How to Boost Your Social Shares Immediately With the Social Warfare Plugin

How to Boost Your Social Shares Immediately With the Social Warfare Plugin

Would you like to get more social shares on your blog?

While there’s no shortage of social media sharing plugins to add sharing buttons to your blog or website, how do you know which one you should use?

Most of them are very basic, can cause your site to run slow, and offer limited functionality.

In this article, I’m going to review the Social Warfare Plugin.

You’ll learn why it’s different from other social plugins and how it can actually help you increase shares almost immediately on your site and so much more!

What is the Social Warfare Plugin?

The Social Warfare Plugin is a beautiful and feature-rich WordPress plugin that adds responsive share buttons and total share counts to your site in seconds all without needing to edit any code.

It was created by Dustin Stout, Jason Wiser, and Nicholas Cardot, three guy’s with a strong background in visual design which is reflected in the Social Warfare plugin’s design.

In addition to being able to quickly add sharing buttons to your site, the Social Warfare plugin is unique because they’ve also included other powerful features such as click-to-tweet and the ability to upload an image for use on Pinterest.

Typically, you have to pay for these two features separately. Social Warfare has included both of them in their plugin.

Example of click-to-tweet

Include a custom tweet in your posts to better engage with your readers

5 Ways to Add Social Media Sharing Plugins For Easier Sharing

5 Ways to Add Social Media Sharing Plugins For Easier Sharing

Do you wish your blog or website received more traffic?

While you can try and figure out how Google works, that’s a bit of a mystery.

You can also find many SEO tips that can teach you how to improve your writing and boost your search ranking to bring people back to your site.

But not all of us are SEO experts nor do we have the time to optimize our content properly.

An easier way is to use social media channels like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to help amplify your content, reach more people, and drive them back to your site.

A quick way to add these social networks to your site is to use social media sharing plugins.

In this article, I’m going to share with you five of my favorite social media sharing plugins that you can add to your site right now.

What are social media sharing plugins?

If you’re not a coder, you’ll appreciate using social media sharing plugins.

They let you add a list of social media channels to your blog or website without touching a line of code.

This way your readers can easily share your content on their favorite social networks.

What’s great is that you can add them to your site in just a few minutes and start to generate leads using social media.

Why do I need social media buttons on my site?

Not making it easy for readers to share your content is a missed opportunity. Here’s why.

Click To Tweet

You can have them copy the URL and then go to their favorite site to share your content, but that takes too many steps.

It is important to make it as easy as possible for them to share your content.

This can save them time and help amplify your content to their audience, leading to more traffic back to your site!

While there are lots of ways to add social media buttons, you could spend hours deciding which one you should add.

Having tried many of the social sharing plugins, I put together a list of my favorite ones.

Let’s take a look at my favorite plugins for sharing your content on social media channels.

Holiday shopping statistics with social media – Infographic

Holiday shopping statistics with social media – Infographic

Can you really sell products over the holidays through social media? This collection of holiday shopping statistics provides a look into how customers like to shop through social media.

Personally, I believe that a lot of users use social media channels to do their holiday shopping.

This collection of holiday shopping statistics can help to give you a better idea on what channels you should consider using to sell products through social media.

Remember, you want to be sure to always ask your audience what they prefer. If you try selling products through one social media channel and you don’t have a strong presence and your customers don’t use the site much, don’t expect strong holiday sales figures.

So where are most users doing their holiday shopping at? Is it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or another social media channel? Let’s find out.

Here are a few of my favorite holiday shopping statistics.

  • 64.8% of shoppers use social media to find the perfect gift
  • 44.3% of shoppers discover holiday deals through peer recommendations
  • 67% of shoppers purchased a gift they found on social media
  • 39.3% of shoppers said Facebook influenced their holiday buying habits
  • 67.2% of holiday shoppers prefer to share digital coupons

While holiday shopping statistics suggest that shoppers prefer Facebook, don’t overlook Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Keep reading to learn what other social media channels you should leverage to drive sales over the holidays.

Why you shouldn’t worry about numbers

20111201-131659.jpg

For some reason everyone thinks that in order to be successful with social media, you have to have a large fan base. While having a large number of fans may help you sell more products at a faster rate (think volume here), the question you should really be asking yourself is are you engaging with your fans and are you getting closer to reaching your goals for your business.

Think about it. If I Continue reading Why you shouldn’t worry about numbers
