Social Follow Icons vs. Social Share Buttons

When it comes to social media icons and buttons, there are two major players in the game: follow icons and share buttons. But what’s the deal with each, and why should you care? Well, here’s the breakdown:

Social Follow Buttons

Follow buttons are all about guiding your website visitors to your social media profiles so they can “follow” you. That’s what this page helps you create. Once yo9u have installed them on your website, when someone clicks on your icons and BOOM—they land on your brand’s Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram page. It’s here that people can hit “follow” and join your online community.

What About Share Icons?

On the flip side, you’ve got share buttons. These handy little social buttons let people share your content—like a blog post or a product—straight from your website to their social media profiles. It’s a quick and easy way for your visitors to share your content with their followers on social media.
