If your Cold DMs get no replies... Read this
1. Do not send 1000 generic cold DMs... But 1 ultra-personalized DM to your dream targets.
What you will lose in volume... You will gain in specificity and power.
Remember: you only need 1 positive answer to start earning thousands a month.

2. Choose the right approach for the right client.
Don& #39;t sell your ghostwriting services to a ghostwriter. He doesn& #39;t need them.
Identify what your target REALLY needs.
What could make them the most sales/money.

3. Open with a sincere compliment
Tell your prospect how you liked his content. His last thread.
Be GENUINE.

4. Be ultra-specific in your opening lines.
Don& #39;t just say: "I love your content!".
This is a major red flag for prospects.
Say something you cannot say to someone else:
"I loved your last thread on Risk taking! Especially point number 3 because..."

5. Polish your transitions
Go from the compliment to revealing your intentions with style.
"You talked about the importance of taking risks in your last thread. So I& #39;m going to take a big risk right now..."

"I& #39;ve helped X creators on Twitter (most of them you know) get from 1 to 10,000 followers in two months."
"Each time we succeeded. In fact, they all wrote their thoughts about my work here {{link to your testimonials}}."
And if you have NO experience... And NO prior results...

And if you have NO experience... And NO prior results...
Don& #39;t pretend you do.
We& #39;re not blind. You have 5 followers.
Turn your weakness into a strenght.

7. SHOW don& #39;t TELL
Do not TELL me you& #39;re the best... A hard-worker... Or that you& #39;ll improve my sales...
SHOW me you are. With solid proof.

8. Make me an offer I would be stupid to refuse
Let& #39;s say I needed help with writing tweets.
"I& #39;ve written 10 Tweets exclusively for you. They follow your tone of voice and your unique style. And should get you at least X likes. Here they are."

9. Don& #39;t be pushy or needy
Do not force the deal. Be chill about it.
"If you like the 10 free tweets and they improve your likes, RTs and follows as I believe they will... Tell me and we& #39;ll talk further :)"
Your first cold DM is an approach. You close the sale LATER.

10. Remember: people don& #39;t owe you anything.
Be nice and friendly.
Don& #39;t be THAT guy who blocks after they refuse your services.
"I understand, no problem. Here& #39;s another tweet I wrote for you: use it for free, as a gift for your time."
End there without saying anything else.

11. People do NOT read sales pitches.
They read real conversations.
So be unique. Turn your obvious sales DM into a genuine exchange.
The less pressure you put on your prospect... The more they will WANT to work with you.
