HookPly | grow X in the replies

We tested a simple idea: what if you stopped posting on X for two weeks and only replied? Result on a real account: 2x reach, and half of all site traffic came from replies. Check the playbook, and what HookPly fits in

The worst part of reply strategy is the waiting. You know which 10 accounts matter for your niche. You just can't sit there refreshing them between meetings, work and actual life. Timing is a machine's job. Words are yours.

@marclou @trust_mrr automated accounts getting nuked even when verified is broken, especially if you're literally just posting your own product updates

My 𝕏 account @trust_mrr was suspended overnight. No explanation was given. I use this account to automatically share public updates from my startup marketplace, TrustMRR: - Newly listed startups - Completed acquisitions - Listings with high buyer interest The account is verified and followed by 5,000+ people. I'm puzzled. What should I do @nikitabier plz?

@TaylorHoliday retention economics after iOS changes - most brands still optimizing for first purchase like it's 2019

CTC is doing an in-person ecommerce growth workshop for 7-figure brands Sept. 1st. Tickets open up next week. What topics would you want to see covered?

@Deviled_meggs_ 🫡

Any ideas for how I can 5x this?

@dagorenouf yes and then the happiness fades because you're not building anything

Have you ever been so perfectly happy that you stop building side projects?

@neilpatel the ltv arbitrage window is maybe 6 months left, same thing happened with fb ads 2014-2016

Most brands are losing on TikTok Shop because they're pricing wrong. When I looked at the data, 81% of everything sold there was under $30. The winners aren't using it to make a huge profit on the first sale. They're buying customers cheaply, even at a small loss, then making real money on the back end. But every underpriced channel gets discovered and gets expensive. This one's next. #TikTokShop #EcommerceStrategy #CustomerAcquisition #SocialCommerce

@levelsio same thing happened with Huawei bans, now half of asia runs on hardware DC cant even audit

US: *restricts US AI model because too dangerous* China: *builds better Chinese AI model* Everyone: *switches to Chinese AI model* This is why restricting models probably doesn't work, it's much more preferable (for US) to have everyone on US AI models so at least they can monitor what everyone is doing Now it's China that's monitoring what everyone is doing!

@TheCoolestCool the best content comes from documenting what you're learning right now, not waiting til you've figured it all out

Don’t wait for everything to be perfect. Some people say they’ll wait until they’re a real expert to create content. They say they’ll wait until they’re super successful. But in that time they could have been building their audience & biggest fans. You don’t need to be the best in the world to teach others. You just need to be slightly ahead of someone else.

@tibo_maker superhuman did this in 2019, waitlist grew 10x faster than if they stayed open

sorry guys, too many demands we had to close signups 🤷‍♂️

@lilyraynyc bing has users?

Guys, I’m not asking about rank tracking tools that do tracking on Bing I also know that Bing Webmaster Tools exists 🤦🏽‍♀️

@petecodes 33% open rate with founders is insane, most newsletters are lucky to hit 20%

Now my feed is back to normal, got a wee question: If you've been enjoying the High Signal newsletter I send, I have an ad spot available tmrw 2,000 founders on my list, open rates usually 33% $150 and it gets you a 31 DR backlink too Any takers?

@glenngabe the timing is perfect too - right when gemini needs training data most. eu just handed competitors exactly what they need

Grab the popcorn. This will be interesting :) I see Google using cybersecurity risks as a reason to not share. We'll see -> The EU issues two decisions under the DMA that order Google to provide rival AI assistants and search engines comparable access to Android and some Search data "Google was ordered to begin sharing anonymized search engine data with rivals, including makers of A.I. chatbots, by January, in an attempt to create more competition." nytimes.com/2026/07/16/tec…

@steventey the $50 ones also want a custom SLA and dedicated slack channel

> $50/mo customer: “can we jump on a call? we need X, Y, Z features to be able to use your product, oh also we need to run it by our procurement and the payment needs to be done via manual invoicing, no cards” > $5,000/mo customer: “money has been wired, should arrive by EoD”

@lilyraynyc @DavidKonitzny @dhinckley @suganthan @wilreynolds If this trend continues, authority will become even more important than traditional SEO. The real challenge will no longer be ranking, but becoming a source trusted by AI systems.

This is a great new article by @DavidKonitzny, and it echoes similar work that others like @dhinckley, @suganthan and @wilreynolds have recently shared: ChatGPT's query fan-out process is becoming more refined and precise over time. I think it's particularly interesting to zoom out and look at the larger trends here... because in my opinion, all of this points to OpenAI's early efforts at doing what Google has tried to do with E-E-A-T. In David's new article, he shows how ChatGPT is more reliant on site: searches for trusted/reputable domains and how the model adds words like "official," to fan-out searches - sort of like how @dhinckley observed that ChatGPT has been adding "case studies" and how @wilreynolds mentioned that it's more frequently mentioning trusted brands and entities in query fan-outs. David also noticed that the site arXiv.org is being retrieved more frequently to generate higher-quality answers. (Remember when Google started frequently ranking the FDA, Mayo Clinic, Harvard, CDV, etc. in top positions for health queries?) I see these as early attempts to increase the trustworthiness and authoritativeness of ChatGPT responses that pull from search results. I also think these changes will make it increasingly difficult to consistently earn citations from spammy, lesser-known domains. linkedin.com/pulse/how-do-l…

@KateBour how do you find truly new ideas, rather than just repeating already great ideas? Is it simply a list of hypotheses and topics that interest you?

Contrarian ≠ Divisive I see so many smart people make this mistake. You don’t need to piss people off to get attention and drive action. Being revelatory is a better goal Help your ideal audience see the world differently That’s where the magic happens
