Greg Isenberg’s lead magnet strategy is GENIUS. And yet, 99% of founders & creators are sleeping on it:

Most creators use the same generic lead magnet for every piece of content they publish.

Greg Isenberg does the opposite.

If you go to Greg’s YouTube channel and start paying attention to the CTAs he uses in his video descriptions, you’ll notice something very interesting:

Most of his lead magnets are extremely relevant to the topic of the video.

For example, he recently published a video breaking down Dan Koe’s content creation system.

And guess what the CTA is?

A guide on how to replicate Dan’s AI content engine for yourself.

And no, this isn’t an isolated thing - it’s exactly what he does with most of his videos.

Now, this might not sound like a big deal but it kinda is.

Because by maximizing the level of congruence between your content and the lead magnet you promote at the end of your content, you can also maximize:

• The number of people who click on the CTA in the first place • The number of people who actually opt-in • And ultimately your email list growth

You’re getting more subscribers and more juice out of every piece of content you create.

Now, I know what you’re thinking…

“Daniel, this makes sense but this sounds like a lot of work!”

And that’s a fair concern.

But I’m sure that at this point, Greg & his team have:

• Found ways to streamline this with AI • Created templates they can plug and play • And built a whole system around this strategy

If I had a YouTube channel or a podcast, I would definitely be doing this for myself.

Now, you can do something very similar for LinkedIn as well.

When I can, I try to plug a CTA for a lead magnet that’s as relevant as possible to the topic of the post.

But I normally use existing lead magnets rather than creating a dedicated lead magnet for each piece of content.

I think that’s okay because Greg’s strategy makes more sense when you’re creating evergreen long-form content that takes a lot of effort - like a YouTube video or a podcast episode.

It might not make sense for a one-off LinkedIn post.

That said, I’m actually interested in testing this more intentionally for my own content.

And if I do, I’ll share what I learn.

Hope this is helpful!

PS - I put together a prompt to help me brainstorm hyper relevant lead magnets for specific pieces of content.
