Suggested time budget
Use roughly 60–70% of content time for selective replies and 30–40% for owned posts. This is an experiment starting point, not a required ratio.
This is a CompoundX starting plan, not an X algorithm rule. Do not fill a quota with weak replies when qualified opportunities are unavailable.

Connect discovery, writing, and publishing
Use the timeline markers to find relevant conversations that are still forming, draft a contextual reply in the source language, and save the strongest ideas. Turn at least one saved insight into an original post and place it on the calendar so profile visitors see a clear topic when they arrive.
Who to reply to
Reply to active niche peers and relevant mid-sized authors while the conversation is still forming.
What to skip
Skip generic praise, unrelated viral posts, saturated reply sections, and anything where you cannot add a distinct idea.
What a good week looks like
- Choose two narrow topics you want to be remembered for.
- Build a small list of active peers and relevant mid-sized authors.
- Run two short reply sessions each day instead of continuous scrolling.
- Publish at least one owned idea that your best replies can point back to.
- Review which conversations produced profile visits, follows, or a second interaction.
Common failure modes
- Replying to unrelated viral posts because the view count is large.
- Writing generic praise that gives nobody a reason to open your profile.
- Changing topic every day before the audience can associate you with anything.

Frequently asked questions
Should I always hit the daily reply quota?
No. It is a time budget and starting point. Fewer strong replies are better than filling the quota with generic activity.
