6 simple steps to improve your Twitter DM game

Everyone says, ‘spend time in the DMs’. Most people get it wrong. When you send a DM, it is not about you. It is about the other person. But how do you make it easy for the other person to respond? Follow these 6 steps…

1. Engage with someone before you send a DM

Comment on their tweets. Join their space.

Someone is more likely to open your DM if they have engaged with you before.

The previous engagement is a reason to contact.

2. Be specific in your ask

Life rewards the specific and punishes the vague.

Specificity generates the answer you are looking for.

Generic questions take more time to respond to.

Make it easy for someone to respond.

3. Be brief

People tend to confuse value with the amount you say.

More words does not equal value.

Brief is better.

The less you say, the more likely someone will read it.

Don’t say more than you need to.

If you can say it in 5 words, don’t use 10.

4. Give value

Showcase how you can benefit the other person.
