Start with a list of your Twitter followers
Let's up the ante with this Twitter strategy. Have you heard of that expression, "It takes 100 rejections to get one yes"?
X/ Twitter may be going through some changes with its new leadership in 2023, but it remains an untapped goldmine for finding the right prospects in your industry.
First, if you're wondering how to DM Twitter users at scale, you need a very targeted list of prospects to create your custom audience to message.
Keep in mind: You can only send messages to your followers.
Extracting a list of someone's followers with the Twitter Follower Collector Phantom is a great way to make a targeted list of people interested in a particular topic.
Once you have completed this step, let's tackle mass messaging.
How to send automated Twitter direct messages at scale
It will take under 3 minutes to set up this Twitter Message Sender Phantom, which operates as a Twitter mass direct message sender.
Using a step-by-step tutorial, Let's begin with a use case of this mass DM Twitter tool in action.
1. Get a PhantomBuster account
Sign up for a free PhantomBuster account in seconds if you have not joined the party. This will give you access to our mass DM Twitter tool, the Twitter Message Sender Phantom.
2. Connect to Twitter
Next, sign in to your Twitter account on your desktop. This is important as the Phantom must connect to your account via your session cookie.
Open up the Twitter Message Sender Phantom. Click 'Connect to Twitter'. Your session cookie will display automatically when you are signed into Twitter on your desktop.
3. Specify which profiles to message
Next, it is time to input the list of Twitter profiles into the 'Users to message' section of this Phantom's setup. If you want to message multiple Twitter accounts, you can scrape a public Google Sheets file or a CVS file.
Depending on your goals, you can input a list of profiles or just one.
4. Write your message and choose the settings
Now comes the creative part of your Twitter marketing strategy.
In the 'Behavior' section of the Phantom's setup add the number of profiles you wish to process per launch. We recommend processing 10 accounts per single launch.
Then you'll need to compile a short Twitter Direct Message. The next part of this guide has some great tips and tricks to keep in mind.
You can also tick the 'Advanced Settings' box if you don't want to send preview bubbles to recipients and name your results file.
Top tips to keep in mind
1: Don't include links in your messages.
2: Change the message from time to time.
3: Only send messages to your followers.
6. Launch the Phantom
Finally, select if you want your Twitter auto DM Phantom to run manually or automatically. Click 'Save' and then hit 'Launch' to start DMing.
Good to know
We recommend rate limits across our social media so that you can scrape safely and stay under the radar. We recommend targeting 10 accounts per launch and automating 5-8 launches per day when automating Twitter Direct Messages.

This could help you to stand out from the crowd and to drive engagement with your brand.
Be clear about your needs
Make sure you clearly explain what you want your audience to do, and then you'll be able to reap the rewards.
