Use a Low-Friction DM Script That Just Asks 'Want a Link?'

Use a Low-Friction DM Script That Just Asks 'Want a Link?' is a cold outreach tactic for getting your first users: The script that converted referenced who the person follows, admitted it was a little random, gave a one-line value pitch with an example, and closed with a tiny ask ('Would you like a link?') instead of pasting the URL.

It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for any DM-based outreach. As a cold outreach play, plan for low effort and expect results to show up quickly, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
