- In this video I'm gonna show you
exactly how to deliver a free download to someone
when they sign up to your email list.
Hey, everyone.
Megan here from meganminns.com
where I help busy entrepreneurs like you
save time running their business.
If you're trying to grow your email list,
then chances are you want to give away
a free download to someone
when they sign up to your email list
but it may not be very clear on the best way to do this.
So I'm gonna show you a step by step tutorial
on how you can do this using Convert Kit.
Convert Kit is the email service provider
that I use, love and recommend.
If you're interested in trying Convert Kit,
I actually have a link to it below this video
that you should be sure to click.
Now let's get started.
First, go to convertkit.com
and either create an account or log in
if you already have an account.
If you do need to create an account,
I actually have a link below this video
where you can go ahead and sign up right away.
Once you're logged in,
this is what Convert Kit will look like
when you're just starting out.
The way I'm going to teach you
to deliver a free download to your audience
is through a form.
So go ahead and click Create Form.
You can do a landing page or a form.
Again, I am going to show you how to do a form.
There are three styles you can choose from.
I'm gonna show you how to use the naked style,
which is my favorite and the one I use most often
because it just blends in to my existing website and brand.
This is a preview of what your form will look like
and I'm gonna go ahead
and change the button to match my brand.
Perfect.
Let's go ahead and save.
Go to Settings.
This is what the back end of a Convert Kit form looks like.
You can name it
and adjust a bunch of different settings
so be sure to read through this
and if you're just getting started with Convert Kit,
there is a great knowledge base that Convert Kit has
that will walk you through all the basics.
So I will link to that below this video as well.
But what I want to focus on
is showing you how to deliver your free download.
So we're gonna go to incentive email.
And the incentive email is a confirmation email
that Convert Kit will send out when someone subscribes.
Be sure to also customize the subject line and the message
and you can also customize what the button says
to match whatever your incentive is.
So be sure to take a few minutes
to make sure that looks the way you want
and then we're going to click Incentive Download
as what happens after they confirm their subscription.
And this is where you're gonna upload your free download.
So whether it's a ebook, worksheet, workbook
or anything like that.
Go ahead and click Upload File,
find the file on your computer.
You'll see it uploads really quickly
and save.
So there we go.
Now whenever someone opts in to your form,
they will get this confirmation email
straight to their inbox
and when they click this button
it will not only confirm their subscription
to your email list
but it will also give them this free download.
And if you click this link,
you can always test and make sure it works
and it just downloaded to my computer
so now I know that that free download does work
and uploaded correctly.
And there you go.
It's that simple and easy.
You now have a free download
getting delivered to your audience
once they opt-in and confirm their subscription
using Convert Kit.
Now you know how to deliver a free download
using Convert Kit.
