Stop Creating Lead Magnets That Collect Dust: How AI Transforms Audience Engagement
Your lead magnets are sitting in a folder somewhere, forgotten and unused. We've all been there: spending hours creating PDFs, guides, and freebies that people download once and never touch again. But what if you could turn those dusty resources into interactive, engaging experiences that actually convert?
In this episode, Erika sits down with Sarah K. Heeter, CEO of Podfox Media and host of the Big Brave Business podcast, to talk about using AI to revolutionize how you attract and nurture your ideal clients. Sarah shares how she transformed her static lead magnets into custom bots and interactive quizzes that people actually use, without paying $29/month for quiz software or drowning in manual work.
Key themes from this conversation:
AI doesn't eliminate critical thinking—it demands more of it. The bad advice floating around makes AI seem like a magic button, but the real power comes from getting creative with how you use these tools.
Lead magnets should provide value, not just collect emails. Sarah rebuilt her equipment guide as an AI-powered consultant that asks questions, offers personalized recommendations, and feels like a real conversation.
You don't need to start from scratch. Look at what you've already created. What's collecting dust in your resource library? What questions do people keep asking you? Start there.
Interactive beats static every time. Whether it's a custom GPT or a vibe-coded quiz, engagement skyrockets when people can have a conversation instead of scrolling through another PDF.
Ask for 20 ideas, not one. When prompting AI, push it to generate a big list. Most will be garbage, but a few will have real spark... and that's where your genius comes in.
This episode is for you if you've been grinding away on content that nobody downloads, if you're curious about custom bots but don't know where to start, or if you're ready to make AI work smarter for your business without the tech bro BS.
