With the world turning towards social, the use of social media share buttons are a must for every internet entity, then whether it will be a site, a blog or even web software. These social media share buttons can help significantly impact your site’s presence on the global scale as well as give the site visitors an extra way to spread the love. While there are hundreds of thousands of social media plugins available out there, but the best one will be the one which is a light-weight, easy to use and simple in nature.

On trying my hands out on the plugin name Floating Social Bar, I feel I found the one which I am looking onto from quite a good time as the plugin brings all the things which I am looking for. The plugin developed by Syed Balkhi (WPBeginner) and Thomas Griffin (author of Soliloquy slider). The plugin supports all major social media networks including Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and Pinterest while the best part the plugin brings in is the ability which allows the eye-catching social media bar which gets you maximum shares in return.
