How Ebook Delivery to Leads Works

How Ebook Delivery to Leads Works

Once someone signs up through a form with an ebook attached, SiteStakes sends them the ebook right away. This guide explains how ebook delivery to leads works. You'll see how it reaches them and how you track each download.

How does ebook delivery to leads work?

Delivery starts the moment someone fills out a form that has an ebook attached. You set this up by connecting the ebook to a form. SiteStakes then sends the PDF you generated two ways at once:

  • a download on the thank-you page
  • an email to the address they entered.

The lead gets the guide within seconds, with no work from you.

How does the thank-you page deliver the ebook?

Right after someone submits the form, they land on the thank-you page. The page shows a download button and a preview of the ebook, so they can open it on the spot. Most people download it here, while they are still on your site and interested.

As long as you've selected the Ebook for delivery, delivery online and email is automatic. No further setup is needed

What's in the delivery email?

SiteStakes also emails the ebook to the address the lead entered. The email includes a download link to the file, so they still get the guide even if they close the page first. This way, the ebook reaches them whether they download it right away or later.

How long does the download link last?

The download link does not expire. The lead can download it again if need be.

Can I deliver the ebook by text message?

Yes. On top of the email, SiteStakes can send the download link by text message. Text delivery uses your SMS credits, and it helps when a lead gives a phone number and checks texts more than email.

How do I know if a lead downloaded the ebook?

SiteStakes records each delivery and each download. You can see which ebook a lead received, and whether they opened it, in your lead timeline. That tells you who is engaged, so you know which leads to follow up with first.

Does ebook delivery start a follow-up sequence?

It can. On the Grow and Pro plans, delivering an ebook can start a follow-up email sequence for that lead. The sequence sends a few emails over the next days to keep the conversation going, so a download turns into a real lead instead of a one-time visit.

Which plans include ebook delivery?

Ebook delivery to leads comes with the ebook feature on the Grow and Pro plans. On the Basic plan, you'll see ebooks with a prompt to upgrade before you can deliver them.
