Looking for a Tutorial

I have a website that I would like to make it possible for someone to get an ebook download when they give me their email address.

I have already set up the AWeber account and have had the ebook written but I don't know how to put the pieces into place.

Anyone know of a good video tutorial on how to set this up?

I know I could hire someone but I would really like to learn how to do it myself.

Thanks!

    Aweber themselves have good videos. I suggest you search over there.

    Hi. Basically you just need to set it up in Aweber. Assuming you use double opt-in (highly recommended) the form settings in Aweber will ask where to send the opt-in folks after they hit the "submit" button (or whatever text you use) on the opt-in form. This "Thank You" page can be a custom page you set up on your site, or you can just leave it and Aweber has a default thannkyou page that says something like: "Thanks. You'll be receiving an e-mail with a link in it to confirm that it's OK to send you messages."

    Now you need to edit the list you have set up in Aweber for your opt-in form. Under "Confirmed Opt-In" you'll find a window called "Success Page" where you can enter a url for your site. Assuming you have already created a page on your site with the ebook download link on it, just put the url for THAT page into the Aweber "Success Page" window and save.

    After you do all that. TEST IT to make sure it works.

    I hope that helps.

    Looks like Ken has given you a detailed enough answer.
    Just one thing I would like to suggest - create a directory on your site with a secure (password type) name.
    You can use your cpanel add on domain function to generate and check the strength of passwords - or use qpg or roboform to create passwords.
    This makes it much more difficult for others to find anything you want to sell
