I believe there is hardly any publisher out there who doesn’t want to make some extra money. Certainly the answer is simple that yes everyone wants to make money, but what about if one makes money with the social sharing platform that they have been using on their WordPress blog or a website.
Po.st is the one such social sharing platform which offers publishers the ability to monetize the social activity on their site. The plugin will display “after-the-share units” which in turn will make it easy for publishers to generate revenue from a 300X250 ad units which appears within the social sharing confirmation box.
The plugin includes access to all major social channels on display with which one can share, like and follow the publisher’s content. The social channel it comes with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, email among others. The plugin gives publishers the freedom to choose an array of button styles as well, choosing from small, medium or large buttons, placed vertically or horizontally, with or without share counters.

Summary & Review
The Po.st plugin is fairly a good choice when one in searching for a good social share plugin as it offers all the social networks sharing at one single place. Moreover with its ability to let publishers monetize their blogs with an additional way – thanks to their “after-the-share ad units” – it got its 10 on 10 and highly recommended.
