Downloading a fact sheet

[Saxophonist]

I would like to put a fact sheet on my website which users can download for free. The idea is to collect email addresses so I can contact them in future.
How do I do this?

Add a form to the site that asks for their email address. Set up an auto responder that sends them a link to the factsheet.

How do I add a form?

its a case of webcode to the webpage... then after submission a redirect to the page of the file

Things to consider, spam protection, just a simple form that uses Mailto: are easy, but a haven for spammers

To make sure you get en email there should be some kind of email verification - java script

Depending on how many people you think will download there can be form systems you can embed into your page... I used one recently to collate emails for a reminder for a one day offer I was doing.

Please feel free to drop me a line if you want to discuss it more, I'd be more than happy to help

How do I add a form?

Depends on the site, if it's wordpress or some other CMS you just need a plugin. If it's something you built yourself then you need to build the form yourself. There are plenty of scripts you can download to do this. You will need some server side code to validate and process the form but it's not that complicated. I've got a form you can have if you want, send me a PM and I'll send it to you.
