Grow Your Mailing List by Offering Free Downloads

Updated on

Offering free theme and plugin downloads here at Graph Paper Press grew our mailing list from a big fat zero to well over 200,000 subscribers in less than four years. Today, we’re releasing this same functionality to you in the form of a plugin called Free Downloads. To use Free Downloads, all you need is a WordPress site, our free Sell Media plugin activated, Free Downloads activated, and something awesome to give away to your site visitors.

Overview

The Free Downloads extension for Sell Media brings this ordinarily complex process directly into your WordPress site. Any image, pdf, document or ZIP that you upload into WordPress can be used. Once visitors click the download button, they will be prompted to submit their name and e-mail address to complete the download. This is a great marketing and lead generation tool that you can use to:

  • Offer free pdf guides
  • Offer free images
  • Offer free zip downloads

So why not install the Free Downloads extension for Sell Media and grow your subscriber list with every download.
