Instagram direct messages are a new way to network and to expand your reach in the digital landscape. They can help you create a new level of engagement with your Instagram account, thus creating a bigger online community! In this blog post, I am sharing some of the benefits one can get from using direct messages with your company.

#1 You can create new connections using written and verbal communication. There is availability to record voice recordings on Instagram direct messages. This is a great way to introduce yourself and your brand, share a relevant post, or simply say hi! 

#2 You can invite your followers and like-minded users to join your email list. Sending them a link to an opt-in such as a free guide or a free masterclass. This is an easy way to find new followers and subscribers at. once.

#3 You can set up sales or market research phone calls for your business such as a 10-minute get to know you phone to create new social media leads for your business.

#4  You can send your other social media posts to your followers, such as a YouTube video to increase your views and watch time. This can help build your overall online community!

#5 You can simply engage and build relationships and use them to talk with your online community. One way is to like and comment on other people’s posts, reels, stories, and lives through dm’s. Another way is to simply talk with them about fashion trends.
