Proven Way to Boost Your Social Shares (and its GDRP Complaint)
One of the easiest ways to get more shares on your website is with the “locking” action. The locking action will allow the visitor to continue reading a website or get access to specific content only when do a share action. Simple and effective method. But it has one big disadvantage – it is not a GDPR complaint. So if you want to keep the privacy of your visitors using a traditional locker won’t be an option.
That is why we create a special method in Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress called Share Booster. Share Booster feels and looks like a social locker but it is not such. The technique used by Share Booster is to lock the screen based on various events and ask users to share and then continue reading but the user can cancel that at any time. And that method is privacy safe and GDPR complaint – the user is not tracked or there is no personal information collected.
You may say that this, not a real locker, and everyone can bypass it easily. And you are partly right about that – you will have 10% geek visitors that can do the trick. But for the rest, it will look and feel like they need to do the action before moving on. Even that is not a real locker the method used can help grow your shares fast and with ease.
