[box color="purple-vibrant" type="square" icon="help"]Tutorials - Understanding Your Klout Score and Profile[/box]
<p>Gday everyone and welcome back to Tutorial Wednesday.</p>


<p>Last week we covered <a href="http://kymrobinson.com/tutorials-get-started-with-klout/">how to get started with Klout</a> and as promised...</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/what-is-a-klout-score.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-3545" title="what-is-a-klout-score" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/what-is-a-klout-score.jpg" alt="what-is-a-klout-score" width="315" height="179" /></a></p>


<p>we are continuing on with our Klout series by looking at how to understand your Klout score and profile...so let's get on with that....</p>


<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>At first glance, Klout can be a little overwhelming.</strong></span></p>


<p>There’s data everywhere, different kinds of feeds, different people and different categories. How do you make sense of all the data available to you? Here’s everything you need to know about making sense of your Klout profile.</p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 1: Your Klout Dashboard</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">The first screen you see when you log in is your Klout dashboard. This dashboard has your Klout score, links to your social media profiles and your latest social media interactions all in a feed.</p>


<p style="text-align:left;">Your dashboard is visible only to you and not the public.</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1-Dashboard.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3329" title="1-Dashboard" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1-Dashboard.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="272" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 2: Accessing Your Score Summary</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">To learn more about your Klout score, click “Show My Score Summary” in the upper right corner.</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/2-Show-Score-Summary.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3330" title="2-Show-Score-Summary" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/2-Show-Score-Summary.jpg" alt="" width="262" height="121" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>On the top you’ll have your score changes. This is a great indicator of whether your influence is increasing or decreasing.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/3-Score-Changes.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3331" title="3-Score-Changes" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/3-Score-Changes.jpg" alt="" width="525" height="114" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>On the lower left you can see what percentage of your influence comes from Facebook or Twitter.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/4-Influence-Distribution.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3332" title="4-Influence-Distribution" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/4-Influence-Distribution.jpg" alt="" width="235" height="246" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>Next to that you have a more specific breakdown of your stats.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/5-Stats-Breakdown.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3333" title="5-Stats-Breakdown" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/5-Stats-Breakdown.jpg" alt="" width="352" height="190" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 3: Add Topics</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">Adding topics you’re influential about allows Klout to rank you in those topics. If you don’t add yourself, even if you’re an expert in that topic, you’re not going to get the benefit of being ranked in Klout’s top influencer lists for that topic.</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/6-Add-Topics.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3334" title="6-Add-Topics" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/6-Add-Topics.jpg" alt="" width="306" height="183" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>You can manually choose which topics you want to add by going to “See More” in your profile, then clicking “Add a Topic.”</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/7-See-More.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3335" title="7-See-More" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/7-See-More.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="73" /></a></p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/8-Add-a-Topic.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3336" title="8-Add-a-Topic" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/8-Add-a-Topic.jpg" alt="" width="395" height="169" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 4: Understanding Klout Profiles</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">A Klout profile consists of a few main parts. First, you have their name and “About” section. This gives you their Klout score, links to other social media profiles and a short blurb about them.</p>


<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/9-Profile.jpg"><img class="wp-image-3337 aligncenter" title="9-Profile" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/9-Profile.jpg" alt="Klout" width="268" height="209" /></a></p>


<p>Then, you have the person’s “moments.” These are the social media updates posted by that person that got the most activity over the last 90 days.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/10-Moments.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3338" title="10-Moments" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/10-Moments.jpg" alt="" width="382" height="274" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>To check out who your (or anyone else’s) top influencers are, just look to the left sidebar.</p>


<p>Your top influencers will be sorted by Klout score.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/11-Influencers.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3339" title="11-Influencers" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/11-Influencers.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="295" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 5: Perks</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">Perks are special benefits given to people with certain Klout scores. For example, a mobile phone company might give free phones to people with Klout scores above 85 in hopes that they might blog or tweet about the phone.</p>


<p style="text-align:left;">To access the perks that you qualify for, click “Perks” under your dropdown name menu.</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/12-Perks.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3340" title="12-Perks" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/12-Perks.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="208" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>Browse the various perks that you qualify for. If you find a perk you’d like to claim, just click “Claim This Perk!”</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/13-Get-a-Perk.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3341" title="13-Get-a-Perk" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/13-Get-a-Perk.jpg" alt="" width="414" height="214" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 6: Friends and Lists</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">To see your friends’ Klout score, click “Friends” from the upper right dropdown menu.</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/14-Friends.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3342" title="14-Friends" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/14-Friends.jpg" alt="" width="164" height="208" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>You can sort your friends by alphabetical order or by Klout score by clicking the respective sorting options along the top.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/15-Sort-Friends.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3343" title="15-Sort-Friends" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/15-Sort-Friends.jpg" alt="" width="473" height="249" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Step 7: Lists</strong></span></p>


<p style="text-align:left;">Lists make it easy for you to divide your friends into different categories.</p>


<p style="text-align:left;">For example, you can sort your business friends from your hiking friends from your favorite bloggers.</p>


<p style="text-align:left;">This makes it easy for you to track Klout scores and Klout profiles for all the different kinds of people in your life.</p>


<p style="text-align:left;">To create a new list, click “Create a New List” on the left hand side of your “Friends” page.</p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/16-Create-List.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3344" title="16-Create-List" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/16-Create-List.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="228" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>On the left, add the people you want on the list to your list. On the right, give your list a name and a description.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/17-Add-List.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3345" title="17-Add-List" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/17-Add-List.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="298" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p>Once you’ve saved your lists, you can come back anytime and just click on one of your lists on the left to see everyone who’s in that list.</p>


<p> </p>


<p><a href="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/18-Access-a-List.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-3346" title="18-Access-a-List" src="http://KymRobinson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/18-Access-a-List.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="217" /></a></p>


<p> </p>


<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>These are the most important features Klout has to offer at the moment.</strong></span></p>


<p>You now know how to see all your posts, your most influential posts, to see how your Klout score was broken down as well as your growth over time.</p>


<p>You also know how to use perks and how to sort your friends.</p>


<p>I am sure that Klout will evolve even further over time and change how it works to keep pace with social currencies.</p>


<p>In the meantime you can come back and see me next Wednesday for the last in our Klout series.</p>
