“Influence is the ability to drive action. When you share something on social media or in real life and people respond, that’s influence. The more influential you are, the higher your Klout Score. The Klout Score isn’t the average of your influence across all your networks, it’s the accumulation.” – Klout.
The average Klout Score is 40. Social Media users with a score of 63 are in the top 5% of all users.
