TL;DR — Key Takeaways

  • Strategic comments on the right posts can outperform your own content
  • Focus on adding value, not just agreeing or praising
  • Use the Favorite People feature to never miss key posts
  • Aim for first-to-comment status on high-value accounts

Why Comments Matter More Than You Think

A well-placed comment on a viral post can get more visibility than your own content. The key is being strategic about WHERE you comment and WHAT you say.

The Value-Add Comment Framework

Every comment should do one of these:

  • Add a new perspective the author didn't cover
  • Share a relevant personal experience
  • Ask a thought-provoking question
  • Provide additional resources or data

Using CreatorHub's Favorite People

  1. Add your top 20-30 target accounts
  2. Enable push notifications for new posts
  3. Aim to comment within the first 30 minutes
  4. Spend 15-20 minutes daily on strategic engagement

Comment Templates That Work

The "Yes, And" Comment:

"This is spot on, especially [specific point]. I'd also add that [your insight]..."

The Personal Story Comment:

"This resonates deeply. When I [similar experience], I learned that [lesson]..."

The Question Comment:

"Great framework! Curious how you'd approach this when [edge case]?"

What to Avoid

  • "Great post!" (adds no value)
  • Immediately pitching your services
  • Disagreeing aggressively
  • Writing longer than the original post
