There’s nothing more fun than going into my Twitter(X) DMs after ignoring it for a while.
The sales pitches pile up, and when I need a mood-booster, I go check them out.
I know they’re supposed to be serious about pitching me on their products, but they’re so bad they’re good. I always get some amusement out of them.
Let me show you a few I’ve gotten recently…
Note: Here are more funny DMs I’ve gotten.
Here’s a person who doesn’t take the hint. You gotta give him credit for his persistence.
Here’s one that just kind of creeps me out. I’m always suspicious of a dude who sends a DM like this. Maybe I’m just paranoid!
I honestly don’t know what this one means. What are Ali Abdaal-style clips? A full-time senior editor is probably a steal at $3k a month, but I don’t need one. Especially since I don’t even understand what any of this means! lol
There wasn’t another DM after this. Just “Heyyy.” At least it only wasted about one second of my time.
This person took a moment to copy and paste a bit of my profile into their DM so it looks like they did a little research. I’ll give them a little credit for that.
The pitch is decent. I like the fact that they say I would only pay if I profit. But I don’t have any clients, and I’m not interested in getting any at this point.
Hi “G”? What the hell? lol
I don’t want to be too hard on the DM’ers because I know they’re trying and they probably learned these tactics from other people.
I’m not a master at DMs. In fact, I have never sent a pitch to anyone (and probably never will). But I think these marketers would do a little better if they stopped sending out mass DMs and sent more personalized messages.
However, if they want to keep sending them my way, I’m OK with it. I always appreciate the content!
What’s the worst DM you’ve ever gotten? Let me know in the comments!
