I have been a Klout enthusiast for some time now. I can’t help but excited about the freebies that I consistently receive via their complimentary “perks” program. Just today I received a $29 value hard cover photo book from Shutterfly.com as a perk! I’ve also gotten 2 free bottles of wine, a box of business cards, a leather portfolio, $20 in free jewelry and several other freebies in the past 6 months. Did I mention each only took me a few minutes to redeem? And most were totally free?! Here’s how Klout/Klout Perks work: If you haven’t created a Klout account yet, you can do so in a matter of seconds. Simply visit Klout.com and sign in with Twitter or Facebook. Tip: You’ll want to earn “klout” for as many of your social profiles as possible (go to “settings”, then “connect networks”), so be sure to connect Faceboook, Twitter, Google+, Your Blog, Youtube channel, Instagram account and others. Each only takes a minute or two, and it will help you earn a much higher score. Worth the ti...

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: Login to your personal Klout profile.   If you don’t have an account on Klout yet, you can easily cre...

If you are active on Twitter, have you reviewed your Klout score? Klout "identifies influencers on topics across the social web". Yes, there are countless other websites/companies who can help you measure your so-called twitter "score" and provide you with charts/graphs about your twitter usage...but Klout is different. They have over 750 partnerships with companies like HootSuite and CoTweet. In fact, my first exposure to Klout took place on Hootsuite. Have a new follower and not sure what their "hot topics" are? Check them out on Klout . Klout can be helpful in providing insight about a Twitter user.   It's also very helpful in analyzing your tweets and level of interaction and influence on twitter. Your Klout score is based on much more than the number of followers have. For example, a person with 300 followers may have a higher score than someone with 3,000, because it's based on the level of true interaction you have with your followers....
