## Best Practices

### Do's
✅ **Personalize every message** - reference their specific tweets
✅ **Engage genuinely first** - don't just DM cold
✅ **Be transparent** - clearly state you're from Scripter
✅ **Respect boundaries** - one follow-up max, then move on
✅ **Add value** - offer helpful tips, not just pitches
✅ **Time zone awareness** - DM during their active hours

### Don'ts
❌ **Don't spam** - quality over quantity
❌ **Don't automate DMs** - kills authenticity
❌ **Don't argue** - if they say no, thank them politely
❌ **Don't over-promise** - be honest about beta limitations
❌ **Don't ignore Twitter rules** - respect rate limits

## Follow-Up Strategy

### Follow-Up #1 (3 days after initial DM)
```
Hey! Just floating this to the top in case it got buried. 
Beta spots are filling up but I saved one for you.

No pressure - lmk if interested!
```

### Follow-Up #2 (7 days - final)
```
Hey! I'm guessing now's not a good time or not interesting - 
totally get it!

I'll close your file on my end, but the offer stands if you 
ever want to reach out. Free lifetime Pro either way!

All the best,
[Your name]
```
