In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up a freebie in myflow step by step, so you can start collecting leads and growing your customer base today!

Why offer a freebie?

Offering a freebie is an excellent strategy for businesses looking to attract new customers and grow their email list. By giving away something valuable, you’re providing an incentive for people to sign up, and in return, you get their contact information.

This is the first step in building a relationship and nurturing that lead into a paying customer. A well-designed freebie not only boosts your credibility but also creates a great opportunity to showcase your products and services.

Step 1: Create your freebie

The first thing you need to do is create the product you want to give away for free. This could be anything from a PDF guide, a checklist, or a video that will benefit your potential customers.


Step 2: Create a landing page

Make a landing page for the freebie

Next, you’ll need to create a landing page where people can sign up to get the freebie. This page is where you'll sell the freebie to your visitors and explain its value. On this page, make sure to highlight the benefits of your freebie and how it will solve a problem or meet a need for your audience. You’ll also want to make it clear that it’s completely free, and all they need to do is submit their contact information.

Tip: We have pre-made templates in the template library that you can use as a starting point. These templates can save you time and offer inspiration for creating professional landing and thank you pages.

Add a contact form to the landing page

On your landing page, you need to include a contact form where people can enter their details, like their name and email address. This is how you’ll collect their contact information so you can send them the freebie and follow up with future marketing efforts.

Redirect to a thank you page

After someone submits their contact information, you can redirect them to a "thank you page". So you need to make one more separate landing page. This page can include a message thanking them for signing up, and it’s also where you’ll deliver the freebie. On this page, you can link to the freebie download, whether it’s a PDF or a video. This is where your lead will be able to access the freebie they signed up for.

You link this landing page in the settings of the contact form under the headline "Link to redirect to after submit (eg. Thank you page)"

You can also create and activate automation that will be sent to customer after filling the form.


Summary

To set up a freebie in myflow, you need to create a product (like a PDF or video), build a landing page where visitors can sign up, include a contact form to collect their information, and set up a thank you page where they can access the freebie. By doing this, you create a simple but effective funnel that helps you grow your email list and generate leads for your business.
