Find 10–15 Fresh Creators to Engage with Each Week

A practical, platform-by-platform routine for discovering active creators who write about authentic AI-assisted writing, prompt craft, and creator workflows.

Quick Overview

Goal: surface micro-creators (500–5,000 followers) whose followers match your audience. Focus on engagement, not fame.

  • Target topics: ChatGPT writing, prompt engineering, human-sounding AI, AI writing workflow, freelance writers using AI.
  • Weekly target: 10–15 fresh creators or posts across Medium, X, and Instagram.

Step 1 — Define Search Intent

Look for creators who teach, experiment, or reflect — people whose followers want to learn and engage.

  • Prefer creators sharing personal experience or “aha” moments.
  • Prioritize posts with real comments and saves, not just likes.

Step 2 — Platform Filters

Medium

  • Search keywords: ChatGPT writing, AI writing workflow, prompt engineering for writers.
  • Filter: Latest instead of Top.
  • Open author profiles — aim for writers with 2–10 stories and 5–30 claps/comments.
  • Publications to check: The Writing Cooperative, Better Marketing, Towards AI, Artificial Corner.

X (Twitter)

  • Advanced search: 
    "ChatGPT writing" -filter:retweets
  • Combinations: "AI writing workflow" OR "prompt engineering".
  • Scan replies on useful threads — they often hide micro-creators.
  • Use TweetDeck columns for live monitoring.

Instagram

  • Hashtags: #ChatGPTwriting, #PromptEngineering, #AIWriting, #WritersOfInstagram.
  • Tap Recent posts and favor reels/carousels with genuine comments.
  • Use the "View more from" feature to find related creators.

Step 3 — Build a Discovery Dashboard

Track each discovery in a simple table (Notion or Google Sheets).

| Platform | Creator | Topic | Engagement | Followed? | Notes |

Fill it weekly with 10–15 new entries and prune inactive ones.

Step 4 — Evaluate for Fit

  • Does the content attract learners? ✅
  • Is the creator active (1–3 posts/week)? ✅
  • Does the tone match yours (clear, human, practical)? ✅

If yes to all three, they’re comment-worthy.

Step 5 — Refresh Weekly

  • Repeat discovery every Monday or Tuesday.
  • Add 10–15 new creators/posts and remove mismatches.
  • After 4 weeks you’ll have a list of ~40 active creators to engage with regularly.

Bonus — Find Hidden Gems

  • Look for posts where creators admit struggles with AI tone.
  • Find posts that share quick wins ("I fixed it by changing one line of my prompt").
  • Prefer first-person reflections — they match your Medium voice.

Mini Walkthrough (Example)

  1. Search X: "ChatGPT writing" -filter:retweets
  2. Find a post asking "Why does every AI blog sound the same?" with replies.
  3. Click a reply that mentions a prompt trick — open that profile.
  4. Add the creator to your sheet and plan a thoughtful comment.

Summary — 5-Step Discovery Formula

  • Define intent — target learners and reflectors.
  • Search — use keywords, hashtags, and Latest/Recent filters.
  • Track — log creators in Notion/Sheet.
  • Evaluate — keep active, aligned creators.
  • Refresh weekly — add 10–15 new names each cycle.
