building seriously nifty websites, minus the geekery
You may not be at the stage where you just want to build an email list, rather than sell access to a membership or course. Luckily there is a way to set up a simple opt in incentive in Rainmaker, where you can offer visitors a free incentive in exchange for their email address.
In this tutorial I want to show you how to create a simple email opt in incentive using the RainMail email features that come with the Rainmaker Platform.
As an incentive for visitors to join an email list, you may want to offer a free e-course where subscribers receive a sequence of emails over time.
The Rainmaker Platform comes with built in Autoresponder tools you can use to create an email series for your subscribers, without needing them to log into your site.
To add an opt in form to your Rainmaker site, you can create a site notice with pop up functionality to appear at a certain time after the page loads or when the user scrolls down to a certain point in the content.
You may come across a situation where you need to provide a person with access to a product or create a new member. This tutorial will take you through how to manually create a member and add a product to a user profile.
The Rainmaker Platform themes have built in code that allows you to create ‘call to action’ buttons you can add anywhere on your site. In this tutorial I will show you how to use the code in your posts and pages.
If the videos on your site are taking a long time to load and play, it likely that your video files are too big.
To make sure your videos are set up for an easy streaming and downloading experience, you will need to optimize your videos prior to uploading them to your Rainmaker site. Luckily there is a free tool that can make this job really easy.
In this tutorial I will walk you through how to reduce the size of your video files, without affecting the quality of the video.
