How I Automated Research into a High-Converting Funnel

👋 Hey There,

Let me guess—you’ve got a million things to do and not enough time to get through them all. Researching new topics, putting together polished guides, and growing your mailing list? It’s a lot.

But what if I told you there’s an easy way to automate all of this? Yep, from research to lead generation, you can put the whole process on autopilot with a few AI tools.

Last week, we talked about how you can 10x your research. In today’s newsletter, I’m walking you through three simple steps to help you save time, add value to your audience, and grow your business faster. Let’s get started.

1️⃣ Step 1: Research Topics Your Audience Actually Cares About

🔍 Tools: Perplexity AI & Gemini’s Deep Research Tool

You know that feeling when you’re trying to research a topic, and you fall into a Google black hole of outdated articles, conflicting info, and irrelevant links? Same.

But tools like Perplexity AI and Gemini make research quick and painless. They scan the internet for relevant, up-to-date sources and give you a clean summary of everything you need to know.

Here’s How to Do It:

1️⃣ Open Perplexity AI or Gemini and enter a topic your audience is interested in.

2️⃣ Let the AI dig through multiple sources and compile the most relevant insights.

3️⃣ You'll have comprehensive and complete research in minutes, providing you with the information you need.

2️⃣ Step 2: Turn Your Research into a Polished Guide

📄 Tool: Gamma

Now that you’ve got your research, it’s time to turn it into something worth sharing. But instead of spending hours formatting and designing, let Gamma do the work for you.

This tool transforms your research into a beautiful, professional guide or document that’s ready to share with your audience.

Here’s How to Do It:

1️⃣ Upload your research into Gamma.app 

2️⃣ The AI will automatically format your content into a well-designed, easy-to-read guide.

3️⃣ Make a few tweaks if needed, and you’ve got a polished document ready to go.

3️⃣ Step 3: Turn Your Guide into a Lead Magnet That Drives Results

Here’s where things get exciting. That guide you just created? It’s not just a piece of content—it’s a lead magnet that can help you grow your mailing list and attract new prospects.

You can also repurpose the same guide as an industry report to build credibility and establish yourself as a thought leader in your space. How you position the guide is up to you.

Here’s How I’d Do It:

1️⃣ Offer the guide as a free download in exchange for email sign-ups.

2️⃣ Share it on my website, social media, and through partnerships with other brands.

3️⃣ Watch my mailing list grow while providing real value to your audience.
