Klout Matters – The Joel Comm Show Episode #16
It’s the sweet sixteen of my podcast!
In this episode you’ll discover why the website Klout matters to you. It’s all about social influence and I hope you are taking Klout seriously.
I also reveal an upcoming project that you may be a part of. It’s a shorter episode and I hope you enjoy it.
Be sure to comment below for an opportunity to win a free autographed copy of the new book, Klout Matters: How to Engage Customers, Boost Your Influence and Raise Your Klout Score for Success, by Gina Carr and Terry Brock.
I have a 70, the number isn’t as important as the engagement. Thoughts?
Hi from the UK, enjoyed the show about Klout, I have 62 at present at http://klout.com/#/YorkfoxDaytoDay , look forward to the podcasts, for me a show of 30 minutes maximum would be perfect, best Keith
Really enjoying your podcast. I also listen to Mobile App Chat and Pat Flynn. I’ve been on Klout for about 11 months now and enjoy charting my progress….I’m at 45 today. Love your positive attitude!
Having problems watching you podcast on my mobile device because the ad from SpeakPipe continuously interferes with navigation. Incredibly frustrating pop-ups on your site! Very problematic!
I better get with the times and raise my Klout score. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Please put me in the drawing for the signed book also.
Yes you got me thinking about my Klout score. 63 is not too bad I guess without doing anything about it. Wondering what one can actually do to push it. Diving in – would love a copy, if you’ll send it all the way to Africa too? 🙂
Also am very interested in your inner circle. Am actively looking to join a programme like that, so far have test driven a few but wasn’t a fit. Yours might just be the right thing, have only started to get a glimpse of your world but I like what I see so far. Again, if you let people who live at the end of the world (next stop Antarctica) in 😉
Hi Joel – great podcast. I’m signed up with Klout with multiple accounts (I think I eliminated the third and have it down to two). I have two distinct businesses (each with a very different focus, namely horses and small business) that have different websites, Twitter accounts, FB addresses, etc. Do you know if there’s any way to merge the two? I haven’t been able to find a way to list more than one location (FB, Twitter, website, etc.) on Klout. Do you know if this is possible?
All the best Joel, with whatever you are doing next. Have been your fan for long now. God Bless & Happy Klouting !
Hey Joel!
I recently saw you speak at a convention and was really impressed, by a very cool very clever video you showed in which some scrolling text about pessimism was reversed and used the exact same words to encourage optimism. Where can I find a copy of this? I was very inspired by it and want to share it with some friends of mine who are having a hard time with their businesses right now.
Thanks a million!

Hey Rich! Glad you enjoyed the video and presentation. I don’t have a copy of the video which I have made public at this time. Sorry!
Thanks Joel for a great episode on Klout (and the 15 before that one)!
Hey Joel,
I enjoyed the podcast.
I don’t know if you read Mark Schaeffer’s “Return On Influence”? I would have considered that the first book on Klout, although ‘Klout’ wasn’t in the title.
And I want to take the opportunity to thank you. I have Twitter Power on my bookshelf which that got me started on twitter.
Finally if you want to give me +1K 😉

Another great episode Joel. Really enjoyed it. Will be signing up for Klout tonight.
Thank you for sharing about Klout! I had not heard of it before! Just signed up!
Good stuff as always! Hearing about all the things you do is so motivating for me to keep stretching into the social stratosphere. Here we grow again! Love it.
Yet another awesome podcast Joel. As a beginner with only a few weeks in the business I am soaking up everything you are sharing. I believe in Klout and hope to continue to raise my influence and business acumen by modeling myself after successful people, such as yourself, that share their minds.
My score overs in the mid 50 to low 60. It definitely flucuates the more or less I tweet. I wish it would expand to include a broader range of networks. I rarely use Google+ simply because there is now API to manage my posts to my personal profile from HootSuite. It would be interesting to see how Vine plays into this. I find I get better interaction on Vine than I do on Instagram anymore.
Thanks, Joel. Until listening to this Pod Cast, Klout was just another place to visit once in a while and check my current score. Now I will be a lot more serious about the implications of a higher Klout Score.
Hi Joe, great stuff. Thanks. Keep going.
Hi Joel, great podcast about Klout!
We fully agree with you, the Klout score becomes a very important indicator of a person or organization’s influence on social media! Have you ever tried Embedle? Embedle is a twitter App that encourages engagements and help your klout scores. a huffington post article explained the details http://t.co/CIvHVlhEVV
Hi Joel,
Great podcast.. Thanks for the tutorial and explaining the importance of Klout. That little orange number has now given new meaning to my tweets and making time to engage.
Love to get +1K and be considered to learn in your inner circle.
Klout is kool!
Hey Joel
Inner Circle…. How cool….Looking forward to it.
Klout score…cool tool.
Influence marketing is the future… It’s amazing how you can leverage your Klout score…I had no idea.
Cool contest as well
Thanx Joel… you always deliver
