hi this is jim and i'm making a short video for you to show you something that
i think you should print out
and hang next to your computer
you're trying to have more success and be more influential on the internet
this is something we should be hanging next to our desk. I've never
suggested that before but this
definitely qualifies. Print this out as soon as you see this video . what i want
you to do is go get free klout dot com account if you don't have one yet
and after you've done that they'll automatically
load all of your facebook friends
and you can go see on
the friends tab of clout
all of your face book friends now that doesn't seem like such a big deal until
you realize
that they (Klout.com) has sorted
your friends
by klout score
which is very cool everyone's assigned a score of one to one hundred on Klout.com
now let me just make a quick side note about the scores before i go any further
it's a known fact
(and my opinion)
no one's even disputing it
that if someone has a high score on Klout.com
they're doing something right they are certainly influential in doing something
right - I'm quite proud of my high score - but
you can't say that the opposite is true
what i mean by this is if my score was only ten
that doesn't mean i'm not influential
it probably just means i'm not very engaged with social media or it means
that i haven't connected my face book account with Klout.com yet
or maybe my business name doesn't match up with my twitter name and i haven't
connected it all together
i could still be very influential with a very low score
I must make sure you understand that if someone has a high score they
are certainly
influential
and worth paying attention to and potentially a fantastic partner - ok let's
go back to the preview screen so i can make my point
I am keeping the identities safe for the people that i'm scrolling through. These
are my face book friends - people who have agreed to a friendship with me on face
book all sorted
and in order
of Kout score now if you don't instantly see the value of this
let me explain it a little further to you
BUT before i do let me show you a quick link that i think you'll need to see
this were really helped drive the point home
here i a m on my blog jimcockrum.com
if you scroll down the page
i've got an entire department dedicated to leadership and influence reputation
this is great free content please check it out i talk more about Klout
and more about these topics
so what I'm about to say next will really make sense if you spend
fifteen minutes
visiting this section of my blog
so here we are back on Klout.com
and i'm seeing
all my friends i'm going to print this page out
i'm going to take the top ten maybe the top twenty or even the top
fifty and hang them right next to my computer - now why would i do that
because every day i'm going to check in with these influential people and i'm going
to see what they're doing i'm going to comment on their face book post i'm
going to follow them on twitter even perhaps interact with them there. now why
would i do that?
because Klout measures my ability to influence other influential people and
now that i know for the first time ever who those other influential people are
as i scrolled on this page
it pays
to interact with them
and a tap into their network
of contacts their networks of influence
and in doing so i'll increase my own circle of influence while also of course
sharing
the people that i am influential over with them. That's how things work on the
internet so if this doesn't make sense to you yet jump over my blog check that
out
the internet and success on the internet is all about influence *** your ability
to influence people with your message
Klout.com is a power tool
that's as of yet undiscovered by ninety nine percent
of the people out there that should be using it and it's completely free.
