Klout measures your Influence and also improves your performance by helping you find, Create and share great content.
I had been on KLOUT since early January this Year 2015,
After Signing up and Connecting some of my Accounts, I personally had to share it with you as I found it really useful, it picks the most relevant Viral Posts I had made on Social Media and puts them up for me to see.
Klout will also use your Performance to Measure your Klout Score, the Higher the Score - the Better.
Below is my performance over the last 90 days according to Klout.
Looking for a way to make some cash using your blog or Profile? Now, some Web Industries or Companies looking for Influential Writer Profiles, before they Hire you, they won't ask you How many Thousand Followers you Have on Twitter or Facebook, they just ask for your KLOUT SCORE. It's as easy as that.
Or if you're submitting a Proposal to write or be an Influencer you can Simply Add your Klout score to your Report, it will be recognised and appreciated.
2. IT TELLS YOU WHERE YOU'RE DOING GREAT OR POORLY:
When you scroll up and have a look at my Connected Accounts on Klout, My Facebook scored 82%, Twitter 15% and LinkedIn 4%, this tells me that while I am doing good on Facebook, I am not doing well on Twitter & LinkedIn so I'll have to be more regular there to make the Ratio better.
I am yet to even connect my Instagram and FourSquare Accounts.
It's based on Interests, you may Enjoy FB and Twitter and stick with them, but it's a Big Plus to be Every where possible.
