The DM I'd send if I had zero clients 📩

Cold outreach doesn't have to feel awkward. Here's the simple formula:

Open with one specific compliment. Mention something real from their page, not "love your content."

Offer one useful idea. Share one fix you'd make, with no pitch.

Ask a tiny question. "Want me to send 2 examples?" is easy to say yes to.

Example: "Hey [name], love your latest post on [topic]! One idea: your first line could be stronger. Want me to send 2 examples?"

Replies depend on the business and your message, so send 20 and track what works.

Text communication is complicated sometimes because people read what they want and sometimes it can be confusing.
