<p>ViralMarketingWP enables you to create powerful viral marketing campaigns directly within WordPress. The plugin creates a complete referral system that encourages your users to share your content, products, or offers with their network, expanding your reach organically.</p>
<p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Campaign Creation</strong>: As an admin, you create a viral marketing campaign with custom rewards and an opt-in form. The plugin generates a shortcode that you can place on any page or post.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>User Opt-in</strong>: When visitors land on your page, they see an opt-in form where they enter their information (name, email, etc).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Campaign Dashboard</strong>: After opting in, users are directed to their personal “Campaign Dashboard” which displays:</p>
<ul>
<li>Their unique referral URL for sharing</li>
<li>Real-time statistics showing how many people they’ve referred</li>
<li>A visual representation of unlocked and upcoming rewards</li>
<li>Social sharing buttons for easy distribution</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Referral Sharing</strong>: Users share their unique referral URL with friends via social media, email, messaging apps, or any other channel. The plugin tracks all referrals coming from their link.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Reward System</strong>: As users accumulate referrals, they automatically unlock tiered rewards that you’ve defined. These rewards can be anything: discount codes, free products, exclusive content, early access, or any other incentive you want to offer.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Admin Tracking</strong>: From your WordPress dashboard, you can monitor campaign performance, view lead information, track referral statistics, and manage the entire process.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The viral mechanism is powerful – each new user becomes a potential promoter for your campaign, creating a multiplying effect that can dramatically increase your reach.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Easy Campaign Setup</strong>: Create unlimited viral marketing campaigns with customizable forms</li>

<h3>Usage</h3>
<h4>Creating Your First Campaign</h4>

<li>Save the campaign and copy the shortcode</li>
</ol>
<h4>Adding the Campaign to a Page</h4>
<ol>

<li>Paste the shortcode into the content editor: <code>[viralmarketingwp_campaign id="123"]</code> (replace “123” with your campaign ID)</li>
<li>Publish or update the page</li>
</ol>
<h4>Understanding the Campaign Dashboard</h4>
<p>The Campaign Dashboard is what users see after they opt-in. It includes:</p>
<ol>
<li>A personalized welcome message</li>
<li>The user’s unique referral URL prominently displayed</li>
<li>Copy-to-clipboard functionality for easy URL sharing</li>

<li>Visual progress indicators for reward tiers</li>
<li>Notification area for newly unlocked rewards</li>
</ol>
<h4>Setting Up Rewards</h4>
<ol>
<li>While creating or editing a campaign, scroll to the “Rewards” section</li>
<li>Click “Add Reward” to create a new reward tier</li>
<li>Enter a title and description for the reward</li>
<li>Specify the number of referrals required to unlock this reward</li>
<li>Add as many reward tiers as desired (e.g., 3 referrals, 10 referrals, 25 referrals)</li>
<li>Each reward can be anything: discount codes, free products, content access, etc.</li>
<li>Users automatically see when they’ve unlocked rewards</li>
</ol>
<h4>Managing Leads</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to “ViralMarketingWP > Leads” to view all leads</li>
<li>Filter leads by campaign to see campaign-specific leads</li>
<li>View detailed information about each lead including referral counts</li>
</ol>
<h4>Tracking Campaign Performance</h4>
<ol>

<li>See which referral sources generate the most sign-ups</li>
<li>Track which rewards are most effective at motivating users to share</li>
</ol>
<h4>How the Referral System Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>When a user signs up through the campaign form, they receive a unique referral URL</li>
<li>This URL contains a tracking parameter unique to that user</li>
<li>When someone clicks their link and then submits the opt-in form, the system attributes that new lead as a referral to the original user</li>
<li>The referring user’s referral count increases automatically</li>
<li>When their referral count reaches a reward threshold, that reward is automatically unlocked</li>
<li>Both the referring user and new sign-up can participate in the referral program, creating a viral loop</li>
</ol>

<li>Entry into a giveaway or contest</li>
<li>Account upgrades or premium features</li>
<li>Gift cards or store credit</li>
<li>Consultation or coaching sessions</li>
</ul>
<h3>Customization</h3>
<h4>CSS Customization</h4>
<p>The plugin includes well-structured CSS that can be easily customized. You can add custom CSS to your theme to override the default styles.</p>

A powerful WordPress plugin for creating viral marketing campaigns with referral tracking and reward systems.

