DM New Followers the Moment They Follow You
DM New Followers the Moment They Follow You is a cold outreach tactic for getting your first users: Treat a new follow as a warm-lead signal: message people right when they follow you so there's already a faint prior interaction before you ever mention the product.
It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for Founders active and building in public on Twitter/X. As a cold outreach play, plan for medium effort and expect results to arrive at a steady pace, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
