How to Give Someone "+K" on Klout.com


Have you created your profile on Klout.com yet?  I’ve talked about Klout in this space before.  Klout is a free service that “identifies influencers on topics across the social web.”  I’ve noticed a few neat features from Klout recently. The first was Klout “perks”.  I talked about a free Klout “perk” I received over here.  Just a few weeks ago, I came across a new “+K” feature on Klout. 

So, what exactly does it mean to give someone a “+K” score?
A "+K" reminds me a little of a “recommendation” on LinkedIn, but it only takes a moment and you can tweet about it!  Klout recommends that you give someone a “+K” if that person has influenced you about a particular topic lately.  Today on “Tutorial Thursday” I’m going to walk you through the process of giving someone a “+K” on Klout.com.

How to give someone a "+K" on Klout.com:
  1. Login to your personal Klout profile.  If you don’t have an account on Klout yet, you can easily create one from their homepage. 
  2. In the search box on the top right-hand side of the Klout screen, type in the twitter username (“handle”) of the person you’d like to give a +K score to. 
  3. This will bring up his or her profile on Klout.  Look for the area that says “influential about” on the user’s Klout summary page.  It will appear next to “influencer of” and below his/her profile. 
  4. Click on “see all” in the “influential about” area. This will bring up the full list of topics Klout has identified as being areas this person is influential about.
  5. Look for the “Give +K” button below the topic, such as “marketing” or “blogging”, etc.  Click on the “Give +K” button to give this person a “+K” for the chosen topic.
  6. In the pop-up window, click on “tweet” or “share” to let this person know you gave him/her a “+K”.
