🧲 lead magnet of the week

the GPT-5.2 AI Consultant by @joelbastasbergstrom

761 reactions • 2,405 comments • 17 reposts • keyword: "AI"

the post:

joel opened with: "NEVER hire an AI consultant again…"

a bold claim. but he backed it up with specifics.

the offer: a custom GPT trained on 650+ n8n automations that can audit workflows, identify automation opportunities, build implementation roadmaps, and generate plug-and-play blueprints.

why it worked:

→ money hook: "$120,000/y automation team" in the first line. instant attention.

→ specificity over promises: he listed 11 things the GPT can do. not vague promises, specific capabilities. "analyzes bottlenecks", "generates API connection workflows", "creates prompt libraries."

→ credibility through volume: "650+ n8n automations" signals depth, not theory.

→ visual proof: the screenshot shows the actual GPT interface. you can see it's real before you even comment.

→ timing: GPT-5.2 literally just dropped. riding the wave of curiosity.

joel positioned himself as the guy who already did the hard work. you just comment and get access.

📚 book of the week

The Pirate Organization by Rodolphe Durand & Jean-Philippe Vergne

most reviewers get this book wrong.

it’s not about rebellion.
it’s not about chaos.
and it’s definitely not about “move fast and break things.”

the core idea is sharper than that:

pirates succeed when new economic spaces open and institutions are too slow to adapt.

it's a book about the fringes of capitalism.

it explains that historically:

• when new trade routes appeared, pirates moved first
• when radio emerged, pirate stations broke broadcasting monopolies
• when the internet reshaped distribution, cyber pirates rewired media economics (remember limewire?)

pirates don’t fight the system head-on.
they exploit the gaps the system can’t see yet.

why joel’s post fits

joel didn’t invent a new market.
he acted faster than existing ones could respond.

• GPT-5.2 drops
• consultants are still thinking about pricing
• joel ships something concrete, useful, and free
• attention flows immediately

this is pirate capitalism in practice:

• use existing infrastructure
• extract value at the moment of change
• build reputation before revenue
• move before the rules solidify

the takeaway for creators

the best lead magnets don’t come from long ideation sessions.
they come from being early and being useful.

when new tools appear, there’s a really short window where speed beats perfection, and distribution beats monetization.

that’s where all attention lives. in the information arbitrage.

miss the window, and you’re competing head-to-head on features.
hit it, and the market comes to you.

🛠️ tool of the week

1️⃣ free → ClubAI Chatbot (now with n8n workflows!)

speaking of automation...

you can now generate full n8n workflow JSONs directly from a conversation.

what ClubAI does...

→ generate lead magnet ideas based on your ICP

→ create full post drafts (hook, value prop, CTA)

→ build the actual magnet (templates, guides, checklists)

→ now: generate n8n workflow JSONs ready to import!

example prompts:

→ "build a workflow that sends a slack notification when my post gets 50 comments" (with LeadShark Webhooks) → "create a workflow that syncs new leads to google sheets" → "build a lead magnet (pages) to Kit connection with personalized welcome email sequence"

just describe what you want, and ClubAI generates the n8n workflow (yes, the json)!

👉 try it: leadmagnet.club/club (100% free for club members)

2️⃣ for leadshark users → Schedule & Pre-Automate Posts

write & schedule all your posts without getting distracted by linkedin.

the Schedule Post feature lets you draft, format, and schedule your lead magnet posts directly from leadshark. no need to open linkedin and get lost in the feed.

what you can do:

→ write your post with formatting options (arrows, bullets, etc.) → add any attachments (images, videos, PDFs, GIFs) → add a first comment (great for links or extra context) → pre-automate the post (set up your automation before it goes live) → preview how it looks on desktop AND mobile → schedule for the perfect time!

write all at once, automate, schedule, done!

💬 note from the founder

i’ve seen this pattern quite a few times..

first, getting attention is the hard part. then you go viral. almost immediately, the problem changes.

now there are more replies than you can handle. more DMs to be sent than time in the day.

what used to feel like momentum starts to feel heavy.. (insert "suffering from success" meme here)

LeadShark was built to absorb that friction:

to turn success into something calm and repeatable instead of overwhelming.

but the same thing happens to LeadShark too.

as it grows, there is always pressure to add more. scale faster. serve everyone (agencies w/ lots of seats). become bigger.

we’re deliberately choosing something else.

LeadShark isn’t trying to become a navy.

it’s meant to stay small, sharp, and intentional.

a craft SaaS for people who create, not an industrial DM sequencer.

i’d rather build more automated systems than hire more people. keep things as simple as possible rather than pile on features.

and i’d rather help a smaller group of high-performing creators really well than capture the whole market.

some limits are constraints. others are intentional design decisions.

this is one of them.

steady on, 🏴‍☠️
