The only DM advice you'll ever need
Everyone loves on X talking about DM’ing.
And for good reason.
DM’s are the key to monetizing your brand (warm DM’s that is).
They’re how you build relationships.
They’re how you get close with people.
They’re how you build people’s trust to the point they’re actually comfortable working with you.
But most people, quite simply, SUCK at sending DM’s.
They jump in too quickly.
They try to force things.
They’re so desperate to “connect” that they immediately give off a needy vibe.
And neediness turns people away faster than an all you can eat buffet turns away a 300lb dude who looks like he’s about to put them out of business.
So I thought in this email I’d break down the single DM strategy which built my network faster than any other.
And it’s the tactic which literally everyone with a big Twitter following uses.
It’s what separates the amateurs from the pros.
And it’s what will 10x the number of replies you get to the DM’s you send out.
You ready for this super secret strategy lol?
It’s actually the easiest thing in the world.
All you have to do when you send a DM to someone you want to get to know is this:
Act like the two of you are already best mates.
That’s literally it.
DM them like you would casually message a mate on WhatsApp.
Take the piss.
Call them a knob.
Tell them they’ve got a shit haircut.
Treat them EXACTLY like you’d treat someone you were already comfortable taking the piss out of.
Because everyone on X is far too serious.
Everyone is so uptight.
Everyone is always so worried and stressed about whether something they say is going to make people not like them.
And the result?
Everyone thinks they’re boring as fuck.
You don’t feel like you need to “provide value” to your mates.
So why do you care about “providing value” in the DM’s?
The value you bring is YOU.
Your personality.
Your sense of humour.
Your attitude to life.
And if the person you’re DM’ing doesn’t like it?
Fuck ‘em.
You were never going to be mates anyway in that case were you.
I’ve built a pretty big network on X at this point.
And every single time I send a DM to someone for the first time it isn’t to “provide them value”.
It’s to see if we’d actually get on as mates.
And because I don’t put pressure on the situation and feel like I NEED to hit it off with this person, I have a lot more success than most with my DM’s.
Neediness is a scarcity mindset.
Taking the piss is an abundance mindset.
And if you’re going to do well in this X game, you need an abundance mindset.
So there you are guys.
My grand DM advice to you:
Have a laugh and take the piss.
It’s not revolutionary, I know.
But it is what works.
And this way you’ll at least have a whole lot more fun in the process.
(Looking forward to you guys all roasting me in the DM’s after this email goes out hahaha…)
Talk soon,
