A great way to come up with ideas for a lead magnet you know people will want to opt in for is to use YouTube.

You know people are already looking for information to solve a particular problem. For example, I’ve used YouTube to find out how to replace the heating element in a tumble dryer.
When searching on YouTube look for videos with the greatest number of views.
Go to YouTube and search for a topic, here i searched on ‘dog training’.
And these are some of the results:

Clicking on @willathertoncaininetraining go to the “videos” tab and select the “Popular” tab to sort by the most views.

Looking at the results we can the most popular videos for this channel are:
