History

In 2008, Nikitas Georgopoulos envisioned a world where sharing content online could be as intuitive and engaging as the content itself. Starting as a weekend side project called E-MAILiT, Nikitas and his small team built a sharing and customization platform unlike any other, one that would allow publishers and users alike to tailor and enrich their online experiences. This simple project soon became a labor of love, evolving slowly but steadily. Back then, with limited resources and a lean team, growth was organic—relying on passion, dedication, and a long-term vision rather than immediate investor funding. Over time, E-MAILiT gained loyal users and made a name for itself, quietly becoming a trusted choice for thousands of websites across 194 countries. Yet, unlike many startups chasing quick expansion through investor backing, Nikitas and his team believed in a path driven by gradual innovation and authenticity. Each decision was purposeful, aimed at delivering value and enhancing the user experience. This careful, deliberate approach allowed E-MAILiT to amass impressive reach: over 6 billion views and 3 billion users, with a domain rating of 68 and 35,000 backlinks—99% of them dofollow.

Introducing WeShare – The Next Generation of Social Sharing

Formerly known as E-MAILiT, WeShare brings you fast, private, and personalized social sharing. With our one-click sharing button, your audience can effortlessly share your content across 84 social networking platforms, all while feeling secure. WeShare is fully committed to privacy—we never sell or share your data. Plus, we make it easy for publishers to tailor sharing buttons to fit their brand, creating a cohesive and responsive sharing experience that boosts engagement and growth.

A Trusted Platform with a Global Reach

What began as a weekend side project has grown into a trusted platform used by thousands of websites across 194 countries. With over 6 billion views and 3 billion users to date, WeShare has become a reliable choice for publishers worldwide. Backed by a domain rating of 68 and 35,000 backlinks—99% of them dofollow—WeShare is well-positioned to expand its impact and help publishers build brand loyalty across the globe.

How WeShare Generates Revenue – Keeping It Free for Publishers

WeShare is entirely free for publishers. Our revenue comes from non-intrusive, post-share advertising options, like Thank-You Page ads and sponsored content. These ads help keep our services free while offering growth opportunities for your business. We’re different from typical data-driven ad models; our ads fit naturally into the user experience and don’t rely on tracking, meaning your users can engage with your content uninterrupted and privately.

Unlock New Revenue Streams with WeShare’s Innovative Features

With WeShare, every share becomes an opportunity for growth. Our Universal Bypass function lets you add revenue-generating options to existing share buttons without changing your setup. After users share, they’re directed to a Thank-You Page featuring ads, such as engaging 300×250 banners. You can also enable Rewarded Shares, where users earn redeemable points or perks sponsored by advertisers, turning each share into a rewarding experience. Plus, you can share exclusive, ad-supported content to further enhance engagement and revenue.

Seamlessly Track and Personalize Your Sharing Experience

Customize your sharing buttons to fit your brand’s aesthetics and create a fully responsive social sharing layout. Track the success of your shares with WeShare’s Google Analytics integration, which consolidates all sharing metrics in one place. And with after-share Follow Buttons, you can keep your audience connected and engaged, even after they share.

Privacy First – WeShare Protects Your Data

At WeShare, privacy is at our core. We’re committed to helping publishers grow without compromising on user privacy. We never sell or share user data—because WeShare Values Your Privacy.

FAQ

Do I need to edit html or javascript?

There is no need to edit any line of code.

How do I eliminate/remove the plugin from certain page(s) or post(s)?

When editing a post or page, you can check the “E-MAILiT” option in “screen options” to enable E-MAILiT remove meta box.

How do I activate / de-activate your plugin?

Please, read the guide here https://wordpress.org/plugins/e-mailit/installation

How do I link the Facebook Like Button or the Tweet Button to my pages?

Facebook Like Button displays the likes about a specific url. In order to show correctly your likes you must place the button in the right place. If you haven’t inserted the button in your home page, propably your likes are linked to it. If in case this is valid, by placing the button in your home page you will see the correct like counter for your site.

Facebook Share Button seems to show an incorrect number! Why?

The count result is common for share and like interactions. Please, see here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button/ There are counters for posting an article or sharing a page content. These are two seperate different interactions. But you can include the Share button next to the Like button, having more sharing options to display on your website and not feeling confused about the similar counters. You will have two different buttons together, with one counter only to display.

My client had a website with that plugin. Scored “F” on GTMetrix. Over 100 redirect chains. Removed the plugin. Now it’s at “A” with no redirect chains. Site now loads twice as fast. It went from 6.7s for 2.39MB to 2.6s for 354K. So what good is this plugin if people leave because it’s too slow or Google don’t list it at all?

This plugin is great! Installation was straightforward, all the buttons work and it looks great on the page. I tried many other plugins for sharing. All of them used a third party service to send a link to my website by email. This one gave me a choice of email program to open, connected to my account and sent the link. Highly recommended.
