Yes, these platforms have their own spam filters. And yes, we burned accounts for MONTHS trying to figure this out.

Now we’re sending ~50,000 DMs/month safely, across Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.
Here’s the exact setup (so you don’t waste months like we did).

Stop Over-Automating

We used all the popular tools. ProspectIn, Phantombuster, X-Reacher, etc.
They worked… until they didn’t.

Platforms know when you’re botting. The safest way?
👉 A VA manually sending batches 3x/day (morning, midday, night).
It mimics human behavior.
No bans. No headaches.

Isolate Every Account

Run each account in its own clean environment.

✅ Use privacy browsers like AdsPower or Dolphin
✅ Attach unique proxies (never reuse IPs)
✅ Each account behaves like a real user

Think of it as giving each account a fresh identity.

Follow Strict Send Limits

Start small. Ramp slowly.

• Instagram → 40 messages/day/account

• X/Twitter → 100/day/account

• LinkedIn → 20-30 InMails/day/account

Example:
20 IG accounts → 800 DMs/day → ~24,000/month.
10 X accounts → 1,000/day → ~30,000/month.
10 LinkedIn accounts → 300/day → ~9,000/month.

Total = ~60,000/month without tripping filters.

Feed Them Clean Lists

Most “bad outreach” is just bad targeting.

We pull leads from:
✅ Parser / Leads.cm (IG)
✅ X-Reacher (Twitter bios)
✅ LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Then we refilter with AI (to strip out garbage).

Clean data = higher replies + fewer flags.

Send What Actually Works

On cold outreach, short text-only DMs get seen first.
After they accept → you can send voice/video.

Instagram is picky (can’t send media before acceptance).
X lets you send media straight away (but it’ll be hidden until accepted).
LinkedIn Premium + open profile? Free InMail.

Avoid the Spam Folder

Every platform has a “hidden” inbox for suspected spam.
If you get dumped there:
→ Pause sending for ~10 days.
→ Use the account like a normal human: scroll, like, comment, DM friends.
→ Ramp back up slowly.

Do the Math

• VA costs? $300–500/month each

• Each VA manages 500–1,000 sends/day

• Total system cost? < $1k/month

• Even with a bad 2% reply rate → 1,200 replies/month

• Even if only 20% convert → ~50 meetings/month

For less than $1k.

Why Manual Wins Long-Term

Yes, automation is tempting.
But when bans nuke your accounts and you lose months of traction… it’s not worth it.

Manual + scaled accounts + clean lists = boring, but it WORKS.

This is exactly how we’re booking 50–100 meetings/month across social without risking account nukes.
