Description

Get More Viral Traffic With “Social Locker & Content Locker – Locker Cat”

Do you want to get more viral traffic and social shares? Look no further than Locker Cat.

Our social locker lets you hide content (text, videos, images, download links) from your visitors, until they share it on social media.

This works insanely well. Even though you work your butt off to craft quality content, you probably only get a handful of shares on your posts. It boils down to incentives – generally your readers have no reason to share your content.

This plugin – Social Locker & Content Locker – Locker Cat – solves this problem. Simply wrap your content inside of our [lockercat] shortcode, and your visitors will be required to share it in order to unlock it.

Here’s an example:

[lockercat]My locked content[/lockercat]

You can add this shortcode anywhere on your WordPress site, including your Posts and Pages.

Social lockers are a highly effective way to maximize your social shares and get more viral traffic.

Here are some ideas on how you can use a social locker to get more shares:

  • Give away bonus content, such as videos, images or whitepapers.
  • Partially hide blog posts from your readers

This Locker Cat plugin is very nice with responsive design, just like other Fat Cat App plugins I am using. It boosted my social share to about 50 shares/day and I am getting tons of traffic from Facebook. PS: This is the first review I am dropping on WordPress, I am too lazy to drop review but i cant help with this plugin that got me super excited.

Actually the plugin was good, it loads fast and doesnt really need a lot of codes to do. But – When someone share and close the popup button, you can see the lock content. – ^ if your done sharing you can see all of the lock content after that which is definitely wrong. Hopefully there would be a work around this. Thank You!

Almost social locker plugins require a premium version to unlock the function “social share locker”. But it’s so good when I could have a same function in this free version. But I found a error: When I clicked on button ‘Share’ to unlock a content, then I cancel the pop-up window, then the hidden content still appear although I don’t share anything yet. Could you guys fix that bug? Many thanks and best regards, Daniel
