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!
