How it works
All you need to do is simply upload your free download using the plugin admin interface. Once your file is uploaded, create a stylish form or just use the ready made default form. Then just add the generated shortcode to the pages or posts where you would like to show the sign up form. Or simply use a widget to generate your form.
When the subscriber signs up to receive your free download, an email with a verification link is sent to their email address.
For the subscriber to receive the free download they must click on the link in the email. The link returns the subscriber to your website where the plugin verifies the information and provides the subscriber with a button to retrieve the download.
A link to your download is never revealed.
