Turn X Posts into Sales via DMs

In partnership with

In today’s article, we’ll walk you through a proven, authentic strategy to convert X engagement into real revenue straight from your DMs. Let’s dive in!  

Step 1: Craft Posts That Spark Curiosity

Your X posts are the “bait” so make them irresistible. Share authentic stories, quick tips, or bold opinions related to your niche. The goal? Get people replying or sliding into your DMs.  

- Pro Tip: Ask open-ended questions to invite engagement. For example, if you sell fitness coaching, post: “What’s the one workout you dread but know you need?”  

- Why It Works: Curious or relatable posts naturally prompt responses, opening the door to DM conversations.  

Step 2: Engage Authentically in Replies

When someone comments or DMs you, don’t pitch right away. Build trust first. Respond thoughtfully to their comment or question, showing genuine interest.  

- Example: If they reply, “I hate burpees!” respond with, “Haha, burpees are brutal! What’s your go-to workout instead?”  

- Why It Works: This keeps the conversation flowing and positions you as approachable, not salesy.  

Step 3: Transition to DMs Smoothly

Once you’ve got a reply or two, move the conversation to DMs for a personal touch. Keep it natural—no copy-paste scripts.  

- How to Do It: “Hey [Name], loved your comment about workouts! Mind if I DM you a quick question?” Then, in DMs, ask something like, “What’s your biggest fitness goal right now?” 

- Why It Works: DMs feel private and exclusive, making people more open to sharing their needs.

Step 4: Uncover Needs, Then Offer Value

In the DMs, focus on their challenges or goals. Ask questions to understand their pain points. Only then, subtly introduce your product or service as a solution.  

- Example: If they say, “I want to lose 10 pounds,” respond, “That’s awesome! A lot of my clients struggled with that until they tried my 30-day plan. Want me to share how it works?”  

- Why It Works: You’re solving their problem, not pushing a sale.  

Step 5: Close with Confidence

When they show interest, guide them to the next step whether it’s a call, a purchase link, or a free resource that leads to a sale. Keep it low-pressure but clear.  

- Example: “Sounds like my plan could help! Want to hop on a quick call to see if it’s a fit, or I can send you the details to check out?”  

- Why It Works: You’re giving them control while nudging them toward a decision.
