Draft comments on other people's posts that actually earn you visibility
Generate substantive, specific comment drafts for target posts — built to be worth replying to, not a "Great post!" that gets buried and signals nothing.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
Here's the post I want to comment on (paste the text or a summary): A founder posted that they stopped doing quarterly OKRs because the team spent more time reporting on goals than working toward them.. My angle or expertise relevant to this: I've run OKRs at two companies — worked at 15 people, broke down completely at 80. My relationship to the poster, if any: Don't know them personally, found the post via a mutual connection. What I want this comment to do for me: Get noticed by other operations leaders who might see this thread. Write 3 comment drafts, each a genuinely different move: 1. Add a concrete example, data point, or counterpoint from my own experience that extends the post — not a restatement of what they already said 2. Ask a specific follow-up question that a thoughtful reader would actually want answered, showing I engaged with the argument, not just the topic 3. Offer one specific resource, framework, or distinction that adds something the post didn't cover Keep each under 400 characters so it doesn't get visually buried as a wall of text in the feed. None of the three may contain "Great post," "So true," "Love this," or any variation of a pure affirmation with no added content. Each comment should read as more about the post's idea than about me — if a draft is really just self-promotion wearing a comment's clothing, rewrite it.

Why this works
LinkedIn's algorithm treats a comment as a stronger relevance signal than a like, and it can surface an active commenter's profile to the original poster's network and mutual connections — but only when the comment itself earns further engagement, like replies or reactions on the comment. A generic "Great post!" gets buried under dozens of identical ones and produces no downstream signal, while a comment substantive enough to get its own reply extends the visibility chain further than the original post alone. The instruction to reject anything that's "self-promotion wearing a comment's clothing" targets the second-most common failure — a comment that technically isn't a bare affirmation but is really just a pitch, which readers and posters both recognize instantly.
