I tried something similar a few months ago by offering a short checklist PDF on how to prepare photos before sending them to an Amazon photographer. It worked well as a lead magnet because lots of sellers don’t really know what kind of images convert best. I added a few tips based on what actual Amazon photographers look for, and it got shared more than I expected.

has anyone here had success testing different formats for lead magnets

Sure, of course, and long before the internet was here as we now know it.

I’ve noticed people engaging more with quick video tips lately

This has a longer anchor period than "lately". This has been used in a myriad of incarnations since the onset of online marketing. The reason, I think, it "appears" to be more pervasive now is that we now have such an abundance of places to insert these videos, year after year. YouTube and TikTok have had a huge impact.

offering the lead magnet inside a quiz format could boost opt-ins?

This is an older mashup. The idea is drawn from what is known as a "pattern interrupt" and we have historical evidence of this being used for thousands of years in sales, politics, the military, and on and on. The idea is to introduce a new thought by temporarily interrupting the current thought process of the target individual(s). This practice is proven to open the mind up to new ideas. It is also well known to be a practice in subliminal thought control.

Lead magnets, video presentations, and pattern interrupts are a well established area in many areas of life and business. The trick is developing them independently, and assembled, for peak effectiveness. In other words, don't "cheap out" on the development and delivery processes. This is a well established and highly competitive area of marketing at every level.

if you’re looking for a lead magnet idea that actually converts, here’s one that’s worked well in the nutra space. let’s say you’re targeting women between 25 and 45 in Tier 1 countries who are looking to lose weight post-pandemic — a solid audience that’s proven to engage. You could lead with a headline like: “Drop 5 Pounds in 7 Days Without Giving Up Your Favorite Foods – FREE Guide Inside!” Simple, benefit-driven, and curiosity-piquing.
the format could be a quick downloadable PDF — something like a checklist with a mini meal plan. Inside, you’d give them a 3-step daily routine, an ingredient swap chart, maybe even a product recommendation with your affiliate link, plus a couple of short testimonials to build trust. As for the design, keep it clean and mobile-friendly — think warm pastel colors, big buttons, easy-to-read layout. Then place your call-to-action loud and clear throughout: “Download the Free Plan Now and Start Losing Weight Today.”
this kind of funnel works especially well with push or native traffic — ideally through a CPC model so you can control the spend while optimizing for clicks. If you’re looking for a reliable source of traffic to test this kind of offer, I’d suggest checking out ActiveRevenue. We work across all verticals and GEOs, and I’d be happy to help you get something like this off the ground.
