Writing Comments on LinkedIn Posts

ReachDraft can generate thoughtful comments on LinkedIn posts that add genuine value to the discussion. No more staring at a blank comment box.

You must select "Comment" before generating. If you are viewing a LinkedIn post but a different format is selected (Connection, Message, etc.), ReachDraft will not read the post. It will generate a generic profile-based message instead. Always click Comment first so ReachDraft knows to scan the post content.

When to Use Comment Mode

Comment mode is designed for engaging with LinkedIn posts in your feed or on someone's profile. Use it when you want to:

Build visibility by commenting on industry posts
Start a conversation with someone before sending a connection request
Add your perspective to a discussion without spending 10 minutes drafting

Step 1: Open a LinkedIn Post

Navigate to any LinkedIn post you want to comment on. This can be:

A post in your feed
A post on someone's profile activity
A shared article or update

Step 2: Open ReachDraft and Select Comment

Click the ReachDraft icon in your toolbar, then select "Comment" from the Format buttons. ReachDraft will automatically scan the post content.

Step 3: Review the Post Preview

The profile section will hide and a Post Preview section will appear, showing:

The post author's name
The post content (or a preview of it)

This confirms ReachDraft captured the right post.

Step 4: Add Your Angle (Optional)

The context field changes to "Your angle" in comment mode. Use it to steer the comment in a specific direction:

"I have experience with this from my work at..."
"I disagree with the second point because..."
"This reminds me of a similar situation in our industry"

If you leave it blank, ReachDraft will find its own angle based on the post content.

Step 5: Generate and Insert

Click "Generate Message" (the button text stays the same). Your comment will appear in the output area. Click "Insert Comment" to paste it directly into LinkedIn's comment box.

Tip: Comments that reference a specific point from the post perform much better than generic praise. ReachDraft is trained to do this automatically, but adding your own angle makes it even more authentic.

What Makes a Good LinkedIn Comment

ReachDraft generates comments that follow these principles:

2-4 sentences max — concise comments get more engagement
References something specific from the post, not generic "Great post!"
Adds value — an insight, experience, or thoughtful question
No hashtags or tags — keeps it natural
Matches the post's tone — serious posts get serious comments
