This plug-in gives you the ability to easily share your pages and posts to various social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, WhatsApp and many more.
This plugin is an email opt-in plugin that works by adding email opt-in forms to your website, each of which can connect to your email newsletter software( MailChimp etc.). When someone signs up using the Bloom opt-in form, they get added to your email list. With Bloom, you can create different types of opt-in forms( pop-ups, fly-ins, etc).
I use this to you manage my WordPress websites from one place. I use this mostly for my clients that are subscribed to a WordPress Monthly Care package. Care packages include updates, backups, performance reports and more.
I use this to create an e-commerce solution for my clients. Woo-commerce can be used to sell digital products as well as custom branded physical products.
SEO is very important. I use this plug-in to help my clients optimize their site and content.
