Questions in your niche: X search recipes

Chapter notes

Answering questions is the slowest and most reliable way to build a following on X. These recipes find people asking things in your niche, from total beginners to people stuck on a specific problem.

The question mark operator does the heavy lifting: ? keeps posts that contain one. Pair it with "how do I", "new to" or "stuck on" and you get real questions instead of rhetorical ones. The "nobody answered yet" recipe uses -min_replies:1, which keeps posts with fewer than one reply. That negated form is community-documented, not in X's help pages, so if it stops working, remove it and sort by Latest instead.

Set aside fifteen minutes a day, answer two or three questions fully, and skip the self-promotion. People check the profile of someone who helped them, and that is where your link belongs.
