I've searched google and this forum and haven't found an answer.

I want to allow users to watch a video on condition that they first sign up to my email list.

Is there an easy way to do this? Ready made plug in or script?

Regards
David

    The good news is - it's really easy:

    Most email list management systems (AWeber for example) allow you to specify a URL that the user sees after they have confirmed their email address via the 'Please Verify' email that is sent out.

    They will only be re-directed to this URL if they verify: so you can be sure you have their real email address.

    There's nothing stopping people sharing the URL or copying and distributing the video - but most won't and they could share any passwords or other security system you try to implement: so don't worry about it.

    So the sequence is:

    * They enter their email address in to your form
    * They are sent a 'Please Verify' email
    * They receive the email and click the link contained therein
    * They are re-directed to your video

    The above poster has got it right. AWeber is a great tool which allows you to do exactly what you want to do. There are some free/other paid ones around but AWeber is definitely probably one of the best, and most easiest - so it'll allow you to direct the video to them on the condition that they sign up first, which will then be verified by their email link sent by you.

    Like James said, there is hardly any limits to them sharing passwords or the link with others, even though the majority don't, so you may need to think of something which won't let them do this.
