2 个月Great points! Commenting is such an underrated approach. Perfect way to overcome the "stage fear" of posting while learning what your audience actually cares about. We tried this at Extrovert and here's what worked really well: 1) Short replies (30-50 words max) for better engagement 2) Simple explanations for complex topics 3) Personal examples instead of generic advice 4) Mirroring the language style of target accounts
