Social Warfare Pro Review
With so many social sharing plugins on the market, how do you choose the right one for you?
Social Warfare would like to answer this question with a novel approach. Not only do they provide an easy to use plugin that looks great on your blog but the Pro version focuses on how your content looks off your blog. That is the key distinction with Social Warfare, so lets see if it delivers.
What is Social Warfare?
Social Warfare is a WordPress plugin designed to lightly sit on top of your entire WordPress site to encourage people to share your content. You have complete control over where and how it displays and most importantly how it looks off your website on networks like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Social Warfare (parent company BeWarfare) have three plugins in their arsenal as of right now and they include:
- Social Warfare “Lite”
- Social Warfare Pro
- Social Warfare – AffiliateWP integration (very good tool for your affiliates to share product pages with their links)
The free version of Social Warfare which you can get here. (Highly recommended)
And once you are comfortable with the basic controls your next question will be why go Pro? So let us have a look at those features now
Social Warfare Pro vs Free
A few thoughts on the above
Don't get me wrong as a free plugin Social Warfare does more than some other paid options out there – it really is a great tool. It has the six most popular networks of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, Google+ and Mix and gives you full control on how the buttons display including animations and floating. It also has the click to tweet button with a number of styles to choose from to stand out from the rest of your content. So all in all a great tool and free!
But Social Warfare Pro version really shines not so much in the fact that it has more networks to allow people to share but rather in the fact that it allows the control of how your content displays for example on Twitter. Consider this example:
Tweet 1
Tweet 2
Which would you click?
I'm sure most agree that tweet 2 would be the winner purely because of its use of a well sized image that is clear and not pixelated compared to a tweet with no visuals whether jpeg or gif. Gif is a whole other story on how much more clicks it can get and Social Warfare Pro has you covered with all these options.
And this is the power of going Pro – when you have complete control on how each post renders on each social network you stand a much greater chance of getting more clicks to your website and getting a snowball effect of even more shares.
Do I recommend it?
Free version 100% yes! It's easy to use and looks great.
Pro Version for as little as $29 per year to give you access to more networks and options to customize appearance and behavior of the sharing widgets is also excellent value for money.
However, I have found a coupon code option for Social Warfare Pro plans that firmly puts me in the 100% recommendation for this plugin. Keep scrolling to find out details.
Social Warfare Coupon or Discount?
Yes there is a deal for Social Warfare Pro plans but it requires you to sign-up to their newsletter.
There are also seasonal sales for Social Warfare like Black Friday where you could save 50% off too. That makes Social Warfare Pro even more of a steal at just $14.50 per year.
I will display any other Social Warfare coupon codes found below (if any):
