I wanted to pass along something that's been really working for me when it comes to growing visibility on social media. It’s called the "$1.80 strategy"..and no, it’s not about spending money. It’s about giving your “two cents” (a.k.a. a thoughtful comment) in a smart, consistent way.
The idea came from Gary Vee, and while it was made for Instagram, it actually works on most platforms.
Here’s how it goes: every day, you find 10 hashtags that are relevant to what you’re into—your business, your niche, your vibe. Then, for each hashtag, you check out the top 9 posts, and you leave a real, genuine comment on each one. Something thoughtful, not just “nice pic” or “love this.” That adds up to 90 meaningful comments a day, which is where the "$1.80" part comes from 90 x $0.02.
It might sound like a lot, but once you get in the groove, it becomes a fun thing to do thru the day. And the cool part? It works. People start noticing you. They check out your profile. You start showing up in other feeds, you start building real connections, and followers. Your engagement goes up, and you slowly start to become part of the conversations happening in your space.
The key is just being real. Don’t try to sell or self-promote, just show up, add value, and support others. Over time, it really does create momentum. It's not a magic switch, but it’s a solid, long-term way to grow that feels good and actually builds relationships.
If any of you give it a try, let me know how it goes! I’d love to cheer you on. I’m honestly excited about how much visibility it can bring when you stick with it.
Bless You,
E-MAN
