How I Used Niche Filtering to 10x My Reach in Crypto
From 500 to 5,000 followers in 90 days. Here's how targeted niche filtering and smart reply strategies built my Web3 audience.
The Starting Point
I was a DeFi creator trying to grow my audience. I posted daily about DeFi protocols, yield farming, and crypto security. But my content wasn't finding the right people.
The problem wasn't the content—it was targeting. I was replying to everything crypto-related, spreading myself too thin. I needed focus.
The Challenge
The Scattergun Approach
Before niche filtering, I replied to:
- • Every crypto price post
- • Generic blockchain news
- • Meme coins and speculation
- • Anything with "Bitcoin" in it
Result: Low engagement from people who weren't my audience
The Problem
Too broad targeting meant my replies reached traders who didn't care about DeFi, or meme enthusiasts who weren't interested in yield strategies. I was talking to everyone, converting no one.
The Niche Filtering Approach
I discovered ReplyBro's niche filtering and everything changed. Instead of replying to everything crypto-related, I focused only on posts matching my exact niche: DeFi, protocols, and Web3 security.
My Filter Setup
Before Filtering
- • 50+ replies per day
- • Mixed topics and audiences
- • 12K monthly impressions
- • 2% conversion to followers
After Filtering
- • 25-30 targeted replies per day
- • Crypto & Web3 focused
- • 125K monthly impressions
- • 8% conversion to followers
Crypto Keywords That Work
Not all crypto keywords are equal. Here are the ones that drove the most engagement:
High-Value Keywords
- • DeFi protocols
- • Yield farming strategies
- • Smart contract security
- • Protocol governance
- • Tokenomics deep dives
- • MEV protection
Medium-Value Keywords
- • Layer 2 solutions
- • Cross-chain bridges
- • NFT utilities
- • DAO structures
- • Crypto audits
- • Staking mechanisms
What to Skip
These keywords sound relevant but attract the wrong audience:
- • Bitcoin price predictions
- • "When moon" posts
- • Pump and dump schemes
- • Celebrity crypto endorsements
- • Generic blockchain news
