Dear Auto DM User, STOP!

Dear Auto DM User,

Stop sending me an automatic DM when I follow you.  It’s ok, I don’t want a thank you from you because I chose to follow you.  I definitely don’t want a link to somewhere that I don’t know what it is.  I decided to follow you because I think you may have some good useful content that I will want to read.  Then as soon as I hit follow, I get spam from you.  It’s not how I usually like to start my relationships.

If you are going to send me a DM, how about asking me what my website is and what my special link is.  That at least looks like you care about this new relationship that we just started here.  I will visit your site when you push out some good content, don’t force it down my throat.

When you send me that auto DM, I am just as likely to unfollow you as I was to follow you to begin with. Now, you just lost a visitor and potential client.  I don’t think that’s what you were intending when you set up the auto DM.  It may be time to rethink your auto DM decision.

Sincerely,

Chris Stocker
