- I sent 170+ Instagram Cold Dm's In 4 Days,
and here's everything that's happened and what I've learnt so far.
What's funny is I actually got some sweet results pretty quick! (I'll reveal it in the video of course)
If you're also doing cold DM's to get clients, this might help :)
Stay awesome!

If your new here, welcome! I'm glad to have you here on the journey!

Hmm, I admire your guts!
You've made outreach seem so simple and casual lol. I'd be a nervous wreck.
A lot of what you say resonates with what I hear from others who have clients. So it's that simple? I guess the image in my head is like a high-level meeting or something. But you understood the assignment
It's pretty nerv wracking when you get the reply tbh. The first message is easy, its the actual convo thats the thing
I can listen to you talk about anything all day.
This post is so enlightening! Cold emailing is an art, but with the right tools, anyone can master it. I have been using Mystrika for a while now, and the A/B testing features let me experiment with different approaches. The fact that they offer a pay-once, use-forever deal is just too good to pass up. Not to mention the warmup pool, which has given my emails a serious boost. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend trying Mystrika.
Ooo interesting tool! Ill look into it
I think instagram has been quite strict with its massaging policies. I think if you send more that 30 DMs in like a day on 1 account they will kinda shadow banned you so that all your DMs end up in the request tab (which most of the time not many business owners check or care of) a good alternative way might be whatsapp or telegram. Good content btw👍
Do they shadow ban you? Don't you just send a certain amount per hour?
Waittt a min, dont all dms go to requested though..?
Not really before 30 - 25 DMs it goes straight to their inbox so as soon as they click on the chat icon your dm will be there in front of them which will make them more likely to at least OPEN IT or see it. And also warming your account will help you send more DMs without ending up in the request tab.
But to be fair tho if a propect is genuinely interested in your offer or was looking for someone to help them anyways then they will probably just go through the request tab 😂
Ahhhh i didn't know that!
Possibly! I dont really know if mine are going in the requested? How do you warm the account?
3:20 completely agree 💯.
Personalization sometimes doesn't work. Like if you are straight to point they will reply quickly and it does work most of time in case of biz owner.
EXACTLY.
It really depends on your audience to be honest, i think it can be a waste of time especially if you have an audience who doesnt wanna waste time
great value as always!
Glad your enjoying bro :)
Sometimes it's just that Simple. Respect!!!
everything is
Great value, thanks
Of course! 🤟
Hi Alicia, really good content and i appreciate the honesty.
But I think you could try sending 170+ cold DM with personalization and see if you would get a better result.
For me cold emails with personalization has worked best.
Awh than alot!
I'll see :)
This is actually helpful!
Your welcome!
Thanks for sharing the value G, BTW can you make another video on reviewing our copies?
Your welcomee! I can indeed B)
Nice with a no BS RUclipsr! Stick to it!
Great Insight 👌 in addition to your tactic on sending 100s of dms I like to do the same but for multiple platforms after this I optimize based on what platform had the most response and then I capitalize 🔥
Ooo interesting tactic !
I like to focus on one for cold dming ppl!
200th liker less goooo!
lets gooo 🤟
One thing I’ve understood is, first just get out of their requests section
yess that too
Lots of value ❤
Thanks!
Lol, this is like writing to women on dating apps, I would win this game
So we’re an air purifier startup ( unlike the typical ones we’re 100 % sustainable )and we’re having trouble having outreach to office spaces , our target audience. Would love some help from you
PS : I really love your content and it’s super inspiring :D
maybe i could help you out with outreach. when did you start?
quick question, after they set a deal with u, what’s the next step? u get their customer emails and then u just send out email 3-4 times per month? could u go through that process pls? thanks
Alicia i was wondering if u could make a separate video describing how to find the clients or target market, i mean, is it better to outreach every prospect or ad we see on IG or is it that we have to be specific or niche out about who we are reaching to ..kinda confused..leme know what you think...
Hey Alicia, this is Zach an entrepreneur and a guy on self improvement I have just started yt, and I wish we could work along on this journey,
Ayy happy to see you here!
@@_ALICIA so do wanna make something together?
yo try following up with them becuase most of the time these guys are busy or just forget
yess
Great share.
Your welcommee!
Bro the ones that don't even check ,make me wanna cry lol. But yeah getting to the point is really what's important✨
YES like you spent so much time, and they didnt even look 😭
Yes! Keeping it short is the best 💪 Depending on your niche (especially home improvement)
When is the community launching? I want to join
Soon!!!
legend
😎🤟
I think that time makes gru and genius
if you try to copy what iman's is doing rn it doesn't work although if you are already at that level it works but for now you got a to what's right for now and do 1 step after step
Yehh, all the gurus tell you to do the same thing therefore majority will do that, allowing the gurus to do different soo, thats why i did different to stand out
