How Coaches Can Create a Lead Magnet Ebook Without Writing It Themselves

Why a lead magnet ebook works for coaches

A short, specific ebook shows prospects how you think before they ever book a call. It answers the questions you hear on every discovery call, builds trust while you sleep, and gives people a reason to join your email list.

Pick the right format

Short and specific beats long and general. Two formats work best for coaches:

• Quick start guide: five short chapters that solve one problem, such as "Your first 30 days of better sleep".
• Business playbook: a step-by-step method your clients follow, such as "The discovery call playbook". It shows your process and sets up your paid offer.

Create it without writing it yourself

1. Write one sentence: what the book teaches and who it's for. For example: "A playbook that helps new life coaches turn discovery calls into paying clients."
2. Describe it in 1MinEbook. Choose the format (a quick start guide or business playbook), your reader and your tone. It plans the outline, writes every chapter and designs the cover.
3. Read it and add yourself. Swap in one real client story per chapter (anonymised), your own framework names and the exact phrases you use with clients.
4. End with a bridge to your offer. Add a final page that invites readers to book a call or join your programme.
5. Export a PDF for email delivery and your landing page. Your outline, cover and first chapter are free; downloads come with Pro.

Deliver it and follow up

Put the PDF behind a simple landing page with one headline, three bullet points and an email field. Send it automatically from your email tool, then follow up with three to five emails that tell a client story, answer an objection and invite a call.

Make it unmistakably yours

AI gets the structure and the first draft done; your expertise is what makes people book. Check every claim, use your own examples, and read it once aloud. If it sounds like you on a good day, it's ready.
