What is the Challenge Product?
Think of a Challenge as a way to help your audience progress towards a specific goal, within a defined time window that you set for them.
If you have undergone a transformation yourself that you believe your audience would benefit from, and you can break the process down into a set of clear, actionable steps, then you’re ready to create a Challenge on The Leap!
You’ve already inspired your audience by showing them that a transformation is possible - now it’s time to motivate them by breaking big goals down into a set of manageable daily/weekly steps, and giving them a timeline to work within.
Why should I create a Challenge Product?
Helping your audience achieve a real-life transformation is one of the most powerful and valuable things you can do as a creator!
What’s a good example of a Challenge Product?
Let’s say your niche is personal finance for 20-somethings. You might create a challenge called Get your financial sh*t together in 5 weeks, which could include the following stages:
Week 1: Identify your money goals and values
Week 2: Start tracking your spend
Week 3: Create an emergency fund
Week 4: Open a high-yield savings account
Week 5: Pick an investment strategy and platform

Creating your Challenge Product
Start in your Leap Account by selecting Products from the left menu, then click the
+ Add product button in the top right of the Products Page.
Find Challenge within the Product list, then click Build Options.
Next, you may select whether you want to build your Challenge with AI, or create it from scratch.
In this example, we’ll be generating content with AI, and selecting + Generate with AI.
To create a Challenge from scratch, select + Add instead.
Next, enter some information about your Challenge topic to help generate some amazing content.
Fill in the topic of your expertise, and be as specific as you'd like! When you’re ready, click Next.
TIP: Click Skip, I don’t need any help at any time to begin creating your Challenge from scratch.
In the next section, you’ll be asked to select the topic for your Challenge.
If you don’t see an AI generated topic that’s exactly what you need, select the + Show me more option to generate more AI suggestions.
Or, use the Enter your own option to add the specific topic you’d like to teach in this Challenge.
When you’re ready, click the yellow Let’s do it! button.
Let your AI generator work for a few moments, and your Challenge will generate beautifully and auto-magically!
You’ll see a selection of 16 cards with auto-filled images and content, with spaces to upload video content you create.
