Twitter using Pluggio Checklist (The Basics)

If you don’t know what Pluggio is, it’s a great bit of online software that allows the user to automate, aggregate, drip feed and bulk upload tweets. After trying all sorts of twitter automation tools, I’ve decided that Pluggio isn’t perfect, but it’s the best I’ve used. The great thing about Pluggio is that once you set it up – see my checklist, Setting up Pluggio for Twitter Checklist (The Basics) – you can allow a lot of the grunt work to be performed automatically. Pluggio automatically sends out direct responses to new followers, gathers information around the Internet that might be worthy of you retweeting (based on keyword searches). And I love the bulk upload option. You can upload 50 to 100 tweets for the week, set them to fire off every hour to 2 hours and your main tweets are taken care of.

This leaves you time to respond to messages, build relationships and enjoy Twitter rather than think it’s a massive headache. Now that I’ve used Pluggio for a few months I couldn’t imagine living with out it! Get Pluggio.
