🚀 Actionable Growth Step #1: Comment Hacking


Why This Matters:

If you have a small account (especially under 100K or even 10K followers), your primary goal should be maximizing exposure. While many focus on getting Reel on the Explore page, a highly underrated strategy is leveraging competitor engagement—also known as "Comment Hacking."


🔍 What Is Comment Hacking?


Comment hacking involves strategically engaging with competitors or large accounts in your niche to attract their audience to your profile.

Example in Action:

Suppose you run a motivational page (e.g., @YourMotivationHub).

Identify a big competitor (e.g., @Voger, a popular motivational account).

Study their top-performing posts and analyze the most-liked comments.



Key Insight:

The top comment on a viral post can drive significant traffic to your profile.
