In this example, I give subscriber free eBooks. We must
upload the eBook to get the URL link for download. We can use Wordpress or Box
(www.box.com).
For Opt-in Email, I use MailChimp because it is FREE. So
we need to Sign Up at http://mailchimp.com
Click on Sign Up
Free.

Username, Password and click on Create
My Account.
Check
your email to activate your account.

Password and click on Log In.

If you want to Subscribe To MailChimp, tick at the box and
then click Save And Get Started.

Pointing your mouse to
the right corner of the box until the edit

Type something like a Call-to-action.

Click on Translate
It and change the word Subscribe to
list to your own word.
Don’t forget to click on Save.
Then click on Build It.
Click on arrow
at Signup Form, go to Signup “Thank You” Page and click on it.
You can send subscriber to another URL by typing the URL inside the box.
OR you can edit the
form below by pointing your mouse at the edit

In this example, I just click on Save.
Click on Opt-in
Confirmation Email.
Again, if you want to edit, you can edit. Point your mouse
at the edit button. Here, I am going
not to edit just click on Save.
Now go to Confirmation
“Thank You” Page.
Again, you can send subscriber to another URL by typing the URL inside the box.
But in this example, I am going to insert the link for subscriber to download the eBooks at the box below.
Click on edit (point at the edit button until it appears).
Type a sentence, highlight
it and click on Link.
Paste your
URL on the box and click on Insert. Don’t forget to Save.
Scroll up and click on For Your Website and click on Signup
Form Embed Code.
Again we need to edit the title. Click on Options
and change the title.
When the title has changed and click on Create Embed Code.

the code box to highlight. Then copy and paste it to Notepad.
Don’t forget to save your code.
Scroll up and go back to For Your Website and click on Signup
Form Link Code.
Highlight the URL, copy and save the URL on
Notepad. The URL should be like this: http://eepurl.com/q2Apr
This is how it looks:
Now you have two options:
1. Use HTML code or
2. Just send subscriber the link email opt-in URL.
For HTML, this is how it looks:
The word “Subscribe” does not
change. If you want to change it, refer to your HTML code. Change the word “Subscibe”
like the example below to your own word. I like to use word: Submit.
