Banners are images on the download page that link wherever you choose. They are a good fit for offers that look better as a picture: a webinar, a course, a partner promotion or your own product.
You can add up to 5 banners. They show below the recommended resource cards on the download page of every funnel, and every banner click opens in a new window.
Where to find it:
Go to Free List Building, click the Settings tab and scroll to Download Page Resources & Banners. The second box is Download Page Banners.
Step by step:
- Click + Add Banner. A row called Banner 1 appears.
- Under Banner Image, click Upload Image. The WordPress Media Library opens. Upload your image or pick one, then confirm. The image address fills in and a small preview shows under the field. You can also paste an image address straight into the box.
- Under Click URL, paste the address the banner should open, for example your affiliate link or a page on your site.
- Type a short Alt Text, a plain description of the image for screen readers.
- Add more banners the same way, up to 5. The counter shows how many you have, for example 1/5.
- Click Save Settings.
To remove a banner, click the round x on its row and save.
Every setting:
- Banner Image (required): the picture. A row with no image is left out when you save. Wide images work best, for example 1200 by 240 pixels. The page shows it up to 420 pixels wide and scales it down on phones.
- Click URL: where the banner goes. The label marks it as required. If you save a banner without one, the plugin saves it anyway and shows the notice "No Click URL set - banner will not be clickable", and the image shows without a link.
- Alt Text (optional): a short description such as Inbox Starter Course, free 7 day email course.
If you paste a web address into Alt Text and leave Click URL empty, the plugin moves the address into Click URL for you when you save and tells you so.
A real example:
Your Site promotes its free email course on every download page. Sam made a 1200 by 240 banner that reads Inbox Starter Course with a Start Free button, uploaded it with Upload Image, set the Click URL to https://yoursite.com/recommends/inbox-starter-course/ and saved. The banner now shows under the two resource cards on all 82 live funnels.
Tips:
- Make the banner readable at 420 pixels wide. Big text and one clear button work best.
- Use the same offer in a resource card and a banner only when it is your main offer. Otherwise give each slot its own job.
- A funnel can show its own banners instead of the global ones. See Global Settings vs. Per-Funnel Overrides.
- Track which banner gets the clicks with a tracking link. See Recommended: WP Conversion Tracker.
