Tuesday Tips: Use Klout to Post, Share Articles

Klout offers you a nifty ability not only to post unique content to their sites and write those posts on their sites, but you can also share your posts from your website to there and have it push it out to your social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Klout is a platform with which you can use to measure your amount of influence in the world of social media.  It also gets you perks from various companies who are hoping by sending you items, you'll post about them and others will purchase them based on the fact you're influential.

Klout has changed a lot since it first started, but many things remain the same.  For example, you didn't used to be able to post articles there or share your articles through Klout and now you can. You can also "grant" Klout to friends who are members of Klout in various topics - for example my main topics have been Gaming, Journalism, Social Media and Video Games for a while now.  Some folks have other topics they have Klout in.

Friday Facts - Part 2: The 3 Types of Social Networks and What to Post on Them

Once again, Klout has put out a blog post which is very useful to my readers (and even those who are not my readers) regarding the types of social networks and what to post on them.  This one was such a timely post, it couldn't wait to the next free Friday for posts.

You may be asking "What do they mean by types of social networks."  They break down social networks into three platforms: Personal, Content Sharing, and Shared Interest Networks.  Some social media outlets are under more than one of those networks.

Their explanation of social networks, what to post and tips for each network is quite interesting and valuable.
