The Brief

The Ones Getting Traction Built Something

Watching the Beyond the PDF contributors this month, the ones getting sign-ups all skipped the PDF. They stopped handing people a file to download and built something a person actually uses, a quiz that sorts you, a GPT that solves one thing, a calculator that hands you an answer. The format did the work, and the person on the other end walked away with a real answer instead of one more thing to read later.

If your lead magnet isn't converting the way you think it should, or the way it used to, this is the week to build the modern version. Here's where to start.

 

Don't Miss This

Build Your Own Lead Magnet in a Week

By July 31, you can have a modern lead magnet built and live.

Beyond the PDF is my free event running through the end of the month. Browse more than two dozen AI-powered lead magnets from real creators, see the exact formats and the results they got, then pick the one that fits you.

During the free Get It Done Week, July 27 to 31, you build your own one step a day. You end the month with something live instead of another idea on your list.

Speaker Spotlight

Elizabeth Neumann

Elizabeth is one of the Beyond the PDF contributors, and she got the result I keep telling people about. She built a custom GPT called Find Your Hidden Automations. It brought in 607 subscribers in 90 days at an 80% opt-in rate, the best opt-in number in the whole event.

That's the whole point right there. A tool people use beats a file they download.

See you inside,
Destini

P.S. What matters most to me with these summits is that our speakers walk away glad they said yes. Promoting our speakers is a core value here, so we put real work into getting your session in front of people, not just adding your name to a page. I want every single speaker to finish and say it was worth their time. We review applications almost daily and book early, so the best slots go to the people who raise their hand first.
