How To Build Your Social Media Presence Through Replies

Strategic reply techniques that grow your network (without being cringe) 🚀

BUILD YOUR BRAND BY BEING A REPLY GUY

You might be thinking… “F*CK REPLY GUY. It’s too much work”

STOP 🛑 It’s not what you think.

“Reply guy” gets a bad rep because people misunderstand it

Most people think it means:

  • Spamming comments

  • Leaving random 👀 emoji replies

  • Quote posting your own posts for views

  • Saying whatever comes to mind in the comments (for the hell of it)

NOPE. Complete opposite actually.

Being a reply guy doesn't mean spamming replies to accounts with millions of followers

Being a reply guy means building genuine connections and friendships by leaving thoughtful replies to real people accounts. Accounts that are relative to your own interests and beliefs by sharing your true opinions about the post or topic at hand.

Here's a strategy you can adopt to become the perfect reply guy that allows you to build authentic friendships through sincere interactions.

Split your replies into 3 parts 👇🏽

➊ ACCOUNTS SIMILAR TO YOUR SIZE

You’re both at the stage of growing your accounts! Grow together.

Find cool accounts you share interests with, put them on a list (whether an X list or on Google Sheets or Notion) and interact with them daily!

Build friendships. Build relationships.

Be true to yourself and your opinions when you are leaving comments because that’s how you shine a light on your personality… & ultimately, that’s what attracts people to you — your personality 🧡

If you need a list of cool people to get started with; check out this 𝕏 list I curated: ➡️ Everyday Frens ⬅️ [follow the list & reply if you wanna be added to it]

➋ PEOPLE WITH HIGH QUALITY CONTENT

Lots of quality content creators on X with an active community (following) that consistently produce high quality content.

→ Connect with them in their comments
Learn from how they navigate thru X
Network and form relationships with them
Find other quality accounts by looking at who they reply to

🚦Here is my personal list of Quality X Creators you will not regret connecting with: ➡️ NEXT LEVEL CONNECTIONS ⬅️

➌ EXTRA LARGE ACCOUNTS: 1M+ FOLLOWERS

Find ‘giant’ accounts that post things you care about

THEN, here’s what you actually should do:
Don’t just reply to their posts, go into their comments section & interact with the people who left replies [ones that resonate with you or u find interesting]

Lots of people you can talk to and find common grounds with. Network 📈

This expands your visibility to a larger, more active audience + you gain impressions per reply > which can turn into profile clicks > followers.


Here's my "Giant Accounts" list I update regularly. Just find the accounts you resonate with and can leave authentic replies to: ➡️ GIANTS ⬅️

THIS 👆🏽 is how you grow and build an audience that likes you organically and authentically!

Think of it like making friends in school. Takes time, effort & nurture, but you build life-long connections.

  • It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality

  • Don’t be negative. Voice your opinions in a respectful manner

  • Be authentic and true to yourself on your replies

When you’re authentic with your interactions, u gain an authentic audience 🤍
