What should a comment-to-DM message say?
Deliver what you promised in the first line, with the link, then ask one easy question. Instagram and Facebook allow only one message unless the person answers, so the first one has to work on its own.
A good comment-to-DM message has three parts:
- The thing they asked for, first. "Here's your 4-week plan: [link]". No "Hey! Thanks so much for commenting…" before it.
- One line of context. What to do with it, or what's inside.
- An easy question. "Are you training at home or at the gym?" A reply opens the 24-hour window, so you can keep helping.
And the public reply under their comment should be short and varied ("Sent! Check your DMs"), never the same sentence fifty times.
