Want to grow faster on social? Don’t just post — reply better (even faster, with AI)

2024-07-16 | Social Media Growth, AI, Engagement, Productivity
Over the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with different ways to grow my audience — not just by posting more, but by engaging more. And one lesson really clicked: You don’t grow by posting. You grow by being part of conversations. 📢 The underestimated power of replies A good reply can: - Put your profile in front of a new audience - Spark meaningful conversations (aka algorithm fuel) - Build trust and familiarity with your niche - Show your personality and voice - Get retweeted, bookmarked, or even featured The best part? You don’t need 100K followers to do this. You just need to show up — consistently — in the right threads, with high-quality responses. 💀 But here’s the catch… - Finding time to reply is hard - Writing something thoughtful takes mental energy - And doing it across Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc. gets overwhelming I used to open X, scroll through mentions and interesting posts, and just… stare. “Should I be supportive? Funny? Insightful? Ugh, I’ll come back later.” (I didn’t.) 💡 What helped: using AI (the smart way) So I started testing a small AI Chrome extension that helps me: - Auto-generate reply options based on the original tweet/post - Set tone/mood: supportive, challenging, funny, etc. - Maintain my voice — I set my personality, and it adapts - Works on multiple platforms (X, LinkedIn, Reddit) It doesn’t replace me — I still edit and approve everything. But it speeds things up, gives me a head start, and helps me stay active without burning out. 📈 Since I started replying more (with AI assist): - I’ve gained more followers from replies than from some of my own posts - My DMs have more actual conversations, not just emoji reactions - And I feel like I’m part of my niche, not just broadcasting into the void
