Let’s talk about what not to do with DMs.įor anybody, I might have listening … I don’t think that anyone I have listening to this show would do this, but do not cold hit on people. Okey dokey.įirst, let’s talk about some don’ts. I will post more in Stories when we post this episode in February because it’s not February yet. I’m really excited though because I’m featuring a couple of tips, ideas, that people shared over on Instagram when I posted this on my Stories because I wanted to highlight a couple of you guys. In case you don’t know, this will be really honest. I am really committed to you guys doing more of that and less of opening these inboxes up and being like, “Eww. That is like what this stuff is for, right? That’s why we do what we do. In addition to loving my DM inbox on Instagram because I hear from great people, I’ve also had the ability to get into other DM inboxes and start conversations with people I really respect or people I really wanted to work with and cultivate relationships that converted into actual business or actual opportunities. I want to talk today about some of the dos and don’ts of using that tool because here’s the deal. My Instagram DMs are like 80% of the time really cool people I want to talk to.

Not as often on my page, but definitely my personal profile. It’s one of the few places where I get quality messages, because more and more often, my Facebook inbox is filled with spam and cold pitches and gross messages, quite frankly. I love Instagram DMs a lot because I think they’re a really powerful way to shift from talking at people to talking with people. Today we’re talking about sliding into the DMs, but in like a non-dirty way.
