Hi,

Actually this is not about Opt in form I already made it.
I have another question: Where should I upload my PDF file to get a link to send it to my subscribers to down load product.
It should be free

    Create a downloads directory on your server. Upload your file (zip it first) to your server and add a link to the file in the email, and on the thank you page, that goes out to the subscriber.

    that should do it

      hmmm... it should work...

      1 - Create a folder called downloads (or whatever name like sf9405, just so it looks scary and people will avoid to guess).

      2 - Transfer your download file in this directory.

      3 - The link of the file would then be
      Code:
      www.yoursite.com/thedownloaddirectory/yourfile.zip
      4 - To download the product, you can just paste this link on a webpage, your thank you page maybe, or the last page of your funnel. Or as jensrsa said, on your email message.

      I mean it should work. I don't get you saying "still doesn't work". What do you mean? []

        I did exactly like you sad but it doesnt work.
        Maybe this directory should be created in special location.
        I have wordpress on this hosting account.

          hmm... shouldn't matter I think.
          If you have wordpress installed on www.yourawesomesite.com
          then creating a folder accessible via www.yourawesomesite.com/folder should work.

          But, anyway, try to create another folder in other locations then maybe you'll discover some stuff going on in your wp directory.

                that's weird. It should work.

                (I mean why wouldn't it work?)

                Wait, when you say "it doesn't work" what do you exactly mean?
                You can't access the page? The transfer shows an error? The page doesn't display correctly?

                Try putting it in a zip file, then upload it on
                Code:
                http://www.onlinebusinessanalyzer.com
                , meaning you don't create a folder.

                But what exactly did you do? and what do you exactly mean it doesn't work?

                    Well... hmm..
                    It shows the error page on your wordpress...

                    Maybe its the capitalization?
                    Like you enterered www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.zip, but it really should be www.yourdomain.com/YourFilE.zip
                    (also, you didn't miss the .zip, right?)

                    Are you using an FTP program? Did you check if it really is there?

                    anybody else care to solve the mystery?

                      so, if there's an error page from WP, look at .htaccess files, directory/folder permissions, etc.

                      As John suggested earlier, try just uploading it directly into the www/public_html directory, without creating a directory to put it in.

                      I found a solution.

                      This is "zapseo" post

                      Not sure of the question, Sylvia.

                      If you have your product, myproduct.zip

                      You go into ftp and upload it to an appropriate directory --

                      e.g., public_html/thanks/myproduct.zip

                      then you would just give people the link:

                      http://www.example.com/thanks/myproduct.zip

                      where "example.com" would be replaced with the name of your domain.

                      HTH,

                      Judy

                      edited to add:
                      the above link could be put into an email or onto a webpage

                      I was entering public_html/ but it should be without it.

                      Anyway thanks lads

                      Hmmm....I think you should just print it out and mail it to them.

                      Seriously, yourdomain.com/downloads/yourfile.zip should work.
