Before the development of Authorsy, our product design team researched and noted down the popular features offered by our competitors. After analyzing them and considering user demand, we decided to introduce four types of author boxes that you’ll love to use.
Here is the brief on all of these:
📝 Simple Author Box
As the name represents, this author box will allow you to show the basic details of your desired author. This style is appropriate for posts where only one author is solely involved. You can put the author’s name, bio, gravatar, social media links, and other additional details. In short, the overall arrangement will give a clean vibe to the readers and allow them to get all the necessary details in a sleek and simple way.
👥 Multiple Author Box
Sometimes you might have collaborated with other authors to develop a specific post to make it stand out from the crowd. Hence, both deserve to be mentioned who contributed to developing a quality blog together. Authorsy’s Multiple-author style helps you to showcase both authors. And as with the Simple Author Box style, you can put the author names, bios, gravatars, social media links, and other additional details without harming the UX.
🌟 Guest Author Box
This post-author box style helps you to represent your guest author. That means this style is for the third-party authors who contribute to writing your content as a guest writer. Here you can also share all the necessary details about your author such as gravatar, social media links, bio, and some other relevant details.
🖱️ Author Box on Hover
This is our unique feature (as of now) that you won’t find offered by any other plugins. The Author Box on Hover style allows you to showcase author details to readers in a way that enables them to view the author details when they hover over the icon, triggering a popup with the author’s information. This includes gravatar, social media links, author bio, etc. Also, you can customize the social media icons if you wish.
Even though Authorsy has arrived with so many lucrative features, we’re not going to mention all of these here. But we can’t resist the urge to share some of these extremely essential features that you should check out.
Let’s check these out.
📋 Adding Extra Bio
For all the author box styles, you’ll have an extra bio section where you can include additional elements such as donation links. This feature enables your impressed readers to support you with contributions. Ultimately, it fosters a meaningful connection with your website visitors, facilitating the development of long-term relationships.
👍👎 Like Dislike Box
Ever seen website visitors reacting to your blog posts like Facebook? Authorsy has made it possible! Considering the satisfaction level after reading any particular blog, your visitors can give a reaction, which will eventually help you to determine how helpful your content is. Analyzing the findings, you can create an effective progress report and take necessary actions to enhance your growth.
🗳️🚫 Vote restriction
Our plugin can track IP addresses, cookies, etc, but of course with a good intention. We’ve developed the plugin in this way only to ensure that no one can scam you with fake votes! That means, one user can’t vote multiple times when Authorsy empowers your WP site. It will ensure your report is 100% authentic and reliable.
📲 Social share option for positive reactions
It’s tough to get your organic visitors to share your post on their social media accounts. However, Authorsy has revolutionized the process. If a visitor enjoys your content and reacts positively, Authorsy will show them a social sharing link. In many cases, this prompts readers to share the post on social media platforms.
🔒💬 Private feedback option for unhappy reactions
Encouragement is good, but encouraging feedback is also equally important. If any of your posts don’t meet the readers’ expectations, Authorsy will show them a feedback option. Using this feature, your readers can share their opinions with you which will eventually help you to make your creative works more engaging and fruitful.
