How I Leave Replies that Grab Attention

(Without sounding fake, needy, or worse… worth ignoring)

Most people reply like this:

“So true.”
“Love this!”
“👏👏👏”
“This is fire 🔥”

↳ And then wonder why their replies don’t grow their account.

Here’s the problem:
These replies don’t add anything.

→ They’re just low-effort meaningless, agreement or encouragement every other account is leaving.

You’re not joining the conversation.

You’re just echoing it.

If you want your reply to be a magnet, you need 3 things:

1. VALIDATE THE POST

→ “I get why this hits. I felt the same when…”

2. MAKE YOURSELF RELATABLE

→ “But I handled it this way: I…”

3. LEAVE AN OPEN QUESTION

→ “Anyone else have a different advice or way of doing xyz?”

This pulls people in

Not just the original post-er
but other people scrolling the comments too

They’re drawn into your story.

Give everyone a reason to respond, talk to you, get to know you and guess what?

Follow YOU.

Because now it feels like a real conversation, not just a clap from the sidelines.

Also… I don’t just preach, i practice these too and my replies always garner attention.. Just saying:
