Hey there, welcome back! This is Dan Havey with CF Ninja Hacks. Today, I'm diving into using digital assets inside your ClickFunnels 2.0 account. Now, keep in mind that as of November 2022, this process might be a bit clunky and could change over time. Let's get started!

First, head into your settings and navigate to your assets, specifically the downloads section. In ClickFunnels 1.0, this was known as digital assets. Here, you can upload a file. It's pretty straightforward – just click on the upload button. If you have a file on your desktop, you should be able to drag and drop it into the upload area. Let’s find a PDF to upload. Here’s one called "Five Secrets". I’m not sure where it came from, but it will work for our example. So, let's upload that PDF.

Now, here's where it gets tricky. After uploading, you might not see any immediate indication that the file was uploaded. Let's try it again. Scroll down to the PDF, click open, and... nothing seems to happen. It’s a bit finicky, but this is how it’s supposed to work. If it doesn't seem to be working, you can always try an existing file. 

Next, you need to right-click on the file you’ve uploaded and copy the link address. If you click on the file directly, it will just download to your device. Now, head over to a funnel page – it could be any page, really. Let’s use a button on this page. Open the button settings, set it to go to a custom URL, and paste the link you copied. Make sure it doesn’t open in a new window because we want the file to download directly.

Save your changes and preview the page. When you click the button, it should download the PDF right to your device, just like we wanted. You can also do this with text elements by turning the text into a link and pasting the same URL.

Lastly, you can use this link in an email. When your customers click the link in the email, it will open their default browser and download the PDF. It's a bit clunky right now, but this is the current method for working with digital assets in ClickFunnels 2.0. If you have any questions, just let me know!
