Social Marketing

Who wants a freebie?

The answer it would seem, is everyone!

How do you harness that power? Simple.

Social Marketing is a new plugin that allows you to create a ton of interest around your product or service by harnessing the real power of social networking.

Using Social Marketing on your site:

Visitors are enticed by a coupon, discount code, download or other incentive
Simply liking on facebook, retweeting, mentioning on google+ or linked in unlocks the incentive
Add your marketing into any post/page easily through a simple button in the WordPress editor

That’s the ‘big secret’ you could pay super-duper SEO gurus or marketing specialists to help you promote your online business or startup.

You can see this in action from Amazon.com to Wal*Mart. The big guys know the value of enticing folks through a special offer. They spend the time and effort on this practice because, at the end of the day, it’s totally worth it.

And while you could put forward your own hard-earned cash, you could also just grab this plugin, create it yourself in minutes, sit back and watch social networking do it’s thing!

Our plugin makes thinks simple to set up and the included wizard guides provides a step-by-step guide to completion.

Other features include:

Guided 3-step tutorial
Uses custom post types – no extra tables in database!
4 unique pre-configured styling options
Enable or disable any of the sharing services on individual ads
Ability to disable styling and use your own

Bonus:

Combine Social Marketing with our Scheduled Content plugin to create a limited-time offer!