So we’re trying to outreach to various companies for sponsorship for our college MUN , would love to get some strategies from Alicia or anyone here for that matter
So you didn’t make free work for any of the leads prior to messaging them? Because I can’t imagine sending 40 emails to 40 different people everyday.
I did send them 30-40 per day
free work? Nope
Use automation dm or ohh yeah better to be a personalize dm and what did you think what about sending a loom video btw you eye is Soo pretty @@_ALICIA
I havent thought of that! Worth a try because most wont do it
You're aunt Dory from finding nemo.
LMAO what?
Great content
Thankyouu!
Alicia Instagram restricted me from following other account and liking their content what should I do. And this isn't the first time I get that issue often while doing outreach to business owners😢
hmmm im not sure about this issue because Ive never had it so go to yt and search :))
Great quality content 👏🏽
Thanks! What did you enjoy about it :)?
@_ALICIA Understanding prospective clients a bit and being consistent
What do you think about other outreaches like high-value outreach, bait n rizz, or offering samples?
LOL I think it really depends on your audience, Home improvements are very no bs and no waste time so i'd just be short and snappy tbh.
7 opens out of 170 dms is a bad open rate that's less than 0.05%
Thats because people don't check their things
Amazing value btw! Assuming you run an agency, what's your service??
I provide marketing :)
Do you need to set up a good instagram profile before outreaching to potential clients or could I send them my a personalized version of my work to build trust because I only have around 50 followers and can’t seem to get more what do you think? Basically looking for an alternative to personal branding can I just use networking and the skills i have?
I would 100% make content on your profile around what you do! Because prospects what to see your a real person they can trust!
And i would also do both of those so 🤟
@noillAil ive found it easier to grow on threads than it is on Instagram, honestly, 🫡just throwing options out there.
Ooo threads?
Prospects dont really care about ur following they just want to see if ur a real person who knows what they doing
@@user-cm1ro1iu1k doesn't hurt to at least seem authentic in some way .
Hi Alicia, are you taking breaks between sending a bunch of DMs? Cause my account got disabled after sending 60 DMs each day. Instagram labelled it as automated behaviour. Btw your video was helpful
Yes I wait time, i only do like 15-20 per hour
@@_ALICIA oh thanks for the response. Might have to be careful with the DMs
I am currently 14 what should i do to be financially free till 16 😢
yikes I cant answer your question, because I'm not financially free myself, All i can say is pick a modal, stick at it, get great at it, and do all you can to make it work
good videos! Keep going
What software you use for video editing
cap cut my dudee :)
What Exact Question you asked for?
I said in the video ;)
Alicia can linkden help you kickstart your freelance career? Everything just feels difficult
Yeh!
Hey Alicia, I have a question. I didn't have a following on Instagram. How much followers I need in order to taken serious because people don't give a f about an account with 10 followers. Please tell me the number of followers and how long it will take. Please reply 🙏🏻
Aslong as you post some reels and posts on your channel to make you look like a real person, then people will take you seriously. Plus, if your selling video editting services or sumn to do with growing on social media, your profile should speak for itself!
I would say above 100 bcs i booked a call with that on my other profile
Plus, it takes as long as it takes :)
@@_ALICIA Thanks Alica. You helped me a lot. In the meantime, I should've go on some freelance platform.
try automated cold emails... thank me later
I already do that too ;)
QUESTION
Speaking English really matters or not,for anything else
For example freelance copywriting.🧐👏
It would be ideal for you to speak fluent english. 🤟
Thanks.
what softwear you use for video editing
Capcut :)
What type of ig profile i make means what type of posts i do to attract copywriting client please make video onit
Talk about what you know to do with copywriting techniques, the benefits of copywriting, show examples of what you've done and rate it yourself and tell the viewers why it's good
@@_ALICIA some copywriters says that post about your lifestyle eg holidays , routine etc
Some say about testimonials
But as a complete beginner that have 0 experience but have quality knowledge what he should do to attract clients on Instagram profile
@@_ALICIA thanks a lot😀
Hi Alicia
Hope you are doing well
I have a little question, do you pay tax for your copywriting service to the government
I am a little confused, cuz I pay 18% tax per sale.
I dont do copywriting, but i dont really know how mych tax i pay atm

What niche did you get your ''client list'' in?
Valuable and Informative video, But...
Let me guess, you're not a native English speaker. Are you?
I am born in the uk, both parents UK :)! Only speak english
What was your script ?
I said in the video
@@_ALICIA ah ok thanks you're the goat
What's cold outreach?
Good question! It's basically where you message random strangers on the internet (you choose the ones to outreach too) and you try to get them to buy your services.
In a nutshell, it's a method of getting customers
@@_ALICIA thanks.
Your welcome!
