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]
