Commenting on creator posts is a powerful way to increase your visibility. By engaging thoughtfully on relevant topics, you can get your profile in front of target audiences.

Expected results

  • 10,000+ weekly profile appearances

  • Regular engagement from target audience

  • Higher visibility in your space

Finding creators to follow

  • Search for your topic on LinkedIn

  • Look at the "More profiles for you" suggestions on the right side

  • Check who appears in your feed regularly

  • Start with 20-30 creators and expand gradually

  • ~30 comments per post is ideal - easier to stand out

  • Check for the relevant audience

☝️ Pro tip: Use tools like Favikon.com to find active voices in your space


Engaging with top voices

The goal is to attract their audience

  • React only to posts directly relevant to your narrative

  • Use AI topic monitoring to find relevant content

  • Focus on adding unique value

  • Aim for audience attention, not the creator

Supporting friendly creators

The goal is to build the creator audience that supports your posts while you support theirs.

  • Comment on posts regularly (daily/weekly)

  • Support their content consistently, even if their content is not very relevant to your narrative (but in your general space)

  • They will support you back

☝️ Pro tip: Move creators from top voices to friendly creators when they start commenting on your posts

Commenting strategies

Unlike prospect engagement, here you're aiming for the audience's attention, not the creator's. Stand out through:

Adding expertise

  • Agree with post but add new insights

  • Share practical experience

  • Reference real examples

  • Add actionable tips

Using contradiction

  • Respectfully disagree

  • Provide alternative view

  • Back up with experience

  • Keep it professional

Injecting humor

  • Use when appropriate

  • Keep it relevant

  • Stay professional

  • Be authentic

Making mini-posts

  • Write longer, thoughtful responses

  • Structure your comment clearly

  • Add your unique perspective

  • Make it valuable standalone

☝️ Pro tip: Use "Customize comment" feature to craft deeper responses.

☝️ Pro tip: Add your expertise to Insights library - this helps AI generate better suggestions using your common talking points.

Using filters effectively

  • Post topics to find relevant discussions (useful for top voices)

  • Last comment time to maintain regular touchpoints (useful for friendly creators)

  • Prospect list to focus on specific group

  • Post type to filter content types

Sort feed by Time posted to catch discussions early.


Social listening

You can use Extrovert as a social listening tool and spot intent signals:

  • Use AI topic monitoring to find relevant content

  • Comment on the post and wait 2-3 days

  • Open post on LinkedIn and check who else commented or liked the post

  • Scrape the audience using tools like LinkedHelper

  • Many of them would be your perfect prospects if the post topic is relevant to your area

  • Look for your target roles or filter automatically against your ICP using Clay

  • Reach out to them

  • Do not forget to warm them up first
