It is 2024. People expect the ability to “comment for link”, and Instagram majorly rewards you for it, too! When comment & DM replies are automated for engagement and adding value to your audience, Instagram pushes your content to more of your audience (and more people outside your audience who might want in on the value, too).
The first time I really saw this, I had created a free buying guide to fucking machines and offered to email it to anyone who responded to my Instagram story. My average story views at the time were in the ~100-200 range (MAYBE 300 on a good day), and within 24 hours that story was shown to almost 1,000 people. It honestly blew my mind. Also about 8% of those story views converted to the opt-in and my email list grew by about 75 people in one. day. My previous record was like…7 in a day. WTF 🤯
So why did this happen? The automation made it EASY for my neurodivergent audience (because yes, that’s part of my niche) to get what they wanted with a very simple action. All they had to do was respond with a word, and the bot would prompt them to type in their email right inside the DMs. They didn’t have to click away from instagram, fill out a form, or do anything crazy. It was easy!
ManyChat helps my ADHD audience get what they want with less friction, and it also helps ME as an ADHD business owner follow-through on my promises to share resources, content, offers, etc. Because remember – once I setup that automation, I didn’t have to do anything besides watch the sign-ups roll in and the emails get distributed on my behalf. It was in a word, amazing.
So yeah, you’re gonna want to get in on this if you haven’t already! Start here.
