longer than we expected. From here, you can manually edit the content and shorten it… or ask ChatGPT to do it for you.
ChatGPT even wrote us a conclusion, all on its own. Taking liberties… but we’ll let it be. Can’t be too hard on ChatGPT, can we?
This conclusion is good, but the goal of the lead magnet is to get us sales.
We’re promoting The Smoothie Diet… so we need a call to action (CTA) to tempt readers to click and visit the sales page.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to create one for us…
That’s brilliant! You can hyperlink the words, “explore The Smoothie Diet” or “Start your smoothie transformation now” and link either phrase to the sales page for the smoothie diet. Of course, you’ll be using your affiliate link here.
Get Image Ideas from ChatGPT
A report that’s all words will be dull and monotonous. Sprinkling a few images within your report will add a touch of color to it… and keep the readers more engaged.
If you’re wondering what images to use, you can ask ChatGPT for ideas…
Excellent. You can always find royalty-free images on Pixabayor use a stock photo site like Depositphotos.
Besides images that are used with the text, you’ll also need a cover image for your report.
Let’s ask ChatGPT for ideas…
So it gave us two ideas. We’ll choose the first one and ask it to create instructions for our graphic designer.
If you’re a graphic designer, you may not need this… but if you’re hiring someone from a site like Fiverr, it’ll help to give them an idea of what you need.
We followed ChatGPT’s idea and instructions and this is what we came up with…
Looks outstanding! Let’s see what we’ve done so far…
Here’s where we stand:
- ·We targeted an audience that has a specific problem.
- ·We chose a format for our lead magnet (short report).
- ·We’ve created a lead magnet to give away.
- We created an eCover for our report.
I recently came across your training, and I wanted to thank you for solving a significant issue I've been struggling with. When I reviewed my Landing Page, I realized it was far from what I wanted—created back in 2021, it was in need of a serious overhaul. Thanks to your training, I now have the tools and confidence to tackle it and make substantial improvements.
I've been so focused on writing and updating poor-quality articles that I neglected other important aspects of my work. Moving forward, I plan to create a structured timetable to balance my tasks more effectively.
Thank you again for your invaluable training.
Best regards,
Elke 😀
Thank you, for a Great Tutorial, I have just read it right through. Plenty to take in , so will require me to have a few re-reads.
Great Information to say the least.
I find it a bit Daunting (Just Like Soraya), but then Eric comes along and says very easy to Follow, (Thks Eric).
I think it boils down to experience , and as you say the more you use the easier it becomes.
As I said great stuff, can't wait to get stuck, as they say
"Lest Haste more Speed"
Cheers

Great tutorial!
Though, I tend to say use "please" and "thank you" when asking ChatGPT for assistance, as I find this helps me to be more courteous to everyone, and not just to an amazing bot.
Canadians USED to be made fun of for always saying "Thank You", but in the past 20 years, we've lost that compliment (my label, of course).
Now we've become so rude to each other that "sorry" is the most common retort when butting in front of someone.
And sadly, saying NOTHING when someone does a kindness to us, is the "new norm" here in Canada.
My new goal is to always say "Thank You" when shown kindness by ANYONE.
This is outstanding training, and I think your email campaign is going to do exceptionally well!
A few thoughts:
You routinely ask ChatGPT if it understood the instructions in your prompt. I'm assuming you must have encountered misunderstandings in the past. Maybe I should start doing this, too.
Unlike ChatGPT, Google Bard does access updated info from the internet. Therefore, I use Bard to augment info that is not available with ChatGPT 4. Is Bard available in Australia?
Here's an example query from Bard as it relates to the subject of guest posting in your training:
Me: Give me a list of ten high domain authority guitar websites that allow guest posting. Include their URL and a brief explanation of why they are good prospects.
Bard:
Here is a list of 10 high domain authority guitar websites that allow guest posting:
1. Guitar World: This website has a domain authority of 85 and is one of the most popular guitar websites in the world. It allows guest posting on a variety of topics, including gear reviews, lessons, and interviews. [URL: https://www.guitarworld.com/]
2. Premier Guitar: This website has a domain authority of 82 and is another popular guitar website. It allows guest posting on a variety of topics, including gear reviews, lessons, and interviews. [URL: https://www.premierguitar.com/]
3. MusicRadar: This website has a domain authority of 81 and is a great resource for all things music, including guitars. It allows guest posting on a variety of topics, including gear reviews, lessons, and interviews. [URL: https://www.musicradar.com/]

10. Guitareo: This website has a domain authority of 72 and is a popular online guitar lesson platform. It allows guest posting on a variety of topics, including lessons, tips, and techniques. [URL: https://www.guitareo.com/]
I'm familiar with all ten of these sites, and the info is useful, particularly the first five entries.
Great Work! 👍

What a lot of information you've shared with us! I will have to come back and re-read it to absorb the bits I probably missed on my first eager reading!
It all makes perfect sense but is still somewhat overwhelming - I don't know where people get enough TIME to do everything for their site/s.
Just publishing, adding links, correcting, finding related videos for new articles, keyword research etc seems to take away ALL my time.
However, I've reached the moment where I know I need to stop being indecisive and get busy on a lead magnet in the form of a report, ebook or video course and this resource is going to be awesome for me.
Thank you very much - you've put in a lot of time and attention to detail in this course.
All the best,
And have an Awesome Sunday!
Soraya
