too much complaining about how it's hard to get engagement on FC. i don't buy it

I'll spend 5 minute reviewing every account that wants a vibe check then give a couple recommendations on how to improve your fc presence

24 hours to get on the list

brand accounts ok

no public roasting - only private feedback (if i determine you're genuine)

s/o @uncledavo and @rafi for being mega shippors and helping me get this out quickly via frame.town

post profile reivew mega thread on learnings

almost 70 profiles reviewed ranging in follower count from double to six digits. feedback has officially been sent to everyone who requested it.

except for a few very niche cases, everyone's feedback fit into one of 9 broad categories

thread below for the /growth curious

tag people into relevant conversations - whether it's someone high profile or a friend, this is a very easy way to make sure a conversation doesn't dead end and continues on to give value beyond simple replies like "thanks" or "cool"


cast in a mix of channels - large channels can give distribution, but small channels give focused attention.  If you're only casting in one type you're likely to either get lost in the mix or never reach scale of audience respectively

more thoughtful replies - I hadn't considered this one until the review process, but I suspect tipping has let people offload cognitive work to monetary reward.  But here's the thing - it's not the same.  Even if you're going to tip (and feel free, this is not a stop tipping rn cast), helping people understand why or giving constructive feedback will generally speaking be well received and help gain you followers/reach


give context  - similar to the thoughtful advice above, but different in the sense that it's important to remember not everyone is in your cozy corner. This is particularly relevant when top level casting or sharing a new product through an automated link.  No one wants to see the exact thing 50 times in their feed, add context so people know why they should care and stand out from the crowd


Add personal expertise - so so many caster who are clearly smart and interesting not sharing their personal expertise!  This one was a bit of a shocker, but the review forced me to dig into profiles a bit more than I normally would only to find folks with deep knowledge not sharing it.  If this is you, I highly recommend sharing more about what you know whenever relevant for all our sakes <3


Join big threads - pretty simple, if the attention is somewhere sometimes you just have to go meet it where it is


Give feedback - casters love feedback, but so many people seemed unwilling to give it.  No matter what you're knowledge base or expertise is, smart builders know we're all potential users and no piece of feedback is useless (even if it's not necessarily pertinent)


participate in more non-crypto interests - some of y'all just casting about tokens all day long.  There is no one in the world who is literally only interested in crypto.  Be a human, say more about the rest of the world outside of web3 to find your tribe members who want to engage with you 


That's it! Thanks for making it to the end and hopefully this is helpful for everyone seeking to create more engaging content because I definitely want a more engaging feed.



wuf, out 🫡


Take a stance - don't be scared to be wrong and learn in public. It's cool to share new things, but it's hard to engage if there's no stance being taken.  Whether it's a hot take, or simply agreeing with someone, you'll learn more and spur more conversation with other interesting people by taking a public stance (especially of the opposing stance can be reasonably taken as well)

Doing my best to help the network that's given me so much. Hope it helps 🫂 

Get over that block! It's for the good of my feed! 💜

> whenever relevant to all our sakes

is the mental block I struggle with (or at least one of them :))

But great thread here, thanks for helping to make us all better!
