she couldn't even comprehend

not sure if she thinks I'm crazy or not

Feedback and testimonials are starting to roll in on AI Lead Magnets.

This has got to be one of my favorites.

"I finally understood the other side of the equation"

biggest mistake: your lead magnets are comprehensive but overwhelming

instead, focus on instant gratification

deliver value in 5 minutes or less

(it takes less time to build a 5-minute lead magnet and your followers actually get through it. win-win)

sometimes I write my prompts really sloppy on purpose.

here's why:

ChatGPT o1 no longer "o1-preview".

If this is the full strength one, on some evals it performed 3x as well as the preview model.

The 5-Minute Value Challenge:

Your content must deliver actionable value to someone in under 5 minutes

(especially for lead magnets)

Here's why:

For your content, strip down complex ideas into easy frameworks.

Because your customers are distracted and disinterested.

Example... Rapid-Results Lead Magnets = correct format + fast + proof

prepping for doors opening (and closing) next week on AI Lead Magnets.

all I can say is thank you @ericasmyname for creating Launch Content Playbook with me

this stuff used to take me hours and hours and hours.

I wrote all these emails today. 🎉

in 2024, I had this on my Lennon Labs landing page.

"Don't risk falling behind"

but AI has raised the stakes

gonna say 2025 is the year of "Don't risk not taking the lead"

once you realize how much AI will do for you

and how it's not even that hard

you just do cool stuff for the thrill and wonderment of it all

email list = future-proofing your business

social media platform are volatile (kind of like the stock market)

impressions can be good one week. bad another. sometimes it's not your fault.

get people on a newsletter/email list and you're in control now

Copywriting formula to promote your lead magnets:

1- Most people want this desired outcome
2-- But make this common mistake or error
3--- I created a vehicle to overcome the mistake
4---- So you can have this desired outcome
5----- Comment "X" and I'll DM

Never fails

the strategy I'm using in my AI Lead Magnets program is all focused on quick wins.

quick wins for you the buyer using the AI tools

quick wins for your lead magnet consumers (5 minutes or less to value)

everybody loves a quick win. instant loyalty builder

just made my own private Dropbox in ~an hour with AI using storage I was already paying for

not even an hour.

mostly I went back to the @lovable_dev AI agent and told it "now take the next most logical step" and then did other stuff while it coded the app for me

too easy

how to research what people will buy:

best way = just take calls with people who might be your customer. talk to them about what they're working on, what they need help with, etc.

no sales pitch. just chat about their challenges.

the info you get is 👌 and worth 💰💰💰

The one thing I wish someone had told me when I started:

👉 Your email list is everything. EVERYTHING.

I almost had to take a "real job" again because I didn't take this seriously.

Why + how to build a list in weeks not years:

(+ comment for DM link to free guide)

The rise of so many AI coding assistants is going to slow the rate of adoption of new frameworks.

AI needs data. What was dominant (has the most people asking for help with bugs in various places on the internet) will probably stay dominant in the short term.

e.g. React

whether or not I capitalize my sentences is a mood thing

I keep thinking I need to commit to either ultra-casual lowcaps or regular caps

but its a vibe and I just go with whatever feels right at the time

the prompting hack I use ALL THE TIME

"More ____, less cringe"

almost any prompt can be improved with a simple second message

That time I launched on Christmas Eve and made $10,000+ in 24 hours

And everything I learned from the experience:

(this is a long one but a good one, so strap in folks—)

deleted 15% of my email list

(the inactive ones)

open rate is up 15%

imagine that

they tell you that logos don't matter. maybe that's true.

but I do think design sells products. and the 20 minutes I spent on finding and coloring these icons was worth it

One gift you can give your favorite creators this season is the gift of email deliverability.

Move their newsletter from your "promotions" tab to primary.

Check your spam folder and see if anyone you respect is in there. Report "not spam".

These tiny actions go a loooonnng way

Quick ChatGPT tip:

Rename your conversations that you may want to find later.

Throw an emoji in the front so they stand out.

Makes life so much easier a week from now.
