We all know that WordPress plugins can add super functionality to your website, and I've come across a few that I absolutely LOVE!

In no particular order:

Thirsty Affiliates - I know the plugin that WA recommends to make nice looking affiliate links is Pretty Links Lite, but I like Thirsty Affiliates better. The main reason is that I don't have to A) leave the post I'm working on to add a new link or get a pretty link, and B) I can quickly add a new affiliate link.

Thirsty Affiliates adds 2 buttons to your visual editor, 1 for links that you've already added in to the plugin, and the 2nd button is if you have a new affiliate link that you want to quickly add in to your page or post. So you never have to leave what you're working on.

Here's the link to the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/

Click To Tweet - You may have seen this plugin in action on many websites. It provides you with a special Twitter Box so visitors can automatically send a tweet right from your post.

This plugin allows you to easily create tweetable content for your readers. Using a simple shortcode, your selected text is highlighted and made tweetable.

Append Link On Copy - This one is SUPER COOL!! Basically, if someone tries to copy content from your website, the text will automatically end with "Read More At: www.yourwebsite.com/yourpost".

Now if the person who is copying content off of your page is polite and actually wants to give credit where credit is due, this plugin will do that for them.
