Forms and free downloads

What it is

A signup form is the front door of your list, and a free download is the best reason I know for someone to walk through it.

Every Kōlea form is three things at once: a hosted page on your domain, an embed for any site, and an endpoint that takes JSON. Attach a file and it goes out the moment someone confirms.

Put it anywhere

Make a form and you get a hosted page link, an embed snippet that works without JavaScript, and a fetch example for your own code. Use whichever fits.

  • Views, signups, conversion, and confirmations for each form, with 14 days day by day, so you can tell which page and which freebie actually grow the list.

  • Double opt-in on by default, the confirm link opens a page with a "Yes, subscribe me" button, so a mail scanner clicking links can't sign anyone up.

  • Tags applied only after they confirm, so your "elixir" tag means people who said yes, not people who typed an address once.

  • Bot protection built in, a hidden field, timing checks, and rate limits, with a count of what got turned away so you know it's working.

A file when they confirm

Write the reply your new reader gets and attach a PDF, EPUB, or ZIP up to 50 MB. Each reader gets their own download link.

  • A personal link for each reader, every download is counted, and if you replace the file, every old link still works.

  • The file type is checked from its contents, not its name, so nobody can slip something nasty in pretending to be a PDF.

  • Each signup knows where it came from, which form and which campaign, so when that reader buys something later you can see what started it.

The short version

  • A signup page on your own domain, or a form you can paste into any site.
  • Send a file when someone confirms, and tag them with what they signed up for.
  • You'll know which form and campaign each signup came from.