<p><strong>Turn your content into a visibility machine.</strong> Content Publicity is a lightweight, privacy-friendly social sharing plugin that adds clean share buttons, a floating share bar, click-to-tweet pull-quote blocks, and an optional share counter to your WordPress posts — plus the unique “Super Suggest” feature that lets readers recommend your content to editors at Google News-approved publications.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Social share buttons</strong> — clean, modern in-content share button with multiple display styles</li>
<li><strong>Floating share bar</strong> — optional vertical sticky bar on the left side of single posts</li>
<li><strong>Click-to-Share quote blocks</strong> — Gutenberg block (and <code>[cp_quote]</code> shortcode) that turns a quotable sentence into one-click share moments for X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Facebook, Bluesky and more — the modern click-to-tweet experience for every network</li>
<li><strong>Wide network support</strong> — LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, WhatsApp, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Reddit, Telegram, Email, Copy Link</li>
<li><strong>Privacy-friendly share counter</strong> — optional aggregate share counts stored in your own database, no cookies, no third-party trackers</li>
<li><strong>Super Suggest</strong> — readers can recommend your article to editors at Newstrail.com, a Google News-approved publication, for potential editorial citation</li>
<li><strong>Embed code generator</strong> — produces clean blockquote-style embed code with proper attribution and backlinks</li>
<li><strong>Post-type targeting and per-post exclusion</strong> for fine-grained control</li>
<li><strong>WhatsApp share, Pinterest “Pin It”, Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon sharing</strong> for modern social audiences</li>
<li><strong>Copy link to clipboard</strong> for the silent shares (DMs, messaging apps) that traditional share buttons miss</li>
<li><strong>Native Web Share-friendly markup</strong> that plays nicely with mobile sharing</li>
<li><strong>Translation-ready</strong> with full i18n support and a <code>content-publicity</code> text domain</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — no external dependencies, no external scripts, no jQuery for new code paths</li>
</ul>
<h4>The “Super Suggest” Feature</h4>
<p>The unique Super Suggest button lets your engaged readers nominate your article to editors at <strong>Google News-approved publications</strong>. When a reader finds your content valuable, one click sends your article URL to editors at Newstrail.com for editorial review. If your content aligns with their coverage areas, they may cite it, feature it, or follow up — creating opportunities for high-authority backlinks and press mentions.</p>
<h4>Click-to-Share Quote Blocks</h4>
<p>Add the <strong>Click-to-Share Quote</strong> block in the Gutenberg editor, type or paste a quotable sentence, and pick which networks to expose. Each rendered quote becomes a one-click share moment for X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Reddit, Telegram, Email, or Copy Link. This is the modernized click-to-tweet pattern — every quote, every network, one click.</p>
<p>For Classic Editor users, the shortcode works too:</p>
<pre><code>[cp_quote networks="twitter,linkedin,whatsapp"]Your quotable sentence here.[/cp_quote]
</code></pre>
<h4>Privacy & Compliance</h4>
<p>Content Publicity is built for privacy from the ground up:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No user tracking, no cookies, no IP collection</strong></li>
<li><strong>No external scripts or third-party trackers</strong></li>
<li><strong>No data sent to external servers</strong> — every share link is a direct user-initiated link to the destination platform</li>
<li><strong>Share counter (when enabled) stores aggregate counts in your own WordPress database as post meta only</strong> — no personal information, no IP addresses, no cookies are collected or stored</li>
<li><strong>Fully GDPR-compatible</strong> out of the box</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility (WCAG)-friendly markup</strong> with ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support</li>
<li><strong>No remote loading of code, fonts, or icons</strong> — all SVG brand glyphs ship inside the plugin</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<p>Content Publicity is tested with the latest WordPress release (7.0) and is fully compatible with PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4. New code added in 1.2.0 uses modern, vanilla-PHP idioms throughout — no <code>eval()</code>, no <code>create_function()</code>, no deprecated APIs. The plugin works on every actively-supported PHP version and gracefully handles older WordPress installs down to the declared 6.0 minimum.</p>
<h4>External Service Disclosure</h4>
<p>The Super Suggest button is a standard <code><a href></code> link that the user clicks to open Newstrail.com (operated by Sitetrail). No data is automatically transmitted by the plugin — the user explicitly clicks the link to navigate to that site in a new tab. Newstrail’s own privacy policy applies once the user lands there. Disabling the Super Suggest toggle removes the button entirely.</p>
