Happy sending Auto-DMs? Think again!
Posted under: I want to make a small exercise with you all. Let me take you on a journey. Its a beautiful spring day, you are walking on crowded street, the sun shines and you are feeling in heaven. Everyone around you looks just great and you identify with them in some way – all enjoying the terrific day. You randomly stop in front of a shop and admire a watch that is on display. Someone stops right next to you, admiring the same watch. You and that stranger share some thoughts about the watch, and then about the weather, about the city, about the people around you both. You’ve made a new friend – and decide to go and have a coffee. You exchange contacts.[Insert terror movie from the 50s music here]
The very moment following that exchange of contacts, that stranger suddenly, without warning, pulls open a big bag that comes out from nowhere, and starts making a pitch to sell you a fake watch not even acknowledging you by your name. To make matters worse, he has the audacity to call you “my friend.”
What would you do? I know what I would do – I would be appalled. Then, I would be angry. I would stand up, leave the coffee place, delete the contact from that person from my phone and tell all my friends about what had happened.
If you truly don’t see anything wrong with this scenario and would stay and buy a watch from this guy, now is the time to quit reading this post. Really!
Still with me? Great!
Now, I ask myself: Why should it be different on Twitter?!
When you start following someone, it’s usually because you find them interesting or enjoyable. You want to know more about that person and converse with them from time to time. Nothing else. And a “follow” is a compliment, in my opinion, that should be taken with respect.
To receive one Auto-DM as soon as you start following someone on Twitter is like going on a first date and, at the end of the night, having that person ask you for a key to your house. It’s too much, too soon. And, in my opinion, in very bad taste.
I’m not even going to discuss if there are good Auto-DMs or bad Auto-DMs. That, to me, is not a discussion. To try and sell me, at the very beginning of our relationship, to push some program on me, give me a “bonus” gift, tell me how to make millions overnight, lead me to your blog, website or Mafia Tribe is nothing more than a bunch of crap to me. The “Look forward to knowing more about you dear follower” DM is, in my opinion, just as bad – it creates in me the same of kind of nausea that I get from a hangover after 3 consecutive days of partying in Barcelona.
The only good AUTO-DM is no AUTO-DM at all!
And, now that you read this, some of you now know why I stopped following you, and why my friends know about it.

You, my friend, are becoming one hell of writer.
Every single thing that’s bad about Twitter DMs, it’s here.
From now on I’ll redirect to here, those poor bastards who send me DMs trying to sell me something. #nomercy
All the best.

I couldn’t agree with you, more. To whom does it really seem like a good idea to send out these ridiculous wastes of electrons??
In the same spirit as this post, I have taken to sending out @replies or DM’s to new people I’ve chosen to follow (or follow-back), introducing my self as a REAL person, and letting them know how I’ve found them (assuming they’d like that bit of information). I am pleased to report that these attempts to reach out have led to some wonderful initial conversations.
Thank you for the article!

ROFL! Thank you for venting my own frustration! I have blocked auto-DMs which slowed the tide but did not stop them all. I am so sick of these that I delete the DM and unfollow. I hate Fun 140 and wonder who is having all the fun? Not the people receiving lame “gifts” and invitations to join tribes from strangers.
I have discovered that it is not so much the auto-DM that I want to avoid, but the people who think it’s a good idea to use them. I prefer to follow only those people who use Twitter in a completely personal way, without using any bots of any kind to stand in for them.
One way to do this is to ask a question before you choose to follow someone. Something like:
“I’d like to follow you. But first, I need to know whether you use auto-DM to greet new followers, or not.”
People who do not use auto DM usually reply, and tell you why they hate auto DM’s. A few of the people who do use them will ask why you want to know. Most will just ignore you, making it easy for each of you to forget about the other. I have been pleased with the results so far.
You can be amused or offended, happy or unhappy. What sort of idiot chooses to be unhappy?
The kind of idiot that thinks that Unicorns bark?

Great post with a great analogy. I see auto-DMs just like you do and hate them. Here is my recent post on the topic:

the above solution doesn’t solve all problems and I understand your concern but does offer a way to stop receiving them.
All that said, I rotate thru a series of 7 auto DM’s – interestingly, you received one of the few that even MENTIONS my website – others are along the lines of ‘thank you for the follow’ or ‘if you need help with your e-news let me know’. If you follow me at all, you will see that I offer a TON of free help and advice and really try to limit any promotional tweets to my free classes or services. I do apologize that you were turned off by the DM and will consider deleting it from the rotation as I do not want others to feel that I am ‘selling them’ on our first encounter as you refer to it in the blog post.
Thank you for taking the time to respond rather than to just unfollow – I do appreciate that!
Have a great day even if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving!
LMD
And for the record, I do NOT auto-follow back, I vet every follow and decide based on the persons bio, tweets etc. Just wanted to mention that since the SocialOomph note above mentions that and I am not a fan of it!
A good way to stop receiving auto-DMs is people stop using them and understand that what they achieve by it is to cause user’s anger. I don’t know you and you don’t know me: what gives you the right to barge into my DMs box? Can’t you thank me for the follow on the public timeline? If not, why not? If you see from my 28,000+ tweets you will see I offer a TON of help, support and advice to the best of my ability to everyone no matter if I follow them or not without the need to sell them ANYTHING. I select all of my followers and also select who follows me and this without having a private account. Yes I take my tweeting very seriously. And guess what? I never needed to send a single Auto-DM. None.
The solution you present is one more way to get user’s accounts phished. That is why I am not approving that comment (A first time here, congratulations). You know what is wrong, in my opinion, with your auto-DMs? (Free advice, any consultant would charge one arm and one leg for this): You don’t take the time to see and understand who the person behind the twitter account is: If you had taken the time to see who I was, to follow my tweets, to come to my blog, read what I write about you would not send me a auto-DM. Well probably would unfollow me because I am not your target, obviously.
When you did, you just showed me that, to you I am just a number that you don’t care about. And that is what is wrong with your Auto-DMs.

re dont send auto dm’s I agree except for those who DO treat being followed as a compliment, like I do, who write back either automatically or manually at least thanking someone for following them. For me, thanking someone is returning the compliment and the courtesy but other than that I dont want auto dm’s either.

Beyond the excellent example you used above. Many power users receive DMs as text messages to allow a more direct line of communication with their community. So when I recieve an auto DM at 2am I’m not only annoyed at the practice but that I had to check my phone to see if it was something important.
Terrible practice, great post
