Hello

I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I use Payloadz for delivering products - mainly because I haven't got my head around doing this in any other way.

After the person has received the product from Payloadz is there any way of sending them to an opt in box which will sign them up to my Aweber list if they want to?

Alternatively if anyone knows of any good products which explains the whole process of creating download pages etc - I would be grateful. I have a page and can use ftp, but I just dont understand the process of setting up download pages.

Many thanks, Ali

    Ali,

    Why not force them to opt-in prior to buying the product by offer them free access to a newsletter of free gift.

    For getting people to opt-in, why don't you use the 'email method' of subscription. Whenever, somebody pays for your product, capture their email address and use the PHP mail function to send a blank email from their email address to your autoresponders'

      Legally a purchase does not constitute an opt-in. So it's best to have the prospect opt-in before they make their purchase. I used PayLoadz when I first got in this business because I was such a newbie that I didn't know how else to handle the situation. Plus, I had no money and PayLoadz offered a free trial. The problem is that when my eBooks started selling in high numbers, their fees were so expensive that I stopped using them and hired someone to make build me a site with a shopping cart program (you don't need to do this).

      Here is what I would do now:

      1. Use AWebar as the initial opt-in processor.
      2. When the person opts-in, they will recieve an email and when they confirm the email they will go to a page (of your choice). This email can also include a username and password option.
      3. The next page on their site that they see can have a log-in process if you want, plus the thank you message and maybe some other sells. You instruct the buyer to click a link to get to their download.
      4. You build the download page in our php software where you have uploaded your PDF file. The buyer clicks on the page, Acrobat Reader opens, and they have their file.

      With all this said, somewhere you need to get the payment process. That all depends on how it's best to present this depending on your specific product and niche. Also, go to Awebar and they have lots of helps.

      I hope this answers your question or that you find it helpful.

        I'm not sure where you got your info- can you cite a source, since CAN-SPAM does not say that?

          I got that information from Aweber. I had 2000 buyers and they would not allow me to upload them into their system because the names were only purchasers of my eBooks and had not specifically opted-in and said they would accept other information from me . . .

          I would be VERY HAPPY to be corrected on this so I could tell Aweber!

      Thanks for the advice - I will look into these.

      I was wondering more though if there was a way of sending them to an opt in page after they have made a purchase through Payloadz?

        Hi Susan

        Thanks for that. I will see if I can get any more info from Aweber.

        Also I have a domain name and hosting etc. Does anyone know of any product that outlines step by step how to put up the sales page - payment, thank you download pages one after another etc, as this is where I am stuck, on the practical, technical bit?

        Many thanks, Ali

      Because aweber doesn't allow doing it that way.

    You should have a confirmation approval from subscribers for the method I spoke about.

    I am not aware of the redirect system of Payloadz, but I guess they offer their own download page .. CB redirects your buyer to your site, and there you can do anything with the buyer..

    If you want, I can sit up for the next hour or so, and create an ebook for you on how to setup your product pages ..
    I know how to do it with ClickBank.. So, let me know if you need it..
