Your Step-by-Step Lead Magnet Plan
With one simple form and one dynamic report link, you can start generating leads from your website, emails, or social media—no tech team required.
This guide walks you through everything step-by-step, so you can set up a gated Market Activity Report that automatically delivers fresh, local insights in exchange for contact info.
Whether you’re an experienced agent or just starting out with lead capture, this is your playbook.
Why This Strategy Works (Now More Than Ever)
This resource supports the RPR webinar: Market Activity Report for Lead Capture: A Step-by-Step Strategy.
It’s also inspired by the success of agents like Nicole Nicolay—who uses RPR’s dynamic reports to capture warm leads directly from her open house visitors and email audience. Read Nicole’s story here.
RPR’s new Next Gen Reports, including the Market Activity Template, now include dynamic links—which means you can create one report, share a single link, and let the system do the updating.
These links refresh every 48 hours, so your leads always see the most current data. No need to regenerate or resend reports manually. That’s why now is the perfect time to build a gated lead capture system around RPR—one that runs in the background while you stay focused on your business.
Whether you’re capturing leads on social, your website, or email, this strategy turns a frequently asked question—”How’s the market?”—into a scalable lead-generation machine.
Easy Ways to Use Dynamic Links
If you’re just getting started, here are a few simple ways to use RPR’s dynamic report links:
- Email Signature: Add a line like “Click here to see the latest [City] market stats” with your report link.
- Social Media Bio or Linktree: Drop the link into your Instagram or Facebook profile.
- Monthly Email Blast: Send one email each month to your farm area with the same link—no updates needed.
- QR Code on Postcards: Use a QR code that links to your report so curious homeowners can scan and view.
As you grow more confident, you can embed RPR Reports into gated landing pages or automated lead funnels.
Start simple. Build as you go.

Step 1: Check Your Existing Tools
Before choosing a form tool, talk to your website provider or tech specialist. You might already have a built-in solution for lead capture!
Here’s what to say:
I’d like to gate a real estate report behind a lead capture form. When someone fills it out with their name, email, and ZIP code, they’ll get instant access to a Market Activity Report showing local housing trends.
I already have the dynamic RPR Market Activity report link ready to go—it updates automatically every 48 hours, so the content always stays fresh.
Does our website platform or CRM offer a feature to do this? Something that can:
• Show a form
• Deliver a link on the thank-you page or via email
• Optionally send a follow-up email later?
This approach helps you make the most of your existing tech and avoid reinventing the wheel.
If You Don’t Have a Built-in Tool
If your current platform can’t support it directly, ask for help setting up an external form solution like JotForm, Typeform, or Gravity Forms.
Then say this:
If we can’t do it natively, I’m using a tool like JotForm to collect leads and deliver that same RPR report link. I’d love help with:
• Embedding or linking to the form
• Adding a thank-you message with the dynamic report link
• Optionally setting up a follow-up emailLet me know what you need from me to make it happen!
Step 2: Choose Your Path
What this is: You’re picking your starting point—aka, the tool that makes the most sense for how you like to work.
You Are… | Use This Tool | Setup Time | What You Get |
---|---|---|---|
Brand-new to this | JotForm | 15 min | Simple form + thank-you screen with RPR link |
Want it to look sharp | Typeform | 20 min | Modern design + logic options |
WordPress savvy | Gravity Forms | 30 min | Full control, styling, and automation |
Email-focused | ConvertKit | 20 min | Email opt-in + automatic report delivery |
Not sure? Start with JotForm. It’s easy, and we’ll walk you through it step-by-step.
Step 3: Build Your Form
Now it’s time to set up your lead capture form—the tool that collects names, emails, and areas of interest before delivering your Market Activity Report.
You have two easy options:
- Want a guided, step-by-step path? Start with our JotForm template. It’s the fastest way to launch, and we’ll walk you through it.
- Prefer to explore on your own? We’ve also gathered quick-start videos for other popular tools like Typeform, Gravity Forms, and ConvertKit.
Choose what fits your style best—and either way, you’ll be just a few clicks away from capturing your first lead.
