Does it matter where the gift is coming from?

I don't see why you can't just send them to the page where download items are already at. You can just give them the link to that page in the followup email.

You can also "train" your subscribers to click on your links that lead to your blog. This will be a continuity experience for them and will help to establish a better relationship with them.

Also, rather than make recommendations to products through your email message, you can send them to a presell page on your blog to warm them up a little more before sending them to a product sales page.

Create a whole new page "Subscribers" have a like intro page to it ... and like a email submit access thing ?
Or log in system?

If you use Wordpress you could add the videos to a password protected page. Give people the password in your email.

I would do it where people opt in and are sent to a thank you page telling them to check their email for the download link to make sure people enter legit emails. Otherwise they put in any fake nonsense and still get access to your stuff.

I would put the links in a pdf so the subscriber can either watch the videos from you site or download them from the pdf. This gives you the opportunity to use the pdf to give the subscriber additional content and over deliver.

For sure, I would offer on the second page of the pdf a free ecourse that people can receive through email by sending them to another squeeze page for the ecourse. This way if you make the ebook available with resell or giveaway rights, other people will be sending new subscribers to your ecourse squeeze page because they will see it on the second page before getting to the video links.

You can also add resources at the end of the pdf to affiliate products that you can make a commission on.

Plus as your business grows and you develop your own products and an affiliate program, it would be easy to change the resources in the pdf if wanted and make it brandable for your affiliates to give away.

You can create a download page that delivers the pdf and on that download page again other offers or programs can be offered.

I forgot to add something. with the ecourse in the pdf and all the other viral elements, you don't have to be concerned about protecting this free ebook. You want to get it into as many peoples hands whether they signed up to your list to get it or not because built into the pdf is a way to get the people onto your list anyway.

Never protect access to a free list building product if you do things right.

Best regards,

What software did you use to create your Squeeze Page?

You could simply ask everyone to subscribe if they want to watch the videos at your blog when they get there.

I do that with my free ebooks. Everyone must become my subscriber to download my free ebooks.

Those who will subscribe at your squeeze page can simply log in to watch the videos when they will arrive at your blog.

You must remember that every extra step or hoop you have a potential subscriber do or jump through will greatly lower your conversion rate.

Also when I made comments here it was directed to everyone who was suggesting ways to protect your free stuff. The goal for creating your videos by what you have said was to give them away.

You must remember that you are only one person. So, your circle of influence is limited. By taking just a couple of easy steps, you will have other people helping to give your freebie away greatly multiplying your circle of infuence reaching many times more people.

By all means get your videos online and available the best way you can now, but work on another freebie like and ecourse, which is a series of emails that will help build a relationship with the new people on your list.

The way your are describing your process is that you send the new subscriber directly to your freebie download, which is a real missed oppornunity to make your first sale. Here is how your process should go...

1. Visitor subscribes at squeeze page.
2. squeeze page redirects to a sales letter selling a product related to your freebie. (This could be an affiliate product)
3. New subscriber finds a confirm email message in inbox.
4. New subscriber confirms email and goes to the download page.
5. New subscriber downloads pdf with links to your video, plus the ability to get more information related to your freebie in a small article or report in the pdf.

Above the ad for a free ecourse you explain the rights the new subscriber has with the pdf,which is they can sell it, or give it away.

You must remember that asking them to signup to a new list with the ecourse is not seen as the inconvenience many have described in this post. Your not twisting their arm to sign up for the ecourse.

But it has been proven that it can take as many as 7 touches before someone likes and trusts you enough to make a purchase. That is why you supply a 7-day ecourse. It helps to build your relationship right away with your new subscriber.

Sending the new subscriber to a sales letter when they click the send button on your squeeze page is just one way to let them know that your content is not all free.

You don't want to build a list of just freebie seekers.

What are you plans once people sign up to your list. Do you have a series of emails set to go out at various intervals.

What people should be worrying about instead of how to secure a free product is what you are going to do with the people who do sign up to your list.

These follow up emails should be all planned out and installed in your autoresponder. This is how you begin to automate you sales process with your autoresponder.

Your videos should be a preselling tool to a product with no reason to send people to your blog.

I view a blog as a traffic and preselling tool. I'm not a big believer in using a blog for the actual selling of a product. It should be used to gather traffic and basically send them to different sales letters.

When selling, you only want to concentrate on one product with no other distractions around like are on a blog. So minisites still have a very good use in the sales process.

If you squeeze page is designed to send traffic to your blog then you are going in the wrong direction. Both your squeeze page and your blog should be driving traffic to a sales letter.

Basically, you want your freebies can only be viewed by your subscriber. so, my advice is simple. you can store your video in amazon s3. an amazing private video streaming storage. First, when your subscriber get your email, include your video link in which you have generate before. the link contain a stream video stored from amazon s3 database, and it can only be viewed by that link.
