TLDR takes a whole new approach to lead generation from your content. Instead of interrupting your website visitors by firing tons of popups, welcome mats and scrolling boxes, TLDR actually improves the experience of your users.

Using TLDR you can add short summaries for each of your blog posts and then embed relevant call-to-action (CTA) boxes at the end to offer content upgrades and capture email address data. Not only are you reducing the bounce rate from your longer content but you’re able to add relevant and non-intrusive CTAs closer to the top of your content.

Features of TLDR include:

Add a custom TLDR summary button to your blog posts.
Add individual CTAs to any of your blog posts that sit within the summary section.
CTA clicks and button clicks are automatically tracked in Google Analytics.
Summaries only appear on posts that you choose, otherwise the option will be hidden.
Embed your own custom forms by adding shortcodes within the summary sections.
Completely customise the design of your CTA boxes and the TLDR button within the plugin settings.
Works seamlessly on mobile, unlike a lot of other lead generation tools.

\n","installation":"

Upload the entire ‘TLDR’ folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Go to one of your blog posts within the WordPress admin area and add a custom summary and CTA within the meta box below the main post editor.
Customise the way your TLDR button and CTAs look.

\n","faq":"\n

Does this plugin integrate with tools like MailChimp?

Not directly. At the moment, the CTAs will just link your visitors through to landing pages, so there are no forms built-in. That said, this may be a feature that gets built out in the future.

Do I have to add summaries to all of my blog posts?

No. The summary button will only display on blog posts where you have added a summary or CTA.

Can I change the way the CTA boxes look?

Yes. The appearance of both the summary button and CTA boxes can be completely customer within the plugin settings.

Will I be able to track CTA clicks within Google Analytics?

Yes. The plugin has been set up so that it will automatically do this if you use the WordPress SEO plugin from Yoast. If not, you can easily set this up using Google Tag Manager.

This WordPress plugin was originally developed so that I could track how many social shares my content was getting. I didn’t just want to know the stats for the content I published on my own website, but also the numerous articles that I’d written in other online publications. The result was my Social Footprint plugin.

After using the plugin for over a year I decided that it was too useful to keep to myself. That said, I didn’t want to charge people to use it so I’ve offered this out for free, forever.

Uploading your content into the plugin couldn’t be easier. Simply click on the ‘Import WordPress Posts’ button and the plugin will pull through all the posts on your site and then gather social share stats for them. You can then arrange the columns in ascending/descending order to quickly see your top and worst performing content.

When it comes to sourcing the right stats for you, I’ve set the plugin up so that you can choose which social networks you will get stats for. Stats for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, StumbleUpon and Reddit are all currently supported by the plugin.

As I mentioned, it’s not just your WordPress content that you can analyse. There’s a built-in feature that allows you to add in URLs from any website and gather instant stats on their social media performance. There’s even a bulk upload option where you can import a list of URLs from a Windows .csv file.

\n","installation":"

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

\n","faq":"\n

Will I ever have to pay for the data within Social Footprint?

No. Never.

Can I download all of the data into a spreadsheet?

Not right now but it’s a feature I’m looking at adding.

What about Twitter data?

Like the majority of tools that used to offer Twitter share count data, it’s not available anymore. This is because Twitter shut down their count API on November 20th 2015 (source: https://blog.twitter.com/2015/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-platform).
