YOU’RE NOT REPLYING RIGHT
Replies to other relevant accounts are the cheatcode to getting visibility.
Yet, the most common complaint I hear:
“I don’t really know what to reply sometimes!”
So… here we are. Let me teach you how you can reframe your thinking when it comes to replying so you can leave banger thoughtful replies every time and grab the attention of people / accounts you’re replying to!
Let’s get into it 👇🏽
“nice post”
“LFG”
“👀”
“🔥”
… are absolute BS replies!
Gets you nothing
No attention
No profile clicks
No reply back from the original post-er
(or anyone else seeing your comment for that matter)
THOUGHTFUL REPLIES =
✶ More profile visits
✶ More follows
✶ More people saving your name in their brain
Most people scroll…
…read a post…
…and then stare at the reply box like …🤔 🙄
…then scroll again
Every reply you skip is a missed opportunity on making a new connection.
So here’s your fix:

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
Paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals.
