How to Quickly Grow on Social Media: "Let's Connect" DM Growth Hack
What is the "Let's Connect" DM strategy?
The "Let's Connect" message strategy is networking DMs: you DM people from your ideal audience not to sell, but to genuinely connect — and it's one of the fastest ways to grow a new X account.
"Let's Connect" message templates
- "Hey {name}, just looking for connections, don't worry I'm not trying to sell you anything just trying to connect, are you also using X for business or just enjoying the content?"
- "Yo {name}, seed oils are absolute trash, hope you aren't consuming them, curious are you still consuming them bro?"
- "Hey {name}, Netflix is for absolute bots, people who watch it everyday should be doing something better with their life, do you agree?"
There are many ways to go about it, but the goal is to not be salesy.
Why sending 100 of these a day works
I have 800 followers on X and an engaged audience (@fantasmadev). When I got started, I'd send 100 DMs like this per day. Why? People just checked out my profile and it boosted me in the algorithm. Plus, whenever I made a good post, my content showed up in the feed of everyone I DMed.
But Justin, you say, I can't manage 100 conversations. Yes, you can. It's so simple to do and high leverage for growing your accounts. Here's the typical flow:
- I send the first message.
- They say: "Great to connect!"
- I say: "That's great, I'm working on software, what are you working on?"
- They say: "Working on..."
- I say: "Awesome, best of luck, hope to see you more on X."
Done, that's it, barely any more back and forth. And yes, if I liked them, I'd do more. But this may not be for everyone, and that's okay, just telling you a trick that does work.
