I even revised the process by adding the pdf freebie to a different form stage but I didnt get it either. It has taken me over two hours already to get this far. Is there a simple solution? Question: what if I use the Mail Chimp Subscriber pop up form?
Do I have to upload the freebie again or will it work automatically once they confirm their address and receive the final welcome email? Is that correct? What else should I do? MailChimp should still give subscribers the thank-you page and welcome email containing the download links.
I would test it first of course, just to make sure. Thanks so much for the quick reply. I saved and exited, I have the code but where exactly do I paste it in?
Which page do you mean with WordPress? Do you want it on every page of your site in the footer or sidebar? Drag in a Text widget from the left-hand Available Widgets column into that box.

Good luck with launching your site. I got invited to participate in a summit and had never set-up a freebie specific to an event.
Your article helped a lot. Thank you! Thanks for your comment Jaiden. Sure, you can have a separate list for the freebie. In fact this is one of the ways you can offer multiple freebies to your readers — you create a separate list for each freebie, then you can merge subscribers into your main list if you like! Thank you thank you! I redesigned my website and wanted to update my freebie, but I had no idea where to start.
This post was exactly what I needed. This is great content, thanks Matt. I was wondering how to add this form as a pop up instead of in every page.

Which, brings me to my question, will these same steps work on my free Wix website? When we include a file attachment in an email message we increase the size of the message. For example, if we add a PDF attachment of 2 MB in size in Outlook or Gmail and send that campaign, we are forcing the recipient to download the attachment whether they want to view the attachment or not.
Files sent as attachments force the recipient to use their data to download the file, data to store the file and often slow the network of the recipient. When sending an attachment, the recipient usually has no control over the attachment downloading immediately. When sending a file as an email attachment to a few people this may not be a major concern however imagine that you send an email marketing campaign to , subscribers.
Suddenly we are forcing the large download onto a significant number of people. That means that about 27, of our , contacts will open our message. There is a push by email companies to decrease the size of email messages that recipients are committed to download e.

Worked perfectly…but when I viewed my test email the pdf file was presented in landscape not portrait so part of the info was cut off. How do I fix this? She saved the file as a PDF using a different means than she first had and all was ok. Can I change the linked file? My subscribers can see the file if they open from computer but not on a phone. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? It was very helpful, Thank you, Jack A novice at Mailchimp and e-marketing.
There was always someone else to do that. To test the file you added to the final welcome email, you'll have to go through the signup process. A welcome message automation is a great way to greet new subscribers and help them get to know you.
When the next person signs up for your marketing emails, they'll receive your automated email or email series with linked files to download. Automation settings are directly linked to the audience you are sending to. Once you click Start Workflow , you won't be able to edit the audience, automation type, or email order. You can still edit content, however.
To make changes to uneditable portions of an automation, replicate your automation and reconfigure the new copy. Can you tell us more about your experience today? Sorry we couldn't be more help. Can you tell us about your experience today?
