DM replies that turn long messages into paid calls
You don't have to ignore DMs, or answer them for free forever. A short, warm reply that points to your page keeps the relationship and protects your time. Thank them, give a little value, say why a call works better, share the link, and never pressure anyone. Swap anything in [brackets] for your own details.
