Yesterday, I received this auto DM:

Really? You sent me an obnoxiously impersonal message  and apologized for sending it in the message?? That’s like saying “sorry for kicking you” while you kick the person you’re apologizing to.

The really scary thing? This person’s bio claims them as a personal branding expert…which means he probably gets paid a lot of money to tell people to send these awful messages.

Come on people, where is the common sense? Where is the logic? Where is the brains behind this?

Unless your auto dm is giving away free money with no strings attached (ha!), stop sending auto DM’s, now! No one wants them, no one likes them, and most of us want to (and will) unfollow you the minute we get it.

What do you think of auto dm’s – is there any valid reason for them?
