ConvertKit is a very popular email marketing software among content creators. I think the main reason it is so popular is because how easy it is to use. However if you're completely new to email marketing you might benefit from this convertkit tutorial for beginners. In this convertkit demo, I pretty much walk you through every step for the basic email marketing features: Like how to create convertkit forms, a convertkit landing page and how to use convertkit in general. If you still have any questions after watching this convertkit tutorial, feel free to leave me a comment below!

Superb Video

[@manuelamueller-restlessroots]

Really loved this tutorial! Isn't your fault that the simple form embed doesn't work on my WordPress sight thought. I see the form in the editor, but as soon as I publish the original embed code pops up....neither convertkit nor WordPress have a clue why....so much for super easy to use...but as said. I love the way you explain and show so I'll be back for more !!

[@JapanesewithAYU]

Thank you for your video. It helped a lot. Could I ask you if I can have multiple forms or landing pages with convertkit? If I want to put a link in a description for my each video that leads people to my mailing list so they can get a free PDF, I will have to make a different link every time I upload a video. Would it be possible???

[@tajsarai2609]

Nice video. Can you tell me how to add payment gateway with this software in Free plan

[@patrickryan5279]

Hi Simon, Thanks for the video. I have signed up for the free software. this means that I can only use the broadcast option with scheduling to send out my first 10 emails. So then how do I manage new subscribers without repeating the emails to people who have already received the first broadcasts. Is there a way to send new emails to subscribers and the original broadcasts to the new subscribers at the same time? Thanks.

[@theaffiliate38]

How to verify newly created convertkit landing page with a google search? Is it any option to do that in page settings?

[@beyondlimits4085]

thanks for this very helpful tutorial. just one question, are you using the free account on this video or the paid one? coz I don't see that "Settings" tool under this form page - time is under 17:04. looks like the free one has no tools like that. pls advise. thanks.

[@detricegaines1889]

Hello, I don’t have the blue bar on the side to add the opt in link for a download.. now sure what’s going on..

Hi Simon, Great tutorial! Slightly off the subject but what camera do you use for recordings ?

[@MeticsMedia]

thanks! it's a sony A7s with a sigma 24mm f1.4 lens

[@candyjardesigns]

Hi I wonder why you need a landing page if you've already embedded the form into your page?

[@laizyn550]

Hi, ich habe ein Problem beim Jarvee repost. ich habe die Einstellungen 1zu1 wie du in deinem Tutorial aber bei mir steht das am tag 6 Bilder repostet werden und nicht 2. woran kann das liegen?

Is it possible you assist link my Convertkit landing page with my Namecheap subdomain?

[@abhishek9939]

Will convertkit block our account if we send affiliate link in the emails ?

[@jeekcoi_photography]

Hi, I'm new in convertkit, I'd follow your tut. When I have add the DNS record that convertkit gave then my page doesn't exit . It say 404 not found its been a 12hr. Nothing happens how could I fix this? Tya

[@joannaduplessis7231]

Could you update this video with their new editor? It's such a great video but a little confusing as they are now on their new editor. Many thanks Jo

[@MeticsMedia]

I‘ll look intro maybe I‘ll just do the part with the new editor

[@fgbowen]

Help!!!!! I installed convertkit onto my Wordpress blog site, followed every step - then I sent myself a subscribe test - got nothing in my inbox. How do I fix this? (yes - I checked spam, and trash folders. And used my API Key, and the Secret Key as well. I checked the correct "form" on the WP Plugin settings - everything done.)

[@AhmedAdel-ej9dc]

Hello Simon thanks for the amazing video very helpful. I have a question which is can send my free ebook or lead magnet within my welcome email I hope you answer my question

[@MeticsMedia]

yes of course you can do that. I like to upload it as a pdf to dropbox or google drive and then just include the link to that pdf in the welcome email

[@weightlosswonde]

Please am waiting for your assistance

[@theowilson8996]

QUESTION: I have a masterclass! Should I send out my form in the broadcast email? Why use a form at all, and where? Should I put a form in a sequence? Or should I just send out a landing page?

[@jonnaking6768]

Can we use this platform for affiliate links?

[@MeticsMedia]

generally yes, but they are a bit more restrictive from what I've heard compared to activecampaign or getresponse.

[@GenerationSalaahudDeen]

Hi and thank you for this brilliant tutorial. Is it obligatory to buy a domain or sub-domain for landing pages? My goal is to make PDF lead magnets on landing pages to grow my Email list. Then send out Email Sequences containing value and then a good affiliate offer. I heard that Convert Kit are affiliate marketing friendly also.

[@INCOMEINSIDER10X]

yeah but don't use over claiming like "lose XX pounds in XX days" or Make XX $$ In XX Days. Convertkit will doesn't allow this they blocked me automatically...its better to use your lander when you're sending affiliate offers & have a professional email domain for your business

[@ay_lin98]

Hello good Morning. How can I delete my Converkit account?

[@IStitchMusic]

Hey pleasant content and I want to know how to add my own domain name in my email

[@MeticsMedia]

thanks! You mean that you want to send emails from the email address of your domain?

[@imagecreditsolution6604]

The only major issue I am having is getting my picture to fit on the landing page. I try to crop but still not working.

[@tipflightsimulator]

İt doesnt allow e-mail squences as free . İ dont want to use free trial. Cause of short time 14 days for testing

[@KlassicSoccer]

Can a subdomain be associated with multiple landing pages?

[@MeticsMedia]

yes, just change the URL after the "/"

[@lilianarohenes9617]

What happens if I don’t delete my A record that was created with my sub domain! I can’t remove it! Is in godaddy and I just don’t get the option!

[@MeticsMedia]

why would you want to delete any record? You just need to add another one for convertkit.

[@internetguy3978]

Is convertkit okay for cold email marketing or which auto responder is okay for cold email marketing

[@MeticsMedia]

So by cold email marketing you mean you'll market to people that don't know you yet? I don't think it matters too much what provider you use but if you want to get the one that is know to have the best delivery rates, check out activecampaign: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSUnKWrZs6qf9k

Sir can i use same email account to promote different niche on email marketing? How to different my subscriber? #massivevalue

[@MeticsMedia]

yes! just give subscribers different tags. so everybody that's interested in health gets the tag "health" and so on. You can tag people based on how they subscribe to your list or based on how they interact with your content.

[@Nestutus]

Hi, i am a newbie. I want to ask i want to have my own domain. (only for landing pages not for site or blog) So, every landing page must have its own domain ? If this is the case, what about buying shared web hosting (100 websites) and having 100 landing pages ? Or i can have many landing pages in one domain ? If this is the case , how it works ? Thanks !

[@MeticsMedia]

you can have multiple landing pages on one domain. Just change the URL extension like this e.g. expample.com/landingpage1 and then example.com/landingpage2.
