Definitely sharing this with other newbie bloggers. Hi Gretchen, This was a breath of fresh air after begging Thrive Content Builder landing page plugin to my WP site for days to help me figure this out. Ready to pull my hair out! Hoping to resolve the glitches by tomorrow! That box was created using Thrive Leads, and points to my ConvertKit email sequence with my freebie.

Hi Gretchen, thanks so much for this great info!! Hello Amie! Thank you so much for this simple straight forward information. I have been struggling with doing this for a long time Thank You. Dear Gretchen, Once again, thank you for this much helpful tutorial. I would appreciate if you would explain how to embed the general sign up form into the web site, or do the same customization with the embedded sing up form. For being so detailed and precise in your explanations.

You are my new discovery! Thank you for putting it together. The fields appear on the page but the button does not. Look for this line in your embed code:. I am just about to launch my website so i do not yet have any subscribers. I wanted to use a free download to entice readers to subscribe from the start. I have just signed up to mail chimp and have tried to follow your instructions above. However i have nothing in my lists? Tia, you can set up your Final Welcome Email before anyone subscribes so that it is in place when they do.

Appreciate the clarity of your article. I do have one question: I am trying to write my blog posts in advance. I want to advertise the opt-in in a post that is scheduled to be published in a couple of weeks. Heidi, once you set up your MailChimp Final Welcome Email, it will apply to everyone who signs up from that point on. Thank you so much for this! But a very clear and useful guide — I found it very simple, perfect for me who is new to Mailchimp and such!

I love this step by step explanation! I see its from , does it still work like this? So thank you again! Great post! I was just wondering about the legal considerations concerning this approach.

When you offer a free download after asking for a Name and email address , do you automatically have an explicit optin? Are you able to save your ebook as a PDF file? That should help the file size.

If even then it is very large, try searching for a PDF compression service online there are many free ones and see if that reduces the file size without lowering quality. I was getting ready to pull my hair out until I found this.

Thanks for making this simple and straightforward. Thanks so much! Thank you for this. I suggest a few more instructions, like how to set up the form on wordpress.

That would be useful. This was super simple. Not only did I already have MailChimp but it took me 1 search to find this! Thanks Gretchen. These directions were super easy to follow. Thank you so much! I was at a loss and almost spent money on trying to get my freebie out there.

I decided to make a Monthly Calendar for my blog. I had no idea you could upload links to mail chimp without having to pay. Thanks again! I highly appreciate your tutorials and advices. Best wishes for you Gretchen, and thank you. Hi Gretchen! I guess they could reenter their email address but I hate for them to have to go through those steps again. Is there any easier way? You can also use Automations with a paid MailChimp account. You can ask your subscribers to put in their email again.

When they put in the same email address in the subscription form, it will send them another email. Still a lot of steps. But doable. Thanks so much for this brilliant article, Grethcen. I am giving away an audioworkshop that is rather large 27 MB.

And that is too large for Mailchimp, which I use. Do you know how I can send a file of this size or where I can host it so it is not visible to the public? I am currently using soundcloud as a temporary solution. Thank you so much for your help. Thanks for this! Just what I needed, and even more clear than the Mailchimp instructions!

If you subscribe to our newsletter you will see what we uploaded! Followed your steps and it worked; thank you for sharing the knowledge! Thank you so much for explaining this in easy to understand terms! I was having such a hard time trying to figure this out on my own. Super helpful post thank you again! This was SO very helpful. Excelent article. Do you know how to solve it? Therein lies the problem. That is where ConvertKit comes in really, really handy. Or else a paid MailChimp account so you can use Automations.

Hi, Thanks so much for this article. I had been searching online for a straight forward explanation for this and was so confused until I found this site. Just two questions. So after following this steps is it correct to say that right now new subscribers whether it is through this opt in or my Facebook sign up button or my newsletter sign up button on the sidebar will be able to download my free printable?

Do I need to go change the link to my free printable in the sign up form if I add another new free printable at a later stage? Is it possible to keep this one active and then also add another one at a later stage?

Yes, upon implementation of these steps, any new subscribers to your list will get the freebie in the automation or final welcome email. If you want to add another new freebie at a later stage, you can add additional links in the automation or final welcome email. This is great advice, thanks Gretchen. How do I keep it from showing up in the confirm subscription page? If it continues to show up, my readers will be able to get my free download without having to actually sign up. You want it in the Final Welcome Email, not the Confirmation options.

This is a very helping post. Can you tell me, how can I allow my subscribers to download a pdf file directly without sending them via email. Hope you understand. Great Job! Thanks for posting. My freebie is best practices for keeping your computer network secure. Is the freebie a PDF? Other email accounts I sent it too work fine I.

I was able to email to my other email from the yahoo app on my phone then print it from there? Hi Gretchen Thankyou for this post. I was wanting to add as a freebie a MP3 file and branded cover. Will these instructions work the same with this.

Are there any other added things I should know. So when reading about all the features I might need as an all in one I am not sure how I go about it to then connect it to my wordpress with my maichimp email database collections. Subscribe to keep updated.

Comments — can you now? Kris, merely delete the file from the Mailchimp content manager. Cheers, Chris. Many thanks in advance. Regards, Cintia.

Hi, Gary, I was able to do this in my auotmated first email, but I wanted to send the same PDF to my existing list, and I only seem to have the option to link to a URL, email or phone number. Thank you! HI, I have created a file in the content studio — how do I turn it inot a campaign??? Finish configuring your automation and click Start Workflow.

Log In. Was this article helpful? It was easy to find what I was looking for. I could easily scan a help article to find the information I needed. The help articles are easy to read.

The help articles helped me resolve my issue. Mailchimp is easy to use. I just love Mailchimp! The help articles don't make sense. Or Gary… maybe you can be the master Guru for us all? Something so basic? Hi Katt, from what you describe all should be ok. How are you uploading to Mailchimp i. Also is this just with one browser or all browsers Firefox, Chrome …? My pdf when opened from my computer shows working hyperlinks in the file.

Perhaps try saving as a PDF file from a different application and see if that helps. Hello, I love the instructions but, I do not get a Web Address drop-down menu after clicking the Link button. The box that pops open gives me the opportunity to type a UR address. Any suggestions. Hi Linda. Thanks for the tutorial! However, when I click on the link in the test email it just takes me to a webpage with a media player. I tried resetting it to file, but after doing other edits and checking it looks like it reset itself to webpage.

Very confusing…. The internet browser Firefox, Chrome etc. There is nothing you can do as the sender to change the settings in the browser. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I should have thought of the browser issue… I tested it on Safari, Firefox and Chrome, and Chrome was the only one which had a place to download the file without the alternate clicking.
