Social Snap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If I&#8217;m going to share a list of the best plugins, might as well start with the one I personally use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/socialsnap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"442\">Social Snap<\/a>&nbsp;is a lightweight WordPress plugin that integrates professional sharing buttons in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of the social plugins for bloggers that you only have to install once and forget about. And after a few minutes with the plugin, I&#8217;m convinced that it&#8217;s perfect for my needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why I didn&#8217;t hesitate when I finalized my <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/go\/socialsnap\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"443\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"SocialSnap\">Social Snap Pro subscription<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1722\" height=\"1042\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Pro-Subscription.png\" alt=\"Social Snap Pro Subscription Details\" class=\"wp-image-3540125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Pro-Subscription.png 1722w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Pro-Subscription-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Pro-Subscription-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Pro-Subscription-1024x620.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1722px) 100vw, 1722px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Social Snap features a handful of customization options. These make it easier to blend the plugin with any design scheme you have structured for your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust the shape, color, and animation of every button. Best of all, none of your customization efforts will have any impact on your blog&#8217;s performance \u2014&nbsp;as you can see on my site. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Standard and Floating Share Buttons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully Responsive Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gutenberg-Friendly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click-To-Tweet Boxes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plugin Add-Ons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supports 30+ Social Media Networks with Pro Plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Social Snap<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the introduction earlier, you should\u2019ve guessed that Social Snap takes very little setup to use. As a matter of fact, the floating sidebar and inline buttons are already enabled by default after installing the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1652\" height=\"1188\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Enable-Sidebar.png\" alt=\"Social Snap Sidebar Toggle\" class=\"wp-image-3039977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Enable-Sidebar.png 1652w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Enable-Sidebar-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Enable-Sidebar-768x552.png 768w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Enable-Sidebar-1024x736.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1652px) 100vw, 1652px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The settings pages mainly use radio buttons and checkboxes. This means even absolute beginners will have no problems making the most out of Social Snap right off the bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason why I went with Social Snap is the \u201cSocial Followers\u201d feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, it allows you to showcase your social media statistics \u2014 specifically <em>follower count <\/em>across networks \u2014 on your blog. It also comes with useful \u201cfollow\u201d buttons that can instantly turn blog readers into social media followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use it, click <strong>\u2018Social Followers\u2019 <\/strong>from the main menu and click <strong>\u2018Manage Networks.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1506\" height=\"904\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Social-Followers-Manage-Networks.png\" alt=\"Social Snap Manage Network\" class=\"wp-image-3039979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Social-Followers-Manage-Networks.png 1506w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Social-Followers-Manage-Networks-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Social-Followers-Manage-Networks-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Social-Followers-Manage-Networks-1024x615.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>From there, you can set up your accounts for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and a few other social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry \u2014 you don\u2019t have to provide your full account credentials. Since Social Snap only needs to pull in the number of followers, your username and profile URL should suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1908\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Manage-Networks-Setup.png\" alt=\"Social Snap Manage Your Networks\" class=\"wp-image-3039978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Manage-Networks-Setup.png 1908w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Manage-Networks-Setup-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Manage-Networks-Setup-768x369.png 768w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Manage-Networks-Setup-1024x492.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1908px) 100vw, 1908px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you have the budget, Social Snap has a small collection of add-ons that\u2019s definitely worth a look. I, for one, am particularly excited for the \u201cAuto Poster\u201d and the upcoming \u201cContent Locker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2198\" height=\"1416\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Add-Ons.png\" alt=\"Social Snap Add-Ons\" class=\"wp-image-3039975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Add-Ons.png 2198w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Add-Ons-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Add-Ons-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Social-Snap-Add-Ons-1024x660.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2198px) 100vw, 2198px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Anyhow, Social Snap\u2019s social sharing buttons do look great on any site layout. But for my taste, the floating sidebar works great since it doesn&#8217;t disrupt the user experience in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the finished product looks like on my site:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1638\" height=\"892\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Preview.png\" alt=\"Social Snap in Action\" class=\"wp-image-3540116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Preview.png 1638w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Preview-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Preview-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Social-Snap-Preview-1024x558.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT:&nbsp;<\/strong>If you&#8217;re planning to purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/go\/socialsnap\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"444\" data-lasso-name=\"SocialSnap\" target=\"_blank\">Social Snap Pro<\/a>, don&#8217;t forget to use the coupon code &#8220;<em><strong>MasterBlogging<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; for a 20% discount!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"socialpug\">2.
