What is Sumo Me?
SumoMe is app that you can use that allows you to maximize your sharing and e-mail subscribers, however those are not the only benefits, it’s really easy to use and there are a host of other uses for the app. We’ll get into all those soon.
There are so many cool features that make it really easy for readers to share your content across the internet. Images can be shared on Twitter, Facebook and of course Pinterest. Highlight text and share on twitter just like tweetme. There’s pop-ups for email collecting and a host of analytics features as well.
Sharing On Steroids
The first thing you may notice when you land on a website using SumoMe are the share buttons that look surprisingly like the flare buttons that so many websites use for social sharing. There’s no doubt in my mind that this type of social sharing column encourages users to share your content. I’ve only had it installed for a week or so and I can already see up 43% upturn of my content been shared.
Highlighter sharing
A coolio feature is that tweets generated through highlighter will both link to your article and include your Twitter username. This builds traffic to your site as well as giving a boost to your twitter profile and building your following. Adding your Twitter username is as easy as typing it into the highlighter settings – what I loved is you don’t have to give access to your Twitter account via the twitter API, it’s all handled by SumoMe.
Image Sharer
Ever noticed how some websites and blogs make it supa easy to share their images on social networks like Pinterest?
As these images link back to your article, people who share your images on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook can drive significant traffic to your website. The ImageSharer function makes it easy for you to add good looking image sharing to your site with just a single click of the button. The share icons on the images are only visible when the image is hovered over… Try it below.
Pinterest users spend more time on social than other social network visitors. Making it easy for your visitors to share their favorite images from your blog on Pinterest will help you unlock a huge source of valuable traffic.
Facebook get 84% more click-throughs than text posts (according to KISSmetrics)? So share your awesome SEO’d images on Facebook with just a click of the button.
Twitter according to Buffer, image tweets on Twitter get 2x the engagement of text tweets! So, every time one of your readers shares an image from your site, you’re getting the same benefit of two tweets!
As you can see the ImageSharer makes it really easy to add image sharing for the three big social networks without any coding or mind boggling setup.
The List Builder
The most important asset you can add to a blog is email capture. As you build your email subscriber list, promoting your new posts becomes faster and more effective as you can quickly send a notification to 1000’s (if you are lucky) of interested people who want to ready your content.
While most email subscription boxes are static widgets in your sidebar, the list builder SumoMe uses gets extra attention and higher signup rates by launching an unobtrusive popover signup box. You can decide whether this box loads manually after the visitor has been on your page for a few seconds or automatically when the mouse moves away from the page (much like an exit pop). I’ve got mine set up to appear when the reader scrolls down 75% of the page, scroll a little further and you’ll se mine.
The email list builder will certainly help you grow your audience quicker than ever. It easily connects with all the mainstream email providers including Aweber, MailChimp, Constant Contact, GetResponse and Campaign Monitor. This means that if you use an email manager like Aweber, your new subscribers can automatically subscribe to your list in a jiffy. Also, you can set List Builder to collect email addresses that you can export in CSV format cool huh!
The email form is easily customizable. So you can change the wording, confirmation message, and colours to match the rest of your website.
Analytics Help
Heatmaps have you ever used a heat-map on your website? They are truly eye an opening addition to analytics, Using a heat map allows you can see where your visitors click or don’t on your site..
Which certainly helps with where you place your links and images on a post or page, allowing you to optimize your content to ensure maximum click throughs.
Another addition to the SumoMe analytics is the ability to see how far the readers scroll down your posts. The app shows how far as a % visitors go through your posts.

One last thing I need to tell you about SumoMe that you need to know… The app really has minimal draw on wordpress resources which is awesome as a fast loading site is definitely a bonus.
