The DM isn't more personal — it's more disposable

The DM isn't more personal — it's more disposable

Popular advice: "Slide into the DMs — it's more personal than email and gets seen." Myth. For anyone with a manager, the DM is the junk drawer: message requests, fan spam, and crypto bots, swiped past in bulk. Email is where deals get forwarded, CC'd, and contracted. It's not intimacy you need, it's the channel where business actually happens. The DM feels personal to you. To them it's the inbox they ignore. Find the email on the media kit and use it.
