Jetpack offers social media sharing features. Using the “Sharing” features your readers can easily share your posts and pages with a wide variety of social media platforms or email, whichever they prefer.
Making it easier for your viewers to share your content is a way to get more readers and thus more regular visits to your site.

With Jetpack, you can easily add social media sharing links to any post or page.
- Log into your WordPress Dashboard

Easy Promotion with Publicize
You can automatically share your new posts with social media via the Publicize connections. Jetpack lets you connect your site to your social media accounts. This way, you can automatically update all of your relevant channels from one post.
- Enable Automatically share your posts to social networks under the Publicize Connections box
- Click the link to Connect your social media accounts
You will be redirected to your WordPress.com account, where you can add and update social media connections.
How to Enable WordPress.com “Likes”
You also have the option of keeping your social environment localized to WordPress with Like buttons. If you enable the Allow readers to show their appreciation of your posts by adding a like button to your content option, you will now have a signature WordPress like button on your posts, which users can click to show you they “liked” your post.
