How to add cool social media tools of GetSiteControl in Blogger?

Social Media tools are very important for bloggers. They'll help a blog to speak itself loud in various social media and then gain traffics. They'll help a blogger in discovering loyal readers and subscribers or followers for the ideas presented in the blog. 

They will make your blog more sticky in a sense that they'll increase the amount of time spent by every visitor across your blog. This means they'll reduce the bounce rate of your blog. A blog having bounce rate more than 50% is said to be professionally weak and poor. 


What are social media tools actually? In short, following of various social networking sites can be classified as social media tools:
  1. Follow Button
  2. Subscribe Button
  3. Pin Button  
  4. Share Button
  5. Chat Button
  6. Contact Button
  7. Recommended contents Button
There can be many more tools. But in one way or another, they'll come in line with above tools in their workings or intended purposes. 

The torch-bearers in providing such tools, I have come across in my thus-far blogging journey are:
  1. AddThis
  2. GetSiteControl
I have introduced AddThis tools in a post posted sometimes last year. If you've missed that time, you can get it read here

In today's tutorial, I am going to introduce another site that also provides free social media tools which are either better or equally professionally elegant compare to tools provided by AddThis. You can go through it and if you think you'll love that, get yourself registered and use their professional yet free services+tools. You can see its Share buttons and follow buttons in my blog. To get them, steps are as given below:

Step-1
Sign-up with GetSiteControl

Step-2
Confirm your email

Step-3
Go to its dashboard

Step-4
On its left side, click on Create a Widget

Step-5
Choose applicable widget (Follow and Share usually)

Step-6
Choose the appearances of a widget and click Content

Step-7
Add buttons, Facebook, Twitter, etc and Instagram and click Behavior

Step-8
Once done, scroll down and click OK and activate.

You're done and then if you visit your blog, the widget will start appearing in position where you have define in Appearance>Position. You can also use many other free tools (like survey, chat, contact, promo and subscribe etc). But unluckily we can use only in one blog unless you can go PRO.
