45. Instagram DMs 101: What to Say to Actually Get Real Conversations Going
Description
If someone leaves you a comment or replies to your Story and your brain immediately goes:
“Cool… but what do I say back?” ... this episode is gonna save you.
DMs are where relationships are built, trust is formed, and honestly? Where most sales quietly happen. Especially if you have a smaller audience, what you do in the DMs matters so much more than you think.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- The DM opener that works about 80% of the time (and feels like texting a friend)
- How to move from “cute comment” to real conversation
- 3 non-awkward DM conversation starters you can literally copy
- How to naturally pivot from chatting → freebie or paid offer (without feeling spammy)
If DMs make you freeze, overthink, or ghost people by accident, this one’s your new go-to.
