Description: |
We want to have about a dozen or so freebie websites where the visitor is able to watch a free video lesson. Below the video, there are instructions to the effect of "If you'd like to receive the free PDF that goes with this video, simply input your email below and it will be sent to you." I've been doing this on the sites that we have so far with things like Joomla and its extensions, and another autoresponder thing I bought a year or so ago. The problem I have is that each of these websites deposits the collected email addresses in its own file or database and it's a pain to manage.
What I want is to be able to have all email addresses go into one central database that I can then export and work with from there instead of having to login to each one, export, then add to the master and all that. I would of course like to be able to receive an email notification for when a new person subscribes on each of the sites as well.
I'm not asking for a dozen sites to be built. I simply need someone that can set up PHPList so that the forms on the various sites all deposit the submitted form info into on place/list. I plan to use my Godaddy hosting account that allows for unlimited domains. So I picture PHPlist being installed under the main hosting account and go from there...
Here is an example scenario so you can understand the process:
You find one of our free sites, let's call it www.frelessonsite1.com. You watch the 30 minute video on that site and read that there is a supporting PDF file that you can get by completing a simple form. The form is on the same page, below the video somewhere. You fill in your name, email, comments, captcha?, etc. and hit the submit button. After about 30 seconds or so, you get an email message with that supporting PDF attached and the process is complete (for the user)
On the admin end of things, I get an email notification that someone signed up on freelessonsite1.com and it shows me the info he put into the form.
On the backend script, the form data he enters goes into a database.
Now, fast forward a day later. A new guy comes along and finds freelessonsite2.com. Watches video, fills out form and gets an email with a different PDF attached. I also get a notification email and his form info goes into the SAME database.
And the same thing happens for all the freelesson websites that I create. Then when it comes time for a new product announcement, etc, I go to that one database and export all the emails in one shot to my other service I use for emailing.

I was told that this could be accomplished with PHPList by having "different subscribe pages." I have already successfully installed PHPList on my Godaddy webhosting so that doesn't have to be done.
