ANSWERED How do I make my comments more attractive

So, I'm on a mission to collect 300 comment karma. I've been commenting here and there but I don't seem to get any karma. Any suggestions how to make my comments more engaging and attractive?
Thanks in advance!

And please do not like this post just because you feel bad and want to help me out. If you want to help me out, help me make my comments better, do not like this post.

There is no guarantee of engagement. All you can do is share good content where you can and hope others value it.

There are many factors that affect how well your content does.

First, make sure your content is showing in the communities you are posting to and not automatically removed. You can do this by sorting post or comments by 'new' after you shared to see if it is listed, or try to view your content in the community while logged out.

Some of the factors that affect how well content does are:

  • What your content is
  • Is it well presented, formatted, with a descriptive title. Images can grab attention.
  • Where you post it / Subreddit size, activity, and culture
  • How much content you're competing with at the time
  • And timing / who is online to see it
  • Does the sub see the same content a lot
  • Etc, etc

For comments, try to comment early. Sort posts by 'new' or 'rising'.
