Offering free downloads of your beats is an excellent way to grow your audience and capture leads. With the Sonaar MP3 Player Pro, you can easily turn your download buttons into powerful lead generation tools using the “Ask for Email” feature. This guide will walk you through enabling this feature, customizing it for your brand, and exporting the emails you collect for future use.

Step 1: Access the Download Buttons Settings in Sonaar MP3 Player Pro

To begin, ensure you’re using the Sonaar MP3 Player Pro and are subscribed to the Business Plan or higher. Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Download Settings:
    • From your WordPress dashboard, go to MP3 Player > Settings > Download Buttons in Sonaar.
    • Activate the option: “Add Download Button For Each Track” to add download buttons next to all your tracks on the website.
    • If you want to enable the download button only for specific tracks, edit the player widget for that instance and enable download buttons there.
  2. Set Up Dynamic Visibility:
    • Activate “Enable Dynamic Visibility” to control when and how the download buttons appear.
    • Set conditions to “Show Download Buttons if User is Logged In”. For guests, enable the “Ask for Email” option to require email addresses before providing access to the download.
  3. Configure File Delivery:
    • Under the “How to deliver the download file?” dropdown, choose how you’d like to deliver the files.
    • You can either provide the download immediately after the form is submitted, or send the file by email. Sending via email ensures valid email addresses, improving your lead quality.

Step 2: Test Your Download Buttons

Before going live, make sure everything works as expected:

  1. Use Incognito Mode:
    • Open your site in an incognito window (logged out of WordPress) to view it as a guest.
    • Check if the download buttons are displayed next to your tracks.
  2. Submit a Test Form:
    • Click the download button and submit the form. Ensure you either receive the file for download immediately or via email.
    • If the buttons aren’t displaying correctly, check the dynamic visibility conditions and ensure the “Ask for Email” feature is activated in your player settings.

Step 3: Customize the Look and Feel

To match the Sonaar MP3 Player Pro to your branding, you can customize the lightbox modal (the popup users see when submitting their email):

  1. Go to MP3 Player > Settings > Popup/Lightbox.
  2. Adjust colors, typography, and other design elements to match your website’s look.

Step 4: Export Collected Emails

The “Ask for Email” feature helps you grow your mailing list by collecting user emails. Here’s how to export those emails:

  1. Navigate to MP3 Player > Settings > Collected Emails in Sonaar.
  2. Click Export Emails and select CSV format. Optionally, you can filter by start and end date.
  3. Save the CSV file to your computer for future use.

Step 5: Import Emails to Your Mailing List Platform

Now that you’ve collected emails, you can import them into your mailing list platform. Here are guides for importing CSV files into popular platforms:

Make sure to format your CSV file according to the platform’s requirements.

Conclusion

With Sonaar MP3 Player Pro and the “Ask for Email” feature, offering free downloads of your beats on WordPress becomes easy and effective. By turning your download buttons into lead generation tools, you not only provide value to your audience but also grow your email list for future promotions.
