Hey guys! Thank you so much for joining
me. My name is Jennifer Franklin and I
help entrepreneurs get their websites
created and launched quickly without
stressing out over design or tech. In
today's video, I'm going to show you how
to easily get a free resource library
set up on your WordPress website. Are you
ready? Let's go! I have my motivational
coach website pulled up. If you're
interested in purchasing this exact
website, you can do so on my
website and I'll leave a link in the
comments below. I want to show you
today how to create a free resource
library to use to generate more opt-ins
on your website in order to grow your
list so that you can nurture your
audience over time and provide real
value in the form of videos,
worksheets, checklists. For this tutorial
I'm going to be using a plugin called
Beaver Builder which is a page builder.
If you aren't sure what a page builder
does it simply helps you build
WordPress pages quickly and easily with
a drag-and-drop functionality. You can
see here I have Beaver Builder plugin,
the standard version, installed. Now what we have to do is
we're going to go up to the top here
where it says "NEW" and we're going to
create a new page. This is going to be
the page for our resource library. We
can call it, actually we can just name it
that, resource library. We'll give it a
title, we'll call it resource library. 
When we publish that page
is a unique URL is created.
When I show "view page" it should be
/resource - library/. You'll see how
that works. This is our resource
library page. It looks really boring. The
first thing we want to do is we're going
to want to make this password protected.
I'm going to head back to edit page, and
over on the right hand side you'll see
where it says "status and visibility,"
it says visibility is set to public.
We're going to click on that button and
we're going to set to password protected.
I'm going to make a secure password. For now I'm just gonna say "SECRET."
That will be our password. You can think of something unique for your page and then
it'll still be there when you go back. 
You don't have to necessarily write it
down. We'll save that and then one
thing I wanted to check real
quick is our content layout. I know the
content for this website is set to
content boxed, so I want to go to full width and
stretched.
Let's head back out to our page and
for this, I'm going to start editing.
Click launch Beaver Builder.
Now, you'll notice that when we get back
out to the front the content is password
protected. To view it, please enter your
password below. We enter in our password. Click enter.
You'll notice that
over in the right-hand side our Beaver
Builder editor popped up and what we're
going to do is we're just going to work
with a row to start. I'd like to have
a nice three column row like this for my
resource library. The next thing I'm
going to do is I'm going to use a module
and we're actually going to use a photo
module. I'll just drag and drop the photo in
there. I already have some photos added 
to my library that I'm going to use so
I'm just going to go ahead and click on
that. These are nice size 370 pixels
by 550 pixels high. They're really nice
size that will look really nice.
I'm going to save that and I'm going to go
ahead and add a new photo all the way
across here. We're going to add another one. We will add the next one and we'll hit save.
Then we're going to add another photo here and we're going to hit save. You can see
how you can keep doing this all the way
across and it looks really nice. In our
free resource library we're going to
include resources and each one of these
photos is going to be representative of
a free resource. For example, I'm going
to be able to deliver these resources to
my audience when they click on the photo
image. To do that I have uploaded to
my Google Drive account here there's a
couple different opt-ins that
I have saved in my Google Drive. I use
Google because it's free, has lots of
storage space and I really like how easy
it is. You could also use Dropbox or
Adobe Acrobat to deliver
your PDFs as well. What I'll do here
is I need to click on this PDF.
In order to share this I click over
in the right-hand corner these three
dots and click on share. I
want to share it so that anyone can
VIEW, other options are EDIT or COMMENT. I
just want them to VIEW it, so I'm going
to copy the VIEW link. Now that I have
that link copied, I'm going to go back to
my library. I'll click on this photo. I'm
going to scroll down and for the link
type I'm going to change that to URL and
I'm going to paste in the link to my drive.
We'll have it open in a new window with
a nofollow and SAVE. That's really it.
Let's go to DONE and PUBLISH. Now that we've added
our secret password, we are on the page,
if I'm a visitor I can now click on this
photo image and it's going to pop up my
PDF for that image which is really nice
and clean. It opens in a new window so
that you can view or print it.
Alright guys, that's it! In today's video
I showed you how easy it is to create a
free resource library on your WordPress
website so that you can deliver real
value to your audience. If you have any
questions please feel free to leave me a
comment below. I look forward to talking
to you soon.
