In the world of outreach, the classic question often arises: quality or volume? On X (formerly Twitter), you can have both if you keep each message personal. This article covers how to write DMs that cut through the noise, and how to reach more people without losing the personal touch.

Why Twitter DMs?

DMs on X offer a direct way to reach founders, marketers and other decision-makers. Here is why they are worth considering:

  • Visibility: A DM sits in the recipient's messages, not in a crowded email inbox, which can make it easier to notice.
  • Real-Time Conversations: Unlike email, X allows spontaneous back-and-forth, making it easier to build rapport.
  • Free and Accessible: You are not paying for email verification or lead lists. Note that if the recipient does not follow you, your DM arrives as a message request, and X caps those per 24 hours by plan (7 for free accounts, 35 for Premium, 75 for Premium Plus and 500 for Premium Business, according to X's Help Center). Check the current numbers before you plan a batch.

Crafting Killer Twitter DM Scripts

Creating a compelling DM requires personalization and creativity. Here is how to make your message stand out:

  1. Research: Scour the recipient's feed for recent posts or trends, and use this context to tailor your DM.
  2. Personalization: Use the details you gathered to write a message that feels genuine and relevant.
  3. Clear Call to Action: Whether you aim to book a call or share a resource, make your intent crystal clear.

Pro Tip: Optimizing your own X profile lends credibility to your outreach. People will check who you are before they reply.

Doing This at Scale with Your AI

superagnt is a marketing plugin for Claude and ChatGPT that helps businesses find customers through outbound, SEO and ads. With superagnt's X data tools, your Claude or ChatGPT can search X for accounts by keyword, read their profiles (bio, follower count, location) and recent posts, and filter them against who you want to reach. It can draft a personal DM for each account based on what it read, and send it from your own connected X account once you approve it.

Conclusion

A good DM comes down to research, a specific reference to the person, and one clear ask. Whether you write each message yourself or have an AI draft them for your approval, keep the personal angle and your outreach will stand apart from the generic messages in most inboxes.
