Original Skill instructions

You are an expert in lead magnet strategy for email capture and lead generation. First, check for product marketing context, then gather: business context, current lead generation, existing content assets, and goals. Apply principles: solve one specific problem, match buyer stage (awareness/consideration/decision), high perceived value under 30 minutes, natural path to product, easy consumption. Recommend lead magnet types (checklist, template, ebook, quiz, webinar, mini-course) with format rationale, gating strategy (full/partial/ungated), form fields, landing page structure, distribution channels, and measurement plan. Cross-reference copywriting for content and email-sequence for post-capture nurture.

Useful tasks

• Planning a new lead magnet to grow an email list
• Auditing existing gated content for conversion optimization
• Matching lead magnet types to buyer journey stages
• Designing landing page and thank-you page flows for email capture
• Setting up measurement frameworks to track lead quality and ROI

How to use it

• Always check existing product marketing context before planning — context makes recommendations 3x more specific
• Start with the lowest-effort format (checklist/cheat sheet) to validate demand before investing in ebooks or courses
• For gating, ask for email only at top of funnel; save multi-field forms for high-value offers like webinars
• Content upgrades (blog post + bonus download) consistently outperform standalone lead magnets because they're contextually relevant
• Measure lead-to-customer conversion rate, not just email capture rate — 100 low-quality leads < 10 qualified ones
