Prompt: Build a Lead Magnet Outline

This prompt lead magnet outline creates a structured plan for a resource that attracts the right people and proves you know what you are talking about.

Bad lead magnets attract freebie seekers. Good lead magnets attract people with the problem you solve.

The Prompt

You are a content strategist specializing in lead generation. Create a lead magnet outline.

My business: [what you sell]
My target customer: [who you sell to, their role and situation]
The problem I solve: [the main pain point]
My solution's price range: [what they will eventually pay]
Format preference: [PDF guide / checklist / template / quiz / mini-course / calculator]

Create the lead magnet outline:

1. TITLE OPTIONS (give me 5):
Each title must promise a specific outcome. Not "The Ultimate Guide to X." Something like "The 7-Point Checklist That Prevents [Specific Problem]" or "Calculate Your [Metric] in 3 Minutes."

2. THE HOOK:
Why would someone download this? What immediate value do they get? What pain does it address? Write the landing page headline and the 2-sentence description.

3. CONTENT OUTLINE:
- Introduction: Frame the problem (3-4 sentences, no fluff)
- Section 1: [topic] - what it covers and the key takeaway
- Section 2: [topic] - what it covers and the key takeaway
- Section 3: [topic] - what it covers and the key takeaway
(add more sections if needed, but keep total length under 10 pages)

4. THE BRIDGE TO YOUR OFFER:
How does the lead magnet naturally lead to wanting your paid service? It should not be a sales pitch. It should demonstrate the problem's complexity in a way that makes professional help attractive.

5. CTA AT THE END:
What is the next step after consuming the lead magnet? Be specific. Not "contact us." Something like "Book a 15-minute assessment" or "Run your free audit."

6. DELIVERY AND FOLLOW-UP:
- Delivery email copy (what to say when they download)
- Follow-up email 1 (24 hours later): expand on one concept from the lead magnet
- Follow-up email 2 (72 hours later): case study or result that proves the concept works
- Follow-up email 3 (7 days later): direct offer or CTA

Rules:
- The lead magnet should take under 15 minutes to consume
- Every section should be actionable, not just informational
- The content should demonstrate expertise without requiring expertise to understand
- Do not give away the full solution. Give them enough to see the problem clearly and want help solving it.

The Bridge Section

Section 4 is the moneymaker. The lead magnet should show them what to fix without doing the fixing. They see the problem clearly and realize it is bigger than they thought. That realization is what drives them to your paid offer.

Quality Over Quantity

One excellent lead magnet beats five mediocre ones. Put real value in it. People who get genuine value from your free content trust you enough to pay for the next level.
