Add one useful layer
The best comments add a distinction, example, question, or tactical next step.
Avoid empty praise
Generic compliments rarely create memory. Specific comments create recognition.
Decide before you type
If you cannot say in one line what the comment adds, skip it. Popular threads are not the same as threads your buyers read.
FAQ
Should comments include a CTA?
Usually no. Comments should earn attention first. FollowerSpike only ever comments on your own posts, as a first comment or a plug, so comments on other people's posts stay yours to write.
