How To Collect Emails With Google Sites

so let's say you've made a landing page.
with Google sites for free and you now.
want to add a bottom so people can opt.
into your email list you can do this all.
inside of Google sites and I'm going to.
show you how you can do it for free so.
we've got a landing page here it's.
promoting a product on ClickBank now.
what we need to do is we need to First.
add a button so people can opt in so go.
to the right hand corner of Google sites.
go and click on bottom and you can then.
give this button a name so I'm going to.
call it something like sign or opt-in.
and you can put whatever text you want.
here but then you need to also add a.
link now this link is going to be the.
link to the opt-in form which we're.
going to create with another Google.
product called Google forms so if you go.
to Google and you just type in here.
Google forms.
and then you go to the first one here.
which should be Google formed you can.
then go ahead and create a new Google.
forms which you we can use as kind of.
like an opt-in page so we'll go blank.
here.
and you can capture all of your emails.
inside of Google forms so here I'm going.
to change this to opt-in and again you.
can change this to whatever you want.
we'll give it a description.
and I'm promoting here on my site the.
smoothie diet on ClickBank so I'll just.
put here.
smoothie.
diet for weight loss so now I've done.
that we've got an email field already.
now you may not have that when you first.
go to Google forms what I would.
recommend you do is go to settings go to.
defaults and then go to form defaults.
and if you click on that if collect.
email addresses by default is turned off.
just turn it on and then also make sure.
that question default is also turned on.
as well.
then you can go back to questions and.
then you'll have this email box which is.
asking someone for their email you can.
also add an Untitled question here go.
and delete that and we'll call this one.
full name.
and we can change the multiple choice.
answer to a short answer and we can make.
this a required field so just make sure.
this slide is checked and then you've.
got kind of like your opt-in page now.
with Google's Google forms you can also.
add videos from YouTube you can add up a.
sections you can add images you can add.
text and description and this is all.
done for free inside of Google's.
products which I actually thought was.
was actually really handy but for the.
video we'll keep it basic and we'll.
create a simple opt-in form now we'll.
preview this just to make sure.
everything looks good so you can see it.
asks for that email and full name and.
you can obviously write your own text.
here.
so now we've got that we now need to.
collect the responses when someone.
enters in their email because right now.
we're not collecting the responses so to.
do that go to responses and you can see.
there are zero responses right now make.
sure this is checked so you can actually.
accept responses then click here where.
it says a link to sheets and you can.
then create a new spreadsheet so I'll.
call this just like I don't know YT for.
YouTube and then I'll click create now.
this page is going to be linked to this.
spreadsheet here now on this spreadsheet.
you've got the timestamp when people.
enter their email you've got their email.
and you've also got their full name so.
let's try it out so now before we try.
out we need to go ahead and grab the.
link to this form here now to do that.
you need to click on send in the top.
right hand corner you then go to this.
link icon and you can then copy this.
link.
now go back to Google sites and remember.
we were inserting a button just go ahead.
and paste in this link.
to the button click insert and now.
you've got an opt-in button which you.
can add to your landing page you may.
want to scatter these around the landing.
page depending on how big it is now.
we'll publish this and we'll preview it.
and here we can see we've got our.
landing page and if we click on opt-in.
here it will redirect us to the opt-in.
form so we'll enter in these fields.
we'll click on submit and now we're.
opted in we should be able to see you.
can see here as the time it has the.
email address and it has the full name.
and once you've got a list of all of.
these you can just export these by going.
to file download you can export these as.
a CSV file and you can upload this to an.
email autoresponder and send out emails.
automatically to this list.
