Twitter Tools & Consulting
Hello blog readers, Twitter followers and Facebook fiends…I mean, erm…friends! 😉
Thank you for visiting my blog and checking out this page about some of my favorite tools and resources that help me be less chaotic than I would be without them. I utilize these tools personally and for a handful of clients whose accounts I manage in a hands-on, boutique style.
I hereby vow never to promote or list a link or resource here that I not only personally utilize but truly rely on as an efficient and effective platform/tool.
For quickie access, here are my social media links that help me to manage my own account and those of a few clients/friends. Later, I will have elaborate, lengthy, long-winded, laborious explanations as to why I love these tools muuchly. But if you came here, you may already want the goods, so I present to you:
Pluggio – The love of my Twitter life! 🙂 I use this for what I call “timely” tweets. Every day. Yes. Every. Day. Super easy multi-mention capability, rolling schedules, fast follow and listing screening, and more. The BEST RSS feed manager is included in this system…I know, because he fashioned it after my suggestion. Yes, I’m bragging! 🙂 (Really, anyone who has tried out Pluggio’s free trial program has raved to me and signed up.) Act now and you’ll receive…oh darn! I’m fresh out of steak knives!
Social Oomph – My background singer and band – I rely heavily on Social Oomph for what I call “timeless” tweets. Fun quotes and tidbits I like sharing more than once go here. Great for businesses that wish to schedule promotional tweets and then fahgetaboutit. It has MANY more features I haven’t even tapped into, like DM blasts and auto follow stuff (Sorry, I don’t do DM blasts, but I promise I won’t judge you if you do!)
TweetAdder – I formerly used this tool to help me find people to follow who have similar interests, like fellow travelers and foodies, etc. either by their bios or tweets or location. I have now shifted to a more “organic” method of connecting and following and I hope to see you in the stream.
I realize there are many ways to access these sites, and I thank you for choosing to support my voracious tweeting habit by following my affiliate links. I am happy to answer what questions I can about how I use them and why I favor them.

Feel free to contact me at SuuperGStark@gmail.com for some shot-in-the-arm social media consulting or to discuss ways I can help personally manage and enhance your presence on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and more. I have a stellar track record of results on Twitter and when needed, I bring in the big Facebook guns with a partner who I call the “Contest Contessa”. I look forward to hearing from you!
Testimonials:
“After just an hour with Gina, I came away with the knowledge that literally transformed the way I use Twitter and exponentially improved the results I get from it. I also came away with a glimpse of Gina’s deep knowledge, not just of how Twitter and other social media platforms work, but of how people work—what makes people feel connected, what engages them, what causes them to take positive action. This gift is what separates Gina from other ‘social media experts’: she instinctively understands how to connect with people and create a loyal following, and is able to efficiently and methodically translate that instinct to the online world, using social media as a tool. These days there is a lot of conflicting advice floating around about how to use social media to advance a brand. Without hesitation, I always seek out and follow Gina’s advice, and she has never steered me wrong.” ~ Rodney Williams of @StrawberryCreek Inn and author of the beautiful and delectable cookbook Memorable Mornings from the Strawberry Creek Inn
“Hi Gina,
So great talking to you today. 🙂 You are so knowledgeable and I’m so glad I found you on Twitter. 🙂 YAY! I’m very excited about getting started with building my presence on Twitter and Facebook. I look forward to doing my homework. Have a wonderful day and we’ll talk again soon. :)” ~ Cheryl
From Krystyn Chong on Facebook (who I’ve never met in person): “Whenever I am around you I immediately feel your aura of superb suuperness. An example besides your posts and tweets is your blog, which is a great representation of you. Fun, worldly, beautiful and full of knowledge.
Your photos are so infectiously endearing. You draw people in very easily bc of your genuine heart.” (Thank you so much, Krystyn!)
And below is a fun conversation I had on Facebook with Marie Renn of @KidsGranny – and for the record; anyone who uses the word “stoked” holds a special place in the heart of this native Californian 😉
Marie: I’m stoked by your friend request. I know your numbers! You’re the reason I signed up for Pluggio. Thx.
me: Wow! So great to connect and to hear that. Thanks! Are you loving Pluggio?
Marie: A big YES! It’s become an addiction.
And Justin was been so helpful (and that was before I even knew he was the big cheese at Pluggio.
me: Justin is the best! He has actually implemented some of my ideas/suggestions to make Pluggio even more fabulo-tastic. That makes me happy that its helping you enjoy Twitter as much as it has for me.
As you can see, I get to work with really cool people! Thank you all for love and support. Warmly, Gina Stark
