Use Mad Mimi Without Direct Integration

If direct mailing list integration isn’t for you, how else can you deliver your book using BookFunnel? Using one of these two options:

The first option is to create a simple download page that you email to your subscribers through Mad Mimi. The second option is to create an email signup page on BookFunnel and then import the emails from BookFunnel into your Mad Mimi account every day or two.

You Collect the Email Address, We Deliver the Book

Once you upload your book and create a simple download page on BookFunnel, you can then email its BookFunnel link to your readers through Mad Mimi. The basic steps are:

1. Create a simple download page on BookFunnel and copy its Link For Readers.
2. Paste the link into your automated welcome email on Mad Mimi
3. Create a sign-up form on Mad Mimi and link to it or embed it on your author website.
4. Drive reader traffic to your sign-up form so that they can subscribe.
5. Once they have joined your list, Mad Mimi will send them the “welcome” email that contains the BookFunnel link.
6. Your new subscribers can click the BookFunnel download link and download the book.

Pros: Available on all BookFunnel plans (including the First-Time Author plan!), simple to set up, uses your own landing page and/or website

Cons: Your BookFunnel download link can be shared online with other readers that did not sign up for your list, BookFunnel can’t track who downloads your book

We Collect Their Email Address, You Import the CSV

Available On: Mid-List, Bestseller, & Publisher Plans

Use an email signup page on BookFunnel and it will act as your landing page and delivery page, all in one! You can design a beautiful, custom landing page on BookFunnel in minutes. No web expertise necessary.

You drive reader traffic to your email signup page on BookFunnel and we will collect their email address on your behalf. We store their email address (and optionally first and last name) in a CSV on your dashboard.

You can then import the CSV of subscribers into Mad Mimi at your convenience. Follow these steps:

1. Create an email signup page on BookFunnel that requires (or invites) readers to join your mailing list.
2. Drive reader traffic to your BookFunnel signup page.
3. Export the CSV of reader email addresses every day or two from BookFunnel and manually import it to Mad Mimi.

Pros: Saves time by eliminating the extra step of building a landing page on your own website, if your link is shared online, those extra subscribers can be added to your mailing list

Cons: You need to export the CSV of reader email addresses we collect on your behalf and import it to Mad Mimi regularly.

How to Export a CSV and Import it to Mad Mimi Manually

1. Click Landing Pages on your BookFunnel dashboard
2. Click the name of the landing page
3. Click Export CSV
4. Select Export New Subscribers (do not click this more than once, large CSVs may take a minute or two to be generated and available for download!)
5. This will save the CSV to your computer, likely in your Downloads folder

Next, you will import the CSV to Mad Mimi:

1. Log into your Mad Mimi dashboard
2. Click Audience at the top of the screen.
3. Click +Add Contacts and an import window will pop open.
4. Select Many at a time.
