Reply with the missing insight, not the compliment
Follow the big accounts your buyers read and reply early with genuine substance — the caveat the post skipped, a number from your own work, the edge case that breaks the advice. Replies on large posts get thousands of reads; consistently useful ones convert a borrowed audience into your own.

The play
Watch a handful of large accounts in your niche and reply within the first hour with the thing the post missed — a number, an exception, a tool, a war story. Early substantive replies get read by an audience you couldn’t buy.
Watch out for
- Reply within the first hour or skip it — late replies drown.
- Never reply-pitch; the profile visit is the funnel.
Best for
- indie hacker
- creator
- dev tool
