Warm the DM 3 days before you send it

Warm the DM 3 days before you send it
Real talk: cold DMs to creators die. So don't go cold.
Three days before pitching: like 2 posts, reply once with a real thought, watch a story.
By DM day your name's already familiar. The pitch lands as "oh, that person" not "who's this."
— day 1: thoughtful reply
— day 2: story react
— day 3: the ask
Reply rate jumps when you're not a stranger.
