HOW TO GAIN FOLLOWERS BY JUMPING INTO THE RIGHT CONVERSATIONS
You don’t need to reply more.
You just need to reply smarter.
Sometimes that means not starting the conversation, but joining the right ones.
Let’s break down a follower funnel not many people think or talk about
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:
➛ Find posts with a ton of comments in your niche (or a popular post in general).
➛ Look for the people leaving interesting replies > the ones who resonate with your vibe.
➛ Jump in and reply to their comment > add value, show your opinions, make it personal.
➛ They see your reply, get curious, click your profile.
➛ If your profile is solid, they follow. Boom, new connection.
This is also why it’s important to have a primed profile and post good content simultaneously while you’re trying to grow your account.

DM (MAYBE?)
Take It a Step Further ☕
Most people wait to be followed first.
Most people stay strangers.
You’re don’t have to be most people.
Extend the hand first.
What to do:
☑ Drop them a follow — even if they don’t follow you yet.
☑ Reply again or quote them if they say something smart.
☑ Send a simple DM:
“Hey, I really liked your take on this [post]. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff. 😊”
No pitch. No ‘favor’ you’re asking for.
Just a tap on the shoulder that says: I see you. (not in a creepy way 😂)
It costs nothing but has the potential to build an incredible new friendship.
You’re meeting people where they’re already talking. You’re not shouting into the void; you’re sliding into a conversation that’s already happening.
☑ YOUR MISSION (should you choose to accept it)
▫️ Step 1: Scout a post in your niche that’s buzzing with replies.
▫️ Step 2: Find a few comments that resonate with your vibe.
▫️ Step 3: Reply to those commenters with something valuable or intriguing.
▫️ Step 4: Make sure your profile is ready to convert visitors into followers.
