Instagram Outreach Tip for Artists & Freelancers
If you’re struggling to get clients on Instagram, here’s one powerful tip that actually works: Don’t just DM, Warm up the person first: Before sending your pitch: Like 3-5 of their posts Leave a genuine comment (NOT “nice post”) Follow them if they look like your ideal client Wait 5-10 minutes, then send your DM This warms them up, shows you're real, and boosts your chance of getting a reply. Why this works? Because people trust you more when they see your name in their notifications before the DM arrives. Use niche hashtags like: #twitchstreamer #vtuber #gamer #commissionopen Go through these tags daily and do the same warm-up + DM process. Bonus Tip: Here’s another outreach strategy that works insanely well, especially in gaming, VTuber, and streamer niches: Use niche hashtags to find potential buyers, not just creators: Go to hashtags in your niche Examples:#vtuber #twitchstreamer #gamerlife #commissionopen Open any post using that hashtag. Check the people who liked that post, these are usually fans, gamers, or people active in the same niche. Follow the potential clients from that list. When they follow you back: After warming them up, then pitch your service naturally. This method works because they see you as a real human, not a bot or a spammer. When they notice you interacting with them first, trust builds instantly and they’re much more likely to buy from you. Try this strategy daily and you’ll see a massive boost in your responses and conversions. @Rashid Mukhtar @Haroon Khalil
