This is the automated evolution of the Manually DM a sign-up link to your new social media followers tactic

Yong-Soo Chung writes the First Class Founders newsletter.

And like many of us here, part of his growth comes from Twitter.

What he does differently, though, is auto-DM every new follower he gets.

“Spammy, no way that works.”

Whenever he gets a new follower, an auto DM is sent.

Auto DMs aren’t my favorite thing, but if used correctly and for scaling the personal side, they apparently help!

As with everything, use it with a balance!

🕵️‍♂️ How to steal it?

This is the message structure 👇

→ First, he reminds them why they followed him in the first place

→ Then he goes straight to the newsletter pitch

→ He uses a specific trigger to capture the attention (”make money”, “build an audience”)

→ He filters his target audience by mentioning clearly who this is for

→ He adds a PS inviting people to reply and initiate a conversation
