Hey Spark Tank fam! With AI tools, creating an interactive lead magnet is easier than it’s ever been. You still have to do the work, but if you have the vision, you can definitely make it real! This week was a major win for me because I finally finished v1 of my interactive lead magnet! If you’re interested, you can check it out here: https://promptsandplanners.com/quiz Here’s a prompt to start the process of building your next lead magnet: Act as an AI Product Strategist. Based on my business model [Insert Business] and target audience [Insert Audience], suggest 3 creative, interactive web-app concepts that I can build. Think of things like a custom generator, a calculator, or an interactive prompt-builder that gives my audience an immediate, actionable 'quick win' in exchange for their email. Next, use a tool to make it real. Lovable is a very easy tool to use and if you use it now through the end of April, you get 2x the daily credits! (Yes, even on the free plan which I still have!) For my lead magnet, I used Claude for the quiz, Lovable for the look, and Automate Your Hustle as my hosting, fulfillment, and CRM tool. When you get an idea you love, share it with us in the comments and let us know which tools you use to build it.
