What is Klout? My Tutorial!

Many people have recently started asking me:

"What is 'Klout?'"

To begin, you can easily learn about Klout on your own by going to their web site at www.klout.com. But on the same token, as a person who floods the net with my own postings about Klout, I can justify posting about them, and share my insight!

Klout measures your social skills, and rewards you for them, with the help of other ad agencies such as "Planters Peanut Butter" (which you will find an article referencing them and their product as well Klout in another article in this blog!) Many companies have worked with, and continue to work with Klout. Sometimes to build up their ow business, and sometimes to get feed back from you after you try and or use their product.

Klout offers you 'Perks.' You post when you accept the perk, and then they prefer you respond and write about your dealing with the perk, after you have received it. Sometimes they have back orders, and delays, but eventually you will receive your products, and they arrive any number of ways: 'Fed Ex', 'UPS' and even regular mail, as well as sometimes even 'Priority Mail.' It all depends on the sender. 

It doesn't cost you anything to receive these perks, they are free to you, usually. However on an occasion there are some that may cost, but the option is yours if you want to purchase them. Things like tickets to a Cruise, (for example!) however it will only be a percentage off the regular ticketed price, or something similar to this. There are also offers where as you must purchase $100 in product to receive a percentage off. Again, you are not required to use or do these. Do not feel obligated at any given time.

Klout keeps score of your social skills thru things like www.twitter.com and www.facebook.com and there are other sites that it allows you to log in and inform them that you do or have those as well, however they are not scoring from all as of yet.

Scoring comes from re-tweets, and replies, and conversations and comments and responses that you and your friends are having. Often it is found better to have your posts re-tweeted and re-posted, that many find that it helps to build you up quicker and easier. This is a matter of opinion, not a proven fact....

You receive free K's each day. It is better to give them away each and every day too. Try not to forget, because it just goes to waste, otherwise. And once you learn that someone has returned your K, until the two (or three? or four?) of you have ran out of K's to and fro, I personally suggest returning them until you both go grey, meaning you are both finished until about a week later. 

K's mean Klout. We give each other K's to build one another up, which also helps our scoring increase. And what we are doing is trading K's. It is also good to create a list of people that you find that are good K traders. There are some who don't do it, and some who only prefer dealing with their own clique of people. 

Depending on what you like to do, this can be quite habit forming, or annoying. But getting and receiving the products, I consider rewarding because sometimes they are full size products, and sometimes they are multiple styles and types because they will want to know which you preferred.

Above I took a photo of my own computer screenshot, so that you can see my score and what all I have and what my scoring looks like from the front. 

This shows you activity between myself and Tumor Warrior on Klout courtesy of my print screen feature.

Above is a photo which is self explanitory. Klout pretty much is just that, and it does teach you the steps along the way!

It is easier to learn Klout just by doing it. And once you find people who enjoy returning K's you're all set, it will start growing and increasing from that moment on, trust me.

And if you have any questions, you can always look me up! 

I do not work for Klout, but I have actively doing Klout for well over a year now! At this point and time they do not offer rewards or credit for referrals, unfortunately. Allegedly, at one time, they did though! 

Go check it out and sign up today, trust me, you will be glad you did, especially if you like FREE THINGS!
