"Just shipped v2 of our waitlist validation tool. Learned more about our users in 2 weeks than the previous 6 months..."

Engage authentically

Read. Think. Comment. You write every word.

"Love this approach! We're doing something similar with Buttondown's waitlist cap as a forcing function. How did you decide on 2 weeks vs longer validation windows?"

Progress: 8/90 today · Week streak: 4 days

That's it. Read. Think. Comment. Repeat.

20-30 minutes a day. Real connections. Actual growth.

You're posting. Nobody's watching.

Great content. Zero traction.

The algorithm doesn't care about you until other people do. You need to give before you get.

The $1.80 strategy works.

One e-commerce brand got +700% more DM orders after just one week of consistent engagement. Another saw +290% web conversions.

But here's what that case study also reveals:

The first few days sucked.

The marketer behind the study admits she was too salesy, too generic, left comments like "Great post!" that nobody cared about. It took her 4 days to figure out what authentic engagement actually looks like.

"To be honest, I didn't get it right at first. In the beginning, I was too 'selling', insincere, didn't read the post texts, or just left a generic 'wow, this is amazing' in the comments. Somewhere around day four, I think I started getting the essence of the strategy."

— Liel Anisenko, marketing consultant

That's the real problem with the $1.80 strategy.

It's not just time. It's the learning curve. Most people quit before they figure it out.

The part nobody tells you

Manual $1.80 Strategy

  • ✗ 1-3 hours/day hunting for posts
  • ✗ Endless scrolling through hashtags
  • ✗ Hard to stay consistent
  • ✗ Most people quit by week 2
  • ✗ Right before it would've worked

With SkySurge

  • ✓ 20-30 min/day (posts pre-curated)
  • ✓ Focused engagement, zero scrolling
  • ✓ Progress tracking keeps you accountable
  • ✓ Still here at month 3
  • ✓ Long enough to get good at this

You're going to be awkward at first. Your comments will be generic. You'll probably try to sneak in self-promotion.

This is normal.

The difference? SkySurge gives you enough at-bats that you'll actually stick around long enough to figure it out.

Week 1: You're learning
Week 2: You're improving
Week 4: You're dangerous

Most people quit on day 3. The ones who make it to week 2 win.

Your Daily Engagement Feed

(With training wheels)

SkySurge doesn't automate your comments. That would defeat the entire point.

What it does automate: finding those 90 posts.

Instead of hours hunting through hashtags and scrolling endlessly, SkySurge gives you a curated feed of posts worth your time and attention.

  • Set your hashtags (up to 10)
  • Filter by follower count (engage with peers, not celebrities)
  • Skip accounts you've already engaged with this week
  • Track your daily progress toward 90 engagements
  • Read, comment, and like without leaving the app

You still write every comment.
You still decide what's worth engaging with.
You still build real relationships.

SkySurge just removes the grunt work of finding the posts.

This is not a bot.

If you're looking for "auto-comment" software, this isn't it. SkySurge helps you execute the $1.80 strategy faster — but you're still doing the work.

And that's exactly why it works.

What makes a good comment?

SkySurge curates the posts. You write the comments.
Here's what works (and what doesn't):

Generic Praise

"Love this!" "So true!" "Great post!"

Gets ignored

Self-Promotion

"Great point! Check out my profile for more tips!"

Gets you blocked

Competitor Hijacking

Commenting on competitors' posts to steal followers

Obvious and gross

Ask a Question

"This resonates — how did you handle the technical debt when you scaled past 10 users?"

Starts a conversation

Share Related Experience

"We're 3 weeks into our validation experiment and seeing similar patterns. Did you find X helped?"

Builds credibility, adds value

Honest Reaction

"This is exactly what I needed today. We just pivoted and I've been questioning if we're moving too slow."

Shows you're human, creates connection

Pro tip: If you wouldn't say it to someone's face at a conference, don't type it in a comment.

"I stopped selling or promoting the product completely. I stopped leaving meaningless, canned responses. I invested a few moments of thought about what the original poster was talking about, trying to connect to their sentiment."

— From the $1.80 case study

The first week you'll be awkward. Week two you'll be better. Week four you'll be writing comments people actually reply to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the $1.80 strategy?

Coined by Gary Vaynerchuk: leave your "two cents" (a thoughtful comment) on 9 top posts across 10 hashtags every day — 90 interactions total. It's a proven approach for growing an authentic audience by contributing to conversations that matter to you.

Gary Vee says this takes 3 hours a day. You say 20-30 minutes?

Gary's doing this fully manually — searching hashtags, scrolling feeds, finding relevant posts. That does take hours. SkySurge pre-curates the posts for you, so you spend your time on what matters: reading and engaging. You'll still spend 20-30 minutes, but it's focused time, not mindless scrolling.

Does SkySurge post on my behalf automatically?

No. SkySurge never posts, likes, or replies without your explicit action. Every interaction requires you to click a button. There is no automation or scheduling of engagement.

Why not just automate the comments?

Because that's spam, and spam gets you banned. More importantly: the value of the $1.80 strategy isn't just the followers — it's the learning. When you read 90 high-performing posts daily, you learn what works in your niche. You can't learn if a bot is doing it.

I tried this for 3 days and got zero followers. Does it work?

In the case study, the marketer admitted the first 3-4 days were rough — too salesy, too generic. By day 4 she figured out authentic engagement. By day 7: +700% DM orders. Most people quit on day 3, right before it clicks. Keep going.

Do I need to hit 90 comments every single day?

In the case study, the marketer averaged $1.40/day (70 comments) instead of $1.80 because she skipped promotional posts. Still got incredible results. Consistency matters more than perfection. 30/day done every day beats 90/day done once a week.

What are the different plans?

Free includes 3 hashtags and a daily goal of 30 — enough to build the habit. Starter ($9/mo) unlocks 10 hashtags, 90 daily goal, and 30-day analytics — the full $1.80 strategy. Pro ($19/mo) adds 25 hashtags, unlimited daily interactions, and a full year of analytics. New users get a 14-day trial of Starter features.

Yes. SkySurge uses Bluesky's official OAuth — you authenticate directly with Bluesky, and we never see or store your password. All data is stored on a European server. You can delete everything at any time from your account page.
