Klout Begins at Consistent
Have you found one thing that you really like to share with others and it seems to be popular? Look at what you publish, share, and discuss in social media. What gets the most attention from your audience? Odds are you have topics on the Klout Topics page that you have real interest in and ones that you never really concentrate on but have a major influence about. Some topics are added by other influencers and some you see added by Klout. Do you have any idea why you have the extra topics that appear to have no relevance to you?
Have you ever taken time to understand why you have such an influence in the topics you find unrelated to your interest? There’s a very good chance what you are attempting to establish as a target Klout Influence, may be just an extra. Any topics that show up on your Topics Page do not show up because they’re irrelevant. You’re lack to recognize the topic as an interest to you doesn’t mean you don’t appear to be authority in the subject. You may be influencing the extra topic when the topic that will drive your extra influence sits beside it on the topics page.
Do you take two hours a day pushing content about your interest, building your network, establishing authority? Well have you noticed topics outside of your main priority seem to stay at the top consistently and you don’t think you influence it at all? Wait a moment, didn’t we already cover the fact that topics don’t show up if they are irrelevant? I would say they contribute a great deal to your Klout. If they are consistently at the top you may have a key component to your Klout and I will explain why in the following steps.
Facts to consider about Consistency and Your Personal Klout Goals
· If the Topic is there, it’s because you do influence it.
Topics are listed because you share, discuss, or create information about the topic in some way and the topic does contribute to your Klout Influence. If it’s at the top you have what I consider a successful medium for all topics.
· If the topic stays consistently at the top you also influence it consistently.
Consistency is the main contribution to your Influence figure out why you are consistent and use it. You talk about the topic somewhere find where and take advantage of the benefits. Remember how many different people you connect with and how many connections they have as well. Just because topics may not seem relative doesn’t mean they can’t be. Connections come from various topics let each build on the other.
· Consistency establishes you as a reliable source and builds recognition as a dependable one.
Your focus is to gain influence you can’t build influence without consistent connection to a network of influence. Multiple connection possibilities throughout various channels of communication allows for consistent connection. Using multiple angles to become more influential not only gives you a variety of value, it also gives less reason to burn out in one topic.
Your measure of the relevance between topics may be the one obstacle stopping your success. As you see from the facts above, everything is relevant to influence. Give yourself value in multiple areas and build trust as a source, even if the topics seem to have no apparent connection to topics you are interested in you always have tools at your disposal.

9 Easy Ways to Increase Your Klout Score
1.
Build a Network of Value
The key to increasing your Klout score is similar to
finding success on any social
network in general: Build an engaged network of people who
would be legitimately looking for you and interested in you and your content. Every step after this can only make it better.
2. Create
meaningful content and a strategy
Create or
include meaningful content that your network loves
to share with others.
Keep it simple but stick within boundaries. Provide all with links if available!
3. Engage as many as
possible
Actively interact with others in a helpful and authentic way. Ask questions, answer questions and create a dialogue with your followers.
This not only builds your support for
them, it increase possibility
for more discussion. Discussion will
bring attention; will
also increase your Klout!
4.
Concentrate on What you do, not People with High Klout
Any behavior that falls
outside the basic strategy,
puts you in uncharted territory, and will eventually catch up to you. For
example, specifically targeting a
conversations with high Klout influencers, most likely will be annoying, not successful. Keep
your focus on your network
strategy, topics,
and content, you’ll succeed
in becoming a recognized influence.
5.
Don’t be afraid to interact with a 10 or 20 Klout score
It won’t hurt your own score. In fact, it helps build their score by talking and in turn
makes you more of an influencer.
Remember the entire networks success will
be your success.
6.
Publish Content!
Anything thing you can attach your name to that's
of value to one may also be of value to millions. Remember,
you don’t have to be in entertainment or elected to office to
have power now. All you need to do is publish. Access
to free publishing tools such
as blogs, video, media, and Twitter have provided
users with an opportunity to have a real place to build an audience,
so take advantage of any platform you can.
7.
You should be proud of your score
People with a score of 10 also have an
audience. Don’t get discouraged by your score. It’s more important to just enjoy your social media
experience and be proud. As
we all know if you get discouraged, followers will be too if they listen to
what you say.
8. Share tips for
Socials
Sharing tips
even if it means links to other users content still becomes a reason for all to
return. If you are sharing anything and it came from you and anyone retweets, likes, comments,
or shares you’re the post,
it will also include you! Anything that includes you contributes to Klout.
9. Include all Social
Media Klout will Allow
Klout allows
you to connect other networks such as Facebook, Youtube, Foursquare, and LinkedIn networks. Klout states when you add new
networks it doesn't decrease your Klout score, so you should try to
connect it too. Start a small community for all to be part of. The more you
have available for connection, the more you have Klout!
