Followers are vanity. Conversations are equity. Here’s what changed when I focused on replies, not likes. I used to post and ghost. 20 likes, 0 DMs. Then I spent 1 week replying to posts like a real person. Not “nice post” — real takes. On a thread about school fees, I wrote: “The plan matters more than the amount. Drop step 1 and I’ll help you refine it.” The creator replied. 5 people liked MY comment. 3 checked my profile. 1 became a client. Konnect’s algorithm rewards depth, not dopamine. 1 thoughtful reply = 10 “nice post” comments. Why? Because replies keep people on the app. Konnect boosts what keeps people here. Your comments are your portfolio. Founders read comments before they read bios. I stopped asking “how do I go viral?” and started asking “whose problem can I solve in 2 sentences?” That shift brought collaborations, not just followers. A guy saw my reply on a tech post and asked me to audit his landing page. ₦35k. From a comment. Don’t just post. Participate. The next person who pays you is probably reading the comments right now. They’re not looking for the loudest account. They’re looking for the clearest thinker. What’s one post you can add real value to today? Don’t comment to be seen. Comment to serve. The profile visits will handle themselves.
