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:

  1. You can write the report yourself using the outline for reference
  2. 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.
We’re halfway there! Only 2 steps left…

Howzit Phil,
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

Hey Phil,

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.

Hi, Trish

My mother raised me to be polite and respectful to everyone, but I don’t know if that courtesy extends to AI-driven chat bots. Lol

Always great chatting with you, though! 😎

I don't always, but often do. Just habit, I guess.

Well, Frank, being polite to ChatGPT also teaches it whether only a select few humans or most humans know about common courtesy... so that is my big reason for being polite to even the most helpful bot I've even had the luxury to use.

Just my take on this though... ;-)

Also, you never know, the coders might make it give more useful answers to those who ask politely.

It's just a good habit and makes it feel more like a conversation with a friend.

Wow, Phil

That would be behavior modification on the grandest scale. Can you imagine what would happen if someone maliciously coded an AI generative model to do something like that in reverse? 😎

Hi, Phil

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/]

4. Guitar Tricks: This website has a domain authority of 78 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.guitartricks.com/]

5. Fender Play: This website has a domain authority of 77 and is another popular online guitar lesson platform. It allows guest posting on a variety of topics, including lessons, tips, and techniques. [URL: https://www.fender.com/play/]

6. JustinGuitar: This website has a domain authority of 76 and is a free online guitar lesson platform. It allows guest posting on a variety of topics, including lessons, tips, and techniques. [URL: https://www.justinguitar.com/]

7. TrueFire: This website has a domain authority of 75 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.truefire.com/]

8. Guitar Jamz: This website has a domain authority of 74 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.guitarjamz.com/]

9. JamPlay: This website has a domain authority of 73 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.jamplay.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! 👍

Hi Frank,

Thank you for the adding your findings here on Bard.

I'm curious where it is pulling its data on domain authority from, as I didn't think Google assigns any, at least publicly.

Regards,

Jason

Hi, Jason

My guess is that Google has it’s own ranking system, which may be based on widely accepted standards, such as the Moz DA or the Ahrefs DR (which is based in backlinks).

Thanks so much for your extensive and thoughtful comment, Frank.

Warming up ChatGPT with "do you understand?" sometimes leads to a better, clearer result. Not really necessary though.

Yes, we have had Bard right from the start and I'll include it in future training. I felt there was already enough in this training and didn't want to over-complicate it.

Google definitely assigns DA, Jane but doesn't publish it for all sites. Most are zero, of course.
Reply
phil1944 Premium
I'm pretty sure Google assigns its own DA, just doesn't always publish it.

You’re welcome, Phil

Your approach definitely makes sense,

OpenAI and Bard each have their strengths and weaknesses, but work great together.

Have you had a chance to play with Google’s Beta AI search engine integration? It’s pretty cool.

Wow Phil,

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

The more you do, the more it becomes a habit you don't have to think about and so gets done so much faster.

A lead magnet that you can drive traffic to a great asset.
