I think not only does it work for Facebook groups and school groups and discords, it also works on just replying and commenting to creators that are in your niche. So for example, on YouTube, like on this podcast, Startup Ideas podcast on YouTube, I recognize the same people who comment every single time. Like for example, there's this guy named Ryan Aldridge.

No idea who he is, but I know he comments. Yeah, hi Ryan. And I know that he comments on every single video and he says something like pretty thoughtful. And if Ryan hit me up and he was like, you know, on Twitter, let's say, and he was like, hey, I'd love to do something.

I don't know if I'd say yes, but I'm 10 times, 50 times, 100 times more likely to do something with Ryan because I've seen his name so many goddamn times. And the same is true with Omar, who was recently on the pod, who taught a 90-minute session around using AI to build directories. he was like a listener of the pod. He was like commenting on stuff.

He, you know, he, he was messaging me, you know, from that, you know, he ended up getting access to the pod, which, um, you know, that episode might get a hundred plus thousand views and listens, which is worth a lot of, you What I suggest people do is turn on notification bells for a list of creators that you care about and just be the first person to write something thoughtful.

Don't write like cool video or great thread on Twitter, right? Like, are you kidding me? Don't do that. But add value through comments and you'll also attract people other commenters, you'll also attract trust with the creator. Thoughts?

I think, uh, a lot of people hit me up and they're like, I, you know, I do cold email or I reach out to people and no one, like I don't hear back and they get like super, they feel bad and I don't blame, blame them for feeling bad. Um, but it's just that the reach out isn't targeted. It's not personalized. It's not, it's about, it's not about the person you're reaching out to.

And I think like gifting is such an underrated tool to get someone to be on your side. Um, it just stacks the cards in your favor. So I love hearing stories about like a 50, you know, 50 K guitar that's like meaningful, you know, like, um, I think, uh, I also heard a story.
