Want to know a secret? A secret that costs ZERO dollars and is one of the most effective ways to grow your brand exposure? DIRECT MESSAGING.
I’m sure you’re sitting there thinking, “No way can that be true. It’s too simple.”. Is it? You bet. So why don’t people do it? Because it takes up something more valuable than money ——- TIME. Here’s the truth: sending out hundred of message a day isn’t exactly exciting. That’s why people don’t stick with it.
So why is direct messaging so effective? Think about when you get messages. You read them. By sending out messages to people who are your target audience, you are getting in front of people who are most likely to be interested — and buy— your product/service.
There is one thing you need to keep in mind in order to make this successful— consistency. Schedule it into your days just as you would other tasks and meetings. If you stick with it, you will be amazed of the return you get from it.
