Free tool that solves a real problem. Think HubSpot's Website Grader.

Free tools as well.

My take is that we are moving towards more personalized marketing experiences rather than pushing everything to everyone.

We are working on a platform, solarplexus.ai, to tailor your marketing and communicaiton to different target groups and personas. We will launch it here on Product Hunt next week. Please check it out.

One of the best lead magnets I put together was a free eBook on common pitfalls in my industry. It really took off because it tackled issues that my audience was struggling with, so it felt super relevant to them. I kept track of how many downloads it got and checked my conversion rates to see how many people actually signed up afterward. What surprised me was how it also boosted my social media following; people started sharing it, which drove more traffic my way.

Interesting, I'm working on something similar! My startup is building an AI-powered platform to personalize lead magnets and website content for each visitor. We use GPT-4 to dynamically generate hyper-relevant ebooks, checklists, and other resources based on the visitor's persona and intent signals. Seeing 30-40% better conversion rates in early tests. Would love to compare notes and maybe partner up - our tech could be a great fit for your platform! Let's connect.
