When you’re running multiple Instagram (cash) accounts, it’s super easy to accidentally message the same person more than once. While following up is okay later on, messaging the same person from multiple accounts can feel spammy and may hurt your brand. Here's how to avoid that while staying organized and getting the most out of using the Connective eCommerce Method!
💡 Step-by-Step Guide
1. Pay Attention to Mutual Followers
When you go to someone’s Instagram profile, you’ll see a small line that says:
"Followed by [username], [username] + more"
👀 THIS is your best friend.
That’s where you’ll spot if one of your other Instagram accounts is already following this person.
Example: If you see your main or burner account listed there, it likely means you’ve already followed and maybe even messaged them.
2. Double Check Before Sending
Before you send a message:
Scroll down their followers or click their profile.
Check if your other accounts are already following them or if you've sent a message before.
If you’re unsure, skip them and move on to the next person. It’s better to miss one than duplicate your message.
3. Use Instagram Collections to Organize
If you’re on mobile, you can save a post from someone you've messaged and add it to a Collection named “Messaged.” This keeps you from going in circles and speeds up your workflow.
Tip: Avoid Messaging Too Fast
If you're jumping between accounts too quickly and DMing the same people, Instagram might flag your behavior. Keep your pace natural and rotate through a few fresh profiles to reduce the chance of overlap.
⚠️ Reminder
You can follow/unfollow later if needed. But your goal is to get sales first and then you can adjust how many followers you have later!
