Unlike your normal, everyday Sharing Buttons, Upshare’s responsive, cloud-based sharing buttons have been specifically designed to help boost viral growth without slowing down load time. >> CLICK HERE to download plugin With Upshare Viral Sharing Buttons, as users start Sharing your content on their favorite Social Networks, you can track their sharing behavior and get viral growth data, and (coming soon) users can get points they can cash in for cool stuff in the Upshare Store. Users sign up for UP once by expanding the UP icon, then each time they’re Sharing your content across Social Networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or LinkedIn, they get points – and you get powerful cross-network Social data on how your users are Sharing your content on their social networks. You can also turn OFF the UP icon if you simply want simple, cloud-based, responsive sharing buttons that work on the web and mobile WITHOUT sharing incentives. However, if you keep the up icon ON, users don’t even need to share using your Social Sharing Buttons for you to get incredibly detailed viral data – they can just copy and paste the link or share in any other way, and we’ll be able to track what they share automatically.

You also want your site to be PROMOTED to other users who are sharing similar sites on their social networks and social media accounts.
