This week I saw a really cool plugin for Wordpress blogs. It's called Post Gopher. The guy who told me about it had hooked it up on his blog.
From the user end, it's really simple. There's a button on a post. In this example, it said something like "I want to read this, but I don't have time right now. Send me a PDF copy of this post."
You click on the button, and a form comes up. Fill in your email address and click "Send it to me."
A few minutes later, you get 2 emails. One is a welcome message, thanking you for signing up for his list. The other contains a link to download the PDF.
Easy peezy. Worked like a charm.
Watching the demo video, it's easy to install, too. Upload it like any plugin, activate it, and fill in some settings.
Bang. Done.
It works with any email list software, too. If you've got a sign-up form, that's all you need.
Good thing to know.
....
This is really cool for the big posts. The ones people are most likely to want to keep and share. Things like case studies, collections of tools, top 10 lists. Things like that.
For those, you might want to change the first button text to "I want to keep a copy of this. Send me a PDF, please."
Think you might get a lot of people asking for that, and signing up for your list in the process?
Yeah.
Now, you probably don't want that button on every post. He doesn't mention this in the video, but there's an easy way around that. If you look at the demo, you'll see an option to only include it on posts in chosen categories. And, in Wordpress, you can add a post to more than one category.
So, you create a new category called "Featured Posts." Set the plugin to only add the button to posts in that category. Put your new posts in the usual category that fits AND in the "featured" group.
Now, if you're on a blog and see a "Featured Posts" category, are you likely to check that out?
Yeah.
"Hey. This is good stuff. And I can get it as a PDF, so I can be sure I can find it later? Sure.
"Gimme."
....
So, the product will deliver. Easy. Fast. More.
