You are probably wondering why I am saying that Klout is dead considering their site is still up, and there are still scores. The fact of the matter is, due to that they unsuccessfully had been able to award an accurate score to someone truly influential online as well as offline- Klout is meaningless. I understand that those who still support Klout only do so for the sake of accountability reasons. Sure, if you want to keep a strong social media presence going, you do need to make sure you are sharing good quality content as well as engaging with those in your networks on a consistent basis. In all honesty, you don’t need Klout for that. There are other ways you can make sure you are sharing good content on a regular basis and engaging with those who engage with you. You can set a schedule to share posts, and schedule a time to engage with your networks. If you are consistent, you will keep a strong social media presence. The fact that Klout had purposely manipulated scores, and...

At one time, not all that long ago really Klout based your influence only on your score. This had understandably angered a lot of people. How can you possibly measure influence based only on a numerical value? You can’t really. And I have said this all along- the score by itself is an indicator that you are engaging and active on your social media networks. However, the influence really lies within the kind of content you share, and how much reception it receives- and how interactive you are as well. Sadly a lot of people have found ways to artificially raise their Klout scores (or gaming) just for the sake of it by constantly dishing out irrelevant content, and buying followers and fake interaction. Klout has been working on methods to squash those who consistently game the system. However, those who really wanted to increase their scores this way always found a method to do so. The good news is, Klout is starting to find ways on how to determine users who are truly influential ...

Social Media writer, Mary Green wrote an excellent post on Social Media Today about why finding work and clients through social media can be difficult. The fact of the matter is, there really is a lot of clutter and irrelevant stuff being spewed out through every network most of the time. There is a lot of social media noise ! When that happens, it just frustrates people instead of attracting them. This is why it is extremely crucial to develop relationships online, send out relevant,captivating, engaging and inspiring content, and becoming influential online. Never be the promoting type! That again is a huge turn-off. Remember, it is not an overnight process. Building influence and credibility online takes time, and just remember how Rome was not built in a day. However, that is how you will attract clients. Because once you are known to be credible and influential in your field, anything that comes from you via your social networks will stand out in the middle of that noise. Higher...
