We'll show you how to create a visually stunning popup and make it open on click.

The first thing you need to do is create a risk-free account with OptinMonster . Once you’ve signed up, you can install the OptinMonster plugin on your website to get started.

Then just follow the next steps.

1. Create your pop-up campaign

There are two ways to access the OptinMonster dashboard to create campaigns. You can log in to your account on the OptinMonster website and create a new campaign here:

You can also visit your WordPress admin dashboard and select OptinMonster » Dashboard to access the same dashboard.

When you open the panel, you will see options to create new pop-ups, floating rich people database bars, slide-ins, and more.

To create a lightbox popup, select Popup , and OptinMonster will generate a list of templates that are readily available to create your campaign.

OptinMonster has over 100 pre-built templates for you to choose from, all of which look great on mobile, desktop, and tablet devices.

These templates can save you hours of time in the design process. But you also have the option to create a campaign from scratch with the Canvas template .

Today, we'll be using the Magnet template for this tutorial. When you select the template, you'll be prompted to enter a name for your campaign.

You'll then be taken to the OptinMonster campaign editor where you can customize your template.

2. Create your pop-up campaign

OptinMonster has a visual editor, which means you can edit the popup as it would appear on your website.

You can start by editing the title. Simply select the title and the text editing options will automatically appear above it.
