Write replies that get follow-backs

5 personal replies for fresh posts, built on the formula that took me from 400 to 2,000.

Here are 5 fresh posts from people I want to connect with, with a line from each person's bio:
[paste post + bio line, 5 times]

For each one, write a reply using this formula:
[Their name] + one specific thing from their post or bio + "followed you" + one real question.

Rules:
- Every reply must be clearly personal. If it could be pasted under another post, rewrite it.
- No "great post", no compliments without substance.
- Max 2 short sentences plus the question.

When to use it

• Use it when you have 5 fresh posts from builders you want to know and no idea what to say. It's the reply step from my X playbook: a personal line, a follow and a real question. Run it once a day during your reply session.

• Turn X followers into email subscribers
• Rewrite your homepage headline
• Make automated emails feel human
