How do you deal with too many DMs? I get DMs from people who want to be featured in the podcast or get marketing/communications help. I don't want to be an asshole and ignore them. Bu I also can't respond to all messages because it eats the time I could spend on something else (e.g. developing the podcast) 🤔
I’d create a form or some sort of intake database that could help you organize and go through them more efficiently.
Some ideas: get a virtual assistant One idea I’ve been thinking about is an AI virtual assistant that is trained across your social posts, so it behaves like u People can speak to that virtual assistant and it can give you an executive summary for u to act on
Publish a guideline on how you select guests so people can self select into pinging you or not. It also makes answering inquiries easier
Didn't @balajis start a company to solve exactly this problem? The Bitcoin I earned from it ended up being worth over $1k. Too bad Coinbase shut it down.
my trick is to be terminally uninteresting (this reduces dm volume) have you tried that? 🙂
Some people might think this is rude but this is why I add to the bottom of contact form on my site. Wonder what the auto response can be for DMs. Contact page: https://joinsavvyavi.com/contact/
This is preciously why we should never text just Hey/Hi. Please send everything in on text. Don't wait for other person to respond, it's time consuming on both side. And Mac, I understand it could be tiresome but all those DM look up to you, it could mean a lot if just acknowledge them.
Me no habla english works well And if they speak spanish, me no hable espanaol, and if they keep pushing, just start making dial up noises
Just hang a sign that says NO SOLICITING
