If you’re sitting there wondering how to make money online without working a 9-5 and you don’t really have too many skills to start from let me give you the exact process I used to land my first $2,500/mo client when I was first building my automated agency by just sending DMs on Instagram.
Step 1: Research the Right Businesses
The most important part of this method is finding businesses that actually need your service. Not every business on Instagram is your target.
How to Find Them:
• You can search hashtags, use related suggestions, or locations relevant to your niche (e.g., #NYCfitness, #MiamiGym).
• Look for businesses that are active but not crushing it—they post, but engagement is low, or they aren’t running ads.
• Focus on service-based businesses like gyms, solar companies, real estate agents, plumbers, or chiropractors. These businesses are hungry for leads and often don’t understand how to generate their own.
Step 2: Build a List
Don’t just message random accounts. Instead, build a targeted list of 100+ businesses to DM.
Here’s how to organize your list:
• Business name
• Instagram handle
This way, you’re being strategic and sending messages to businesses that actually need what you offer.
Step 3: Start the DM Process
Now that you have your list, it’s time to start DMing. Batch your outreach to 100 DMs per day. Keep track of who responds and move them through your funnel.
You’ll want to make sure you’re consistently reaching out to new prospects everyday as well as following up with interested prospects.
Step 4: Move the Conversation to a Call
Once you get a positive response, don’t waste time messaging back and forth—move the conversation to a phone call or Zoom meeting ASAP.
How to Transition to the Call:
• Respond to their inquiry and offer a time to chat about how you can help their business.
• Use Calendly or Gohighlevel to make scheduling seamless.
The call is where the real magic happens—you’ll demonstrate your value and get them to commit.
Step 5: Qualify & Close on the Call
On the call, ask about their current struggles and goals, then explain how your service will help them.
Key Points to Hit on the Call:
• Identify their current problem:
Identify what they’ve tried in the past and the results
Identify their goals
• Pitch how you’ll solve it:
• The cost: Be upfront about your price, e.g., $2,500/month for lead generation services.
Don’t overcomplicate the pitch—focus on how your service solves their problem.
Step 6: Get Paid Upfront
Once they agree to work with you, send them an invoice immediately for at least 50% upfront (or full payment if possible). I recommend Stripe or Paypal to collect payment
• Clearly outline the deliverables.
• Include the price, payment schedule, and timeline for results.
Getting paid upfront ensures you don’t waste time and shows the client is serious.
And if you send 100 DMs everyday that's 3000 DMs in a month. Lets just say that only 100 people respond and from those 100 responses you book 10 calls. And from those 10 calls you close 2 clients at $2500 per month, That's $5,000 for the month just by sending DMs...
Of Course there's a lot more that goes into building an automated agency so If you're interested in a step-by-step guide on how to get started then feel free to read this post: BLUEPRINT TO $10K/MO
Take care
