- In this video I'm gonna show you

exactly how to deliver a free download to someone

when they sign up to your email list.

Hey, everyone.

Megan here from meganminns.com

where I help busy entrepreneurs like you

save time running their business.

If you're trying to grow your email list,

then chances are you want to give away

a free download to someone

when they sign up to your email list

but it may not be very clear on the best way to do this.

So I'm gonna show you a step by step tutorial

on how you can do this using Convert Kit.

Convert Kit is the email service provider

that I use, love and recommend.

If you're interested in trying Convert Kit,

I actually have a link to it below this video

that you should be sure to click.

Now let's get started.

First, go to convertkit.com

and either create an account or log in

if you already have an account.

If you do need to create an account,

I actually have a link below this video

where you can go ahead and sign up right away.

Once you're logged in,

this is what Convert Kit will look like

when you're just starting out.

The way I'm going to teach you

to deliver a free download to your audience

is through a form.

So go ahead and click Create Form.

You can do a landing page or a form.

Again, I am going to show you how to do a form.

There are three styles you can choose from.

I'm gonna show you how to use the naked style,

which is my favorite and the one I use most often

because it just blends in to my existing website and brand.

This is a preview of what your form will look like

and I'm gonna go ahead

and change the button to match my brand.

Perfect.

Let's go ahead and save.

Go to Settings.

This is what the back end of a Convert Kit form looks like.

You can name it

and adjust a bunch of different settings

so be sure to read through this

and if you're just getting started with Convert Kit,

there is a great knowledge base that Convert Kit has

that will walk you through all the basics.

So I will link to that below this video as well.

But what I want to focus on

is showing you how to deliver your free download.

So we're gonna go to incentive email.

And the incentive email is a confirmation email

that Convert Kit will send out when someone subscribes.

Be sure to also customize the subject line and the message

and you can also customize what the button says

to match whatever your incentive is.

So be sure to take a few minutes

to make sure that looks the way you want

and then we're going to click Incentive Download

as what happens after they confirm their subscription.

And this is where you're gonna upload your free download.

So whether it's a ebook, worksheet, workbook

or anything like that.

Go ahead and click Upload File,

find the file on your computer.

You'll see it uploads really quickly

and save.

So there we go.

Now whenever someone opts in to your form,

they will get this confirmation email

straight to their inbox

and when they click this button

it will not only confirm their subscription

to your email list

but it will also give them this free download.

And if you click this link,

you can always test and make sure it works

and it just downloaded to my computer

so now I know that that free download does work

and uploaded correctly.

And there you go.

It's that simple and easy.

You now have a free download

getting delivered to your audience

once they opt-in and confirm their subscription

using Convert Kit.

Now you know how to deliver a free download

using Convert Kit.
