Why Use the SumoMe Plug-in?

The image above is what's possible (among other things) with the free SumoMe plugin.

Notice the Social Sharing icons on the left AND the cool pop-over with email submit form - both done with one single plug-in!


Sidebar: I recently created training on the MailMunch Plugin, which works great IF you already have a Social Sharing plug-in installed, you're happy with it and simply want to add an email opt-in form for a newsletter or autoresponder. Please see that training here, if that's your wish:

FREE Pop-Up Email Subscribe Optin - The MailMunch Method


Yes, it can easily be done with two plug-ins, but as you may or may not know, the more plug-ins we have, the more processes consumed and this slows down our page load speeds. And, slow page load speed is not good for SEO or your visitors. We can lose a LOT of website traffic if our home page is loading slowly - first impressions and all.

Other Features of SumoMe that are available:

And, this is not the entire feature list - just some.

Not all of these are free, but you can pick and choose the ones you want to use in addition to the free features.

List Builder Example

Scroll Box Example

Welcome Mat Example

As you can see, this is a pretty powerful little tool. And, for one plugin, it's fairly robust. As with the MailMunch plug-in I covered recently, this plug-in makes a connection to another server (SumoMe server) where you setup most of what you'll be using.


Okay, so let's get this puppy installed and configured for both Social Sharing and Email Subscriptions.

When I tried to move my icons from the left to above and below the article, I can not. It is saying that I have to upgrade to SharePro to override the default settings.

That's very unusual Suzette. For the test website I created for this training, I used a new install of SumoMe and everything was totally free. Is yours a new install of the SumoMe plugin?

Hi PJ, I went and looked. I have version 1.10. It was updated a month ago. States it is the latest version. BUT it also says that this plugin ha not been tested with my current version of wordpress. That concerns me. Does this mean I have to update my wordpress version or it is a conflict with my theme?

Great tutorial PJ, I've been looking at this one closely and will get it sorted soon. I will also bookmark this as I think I'm going to need the help getting it all up and running :)

One question I have, are you allowed to use the paid functions on multiple sites or do you have to pay for each one?
