Remedial question- I'm blond, so don't laugh

Have 2 'Thank You' pages

eg

1. suppose paying by Paypal 'thank you' redirect page asks them to enter name & email for security (data captured)

2. 2nd thank you asking them to check email & confirm

3 email checked & confirmed (autoresponder added)

4. autoresponder redirects to download

The process actually looks & sounds longer than it actually is

There's probably an easier way but this way I can also set it up in my goal tracking funnel in analytics

Thanks for the responses. Jeff, I do have Aweber attached to DLG, but I think that is where I am getting a bit lost. DLG told me they still have to confirm, but I am trying to find the right "place" to ask them to confirm if that makes sense.

So, let's say they click to buy, make payment and then they have their product download. What is in it for them to also confirm? Upgrades? I put free updates, but that did not really seem to work very well....

here are some options you can test to see what works best

1) your thank you page can say please check your email, click on confirmation link to receive the download - while some customers may not like this in the IM niche but might work for other niches

2) even though its only a single product, you can make the product delivery via a membership area. this way on your thank you page you can ask them to confirm email to receive the pass code for the member area to download the product.

3) create a killer bonus report that goes hand in hand with the main product and ask them to opt-in to your list to get the bonus report. Emphasize that the only way to get the bonus report is by opt-in.

You should be able to pull the email address to aweber when they make the purchase at DL Guard. I have not set this up yet but there is an option called 'email parser' inside your aweber account and as far as I understand you just ask DL guard or set a setting somwhere on DL guard that sends an email confirming the purchase to your aweber list

here are the instructions from awebers site

How Do I Have My Third Party Service Send Notification Emails to My AWeber List?




Once you've turned on an email parser in your account, you have completed the only step that needs to take place in your AWeber control panel in order to have subscribers automatically added to that list.
However, since email parsers work by extracting information like name and email from an email sent by another, non-AWeber service, that service needs to be setup to send that email to AWeber.
Change Your Email Settings with Your Third Party Service


Let's say you're using a shopping cart or payment processor service that sends you an email whenever a purchase is processed. In your account with that service, there should be a setting allowing you to either change which (or add another) email address these messages are sent to.
Find that setting, and add your lists' email address
If you have trouble finding these settings, search your service's documentation for information on your "notification email" or "email settings".
Once you've turned on your email parser and completed this step, your email parser setup is complete.
