Download of Free Report for Optin

4 replies
How do you minimize downloading a free report for your optin page? You obviously don't want the link or download page passed around freely without getting the optin. I read about some ways on the forum but I want to know about the easiest to install and maintain. Any advice will be appreciated.

    Personally, I wouldn't care if my link got passed around or free report...

    I brand all of my reports with images of myself and links to my sites (including sales pages)... I'm not saying I load it up with links just a few sometimes only 1, I provide value so most people will not edit a pdf, so I know if someone finds it (that aren't on my list) they would be traffic I might not have gotten and have the potential to join my list...

    As for download pages, I monetize mine, so if someone finds it (without optin) I might make money or they might join my list.

    It's all about providing quality, branding yourself and promoting quality products with a compelling reason to check them out

    When setting up your autoresponder, make the page they are sent to after confirming, the actual download.

    So it would be : yourdomainDOTcom/yourdownload.zip or ....../yourdownload.pdf

    The download will then automatically begin.

    Then send them another email repeating the benefits of the free report.....plus maybe a link to an oto.

      Please note that he means after they click the confirm link in the CONFIRMATION EMAIL and NOT the redirect they go to after they've opted into your list.

      I had that part messed up on my first list and I would just send people to the thank you page with a download right after they opted in.... subsequently, I got almost no one to click the confirmation email link because they already got their free report!

      haha... we all learn something as newbies.
