Three X searches that find people asking for your tool

X's search box is a free lead list if you type the right phrases. Three queries surface people asking for a tool like yours today.

1 min read

People ask for tools on X every day. You just have to search the way they write.

Three queries to save

  • "is there a tool" <your problem> finds direct asks.
  • "alternative to" <competitor> finds people ready to switch.
  • "anyone know" <your category> -filter:links cuts out promo posts.

Switch results to Latest. A post from an hour ago is worth ten from last month.

Reply in public, briefly

Answer in one or two sentences, say you built something, and skip the link unless they ask. A pitch gets ignored, but a helpful reply gets a follow.

Running these searches daily gets tedious. First10 runs them for you and sends the matches with draft replies.
