SOCIAL NETWORKS

I need a plugin for people to share my blog posts. What is everyone using that looks the best and functions the best?

I use and recommend Next Scripts: Social Networks Auto Poster to post updated to Twitter, Facebook, and StumbleUpon.

I also use Shareaholic to add icons for vistors to share my content.

I vouch for this was using this on all my earlier Wordpress sites and worked flawlessly.

I use Sharaholic and have been happy with it. Only Wire has a plugin if you want to step it up a bit and make it easy on yourself.

After testing out a *lot* of free/paid plugins over the year, I now use two -

1. SumoMe Share
It has always been confusing to me why more people are not using this excellent free tool) http://sumome.com/.
It has much more than social share functions, but during one of my earlier research it did not add a lot significantly to the load times.

2. Social Locker
People almost *never* share unless you give an incentive to do that. You can provide a download, a valuable link or something else that people can unlock by sharing the link.
I use the free version - https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-locker/
You can also try the paid version which comes with many more functions.

  Though, I must admit, this isn't an arena I have a tremendous amount of knowledge in, I have a successful marketer friend that swears by a product called Easy Social Share Buttons. I think it cost him like $14 bucks.
  
  Funny, we were just talking about this the other day.

Well,
I think you should read the reviews about the addthis plugin... its not very good with a very rating.

https://wordpress.org/support/view/p...eviews/addthis

So I think you should think wisely about this plugin.

  I have to second SumoMe, the free versions of both the social share bar and the email list capture are terrific - though the paid versions do seem a bit over-priced.
  
  I still use both on my personal site and have set up clients with them.
  
  Thanks

I've been using The Simple Share Buttons Adder, which I really likes since it looks great, allows you to select from a range of the popular social media sites, you can have it show above/below/or top and below of each post, and you even get to write a custom message before the buttons.

I post my blogs to Twitter and Facebook. I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordtwit/ for Twitter since it allows for multiple accounts and scheduling of posts and then for Facebook, I prefer to schedule the post my self.

Whatever social media site you plan to submit to, you need to learn the reading habits of your readers. I know when I post to twitter, I have people from all around the US reading, so I spread out the schedule to post each article 4 times a day, every 5 hours.

On Facebook, I find if I stagger my posts (I post 3-5 new articles every week day) within 6 and 10 am, I get the most sharing and feedback.

Dig into your analytics to tweak your timing as you go, find out when your social media posts are read and when they are engaged.

Can anybody check how we integrated our social media plugins on our website - Kerala Honeymoon Packages, Honeymoon Tours Kerala, Book Honeymoon Package to Kerala? Do we get all benefits from social media? Any further advantage in using addthis or something similar plugins? This is been done by our website developer guy, an amateur.
