Social Sharing Buttons

Social Sharing buttons (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) at the bottom of your Emails and Pages allow your customers to share those emails and pages to their social media accounts and spread the word about your amazing business 🎉

Social sharing buttons are an important way for you to generate brand awareness.

NOTE! If you’re looking to add Social Media Icons to the default footer of your Website and Membership sites that link to your social media accounts, head over to this guide.

Simplero offers several places to add your Social Sharing Buttons…

How to add Social Sharing Buttons to your Site and Landing Pages

When you add Social Sharing buttons to your pages, you'll see buttons on the bottom of your page. These Sharing buttons will show in addition to the Social media icons you’ve already added to the bottom of your footer via your Site configuration page (see this guide).

If you prefer, you can turn off the Default footer in your Page Settings so your page only shows the Sharing buttons:

Website Pages:

1. Select Marketing from your Simplero Dashboard.

2. Choose Main website from the dropdown menu.

3. Select the Pages tab.

4. Click on the Editor button on the left next to the Page title (ie. Home or About):
   
   
   

5. In the Sections tab, click the + Add section button:
   
   
   

6. Find and select the Sharing section:
   
   
   

7. Click the Save changes button and you're all set.
   
   

NOTE! Social Media Icons and Social Sharing Buttons each serve a different purpose, so it’s valuable to include both on your pages.

But sometimes you might just want to show the Social Sharing buttons on the page and hide the Social Media Icons in your Website Footer.

If that’s the case, here’s how to do it…

1. Select the Page Settings from the Editor, scroll to the Layout section and mark the Hide footer box
   
   
   

2. Click the Save changes button and you'll now only see the Social Sharing buttons on the bottom of your Page (the Footer will be hidden).
   
   

Membership Site Pages

1. Select Content from your Simplero Dashboard.

2. Choose Membership Sites from the dropdown menu.
