First Customers hubFind Technical Buyers on X
By Edmund Yong12 min read
Use X only if you can find recent posts where buyers describe the problem in their own words.
It is especially useful around AI tools, devtools, founder tools, productivity workflows, indie products, and technical audiences. It is weak when the buyer is not there or when your plan is to write viral threads for other founders.
Replies Are Not A Broadcast Channel
X says repeated duplicated and unsolicited replies can be treated as spam. Write replies manually, with context, and do not automate cold replies or DMs.
Direct Answer
Use X to find pain signals, reply helpfully, build light trust, and move into permission-based conversations.
Do not use it for hashtag stuffing, engagement pods, automated keyword replies, or bulk DMs.
