Instagram Cold DM Strategy That Actually Gets Replies

Cold messaging works if done correctly.

Most people fail because they focus on selling immediately.

Rule 1: Keep It Short

Short messages get more replies.

Bad example:

• Long sales paragraph

Good example:

• Simple introduction
• Clear value
• Soft call to action

Rule 2: Personalize Every Message

Mention something specific:

• Their niche
• Their page
• Their content

Rule 3: Do Not Sell in First Message

Start conversation first.

Build trust before pitching.

Rule 4: Follow Up Correctly

If no reply:

• Wait 2-3 days
• Send short follow-up
• Do not spam

Final Thoughts

Cold DM works when it feels human.

Be clear. Be respectful. Be patient.
