Setting up a thank you page...

jaypick · 06-19-2009, 09:40 PM

How do I set up a thank you page if I am offering a free ebook for signing up to my newsletter. Do I have to use a html editor? I tried using notepad but the link wasnt clickable. The other thing I tried to do is ad a page to my blog and made it private and used that as my redirect link. The only thing is you see all the stuff on the side bar including the opt-in. Does that look unprofessional? I thought it looked ok, but what are my other options?

A wysiwyg html editor is much easier to use than notepad, and download pages are super easy to create.

As it's a free report you don't need to worry about protecting it, as the more people who find and read a report embedded with your affiliate links the better.

Yes you have to use a HTML editor. I use dreamweaver, but there are lots of free ones you can use.

You do not need to use an html editor if you save your notepad files as .html and not .txt

User this in your form:
<input type="hidden" name="reply" value="/reply.html">

value="/reply.html" = the name of the "thank you page"
that appears after the visitor to your page has clicked
the "send/transmit" button on your form.

If you save "reply.html" in a sub folder/directory in your site,
then this sub folder's name has to be included in the value direction.
value="/subfolder's name in which you saved "reply.html"/reply.html"

Make any sense...?
