Looking to capture email addresses or create an email opt-in to grow your mailing list? You're in the right place!
There are a few ways you can collect email addresses on your Thinkific site:
Using a Lead Capture Section Type
We have recently introduced a new Site Builder section type called Lead Capture that can be added to any of the following pages in Site Builder:
See HERE for how to create a Coming Soon page with a Leads Capture section and more on Managing Leads HERE. If you prefer to add this to section to a different page on your site, see Add a Site Builder Section.
Course Sign Ups
When a student signs up on your Thinkific site, their email address is added to your list of Users and easily accessible in your Admin Dashboard. If you have integrated with an Email Marketing platform, these new students will also be added to your desired mailing list! See our Email Marketing Integrations HERE.
You can consider creating a lead magnet that is included in a free mini-course or in a Free Preview lesson of your paid course!
