Reviews

May 12, 2023
This plugin makes it very easy to monetize my website content. Anytime someone likes a blog article, they just click on the button and send an SMS. I can customize the text and place it anywhere on my website. It basically allows me to earn about 2 cents per SMS message received, but this adds up one high traffic blog articles. Note, this only works on websites in Africa since the SMS needs use the local mobile networks.
