Monty writes these for every good follower, every morning.
Templates are a start. Monty reads your new X followers, finds the people in their audience among them, and writes a first message from what each one actually posted. You decide and send.

How to use these templates
- Pick the moment, not the template. Each one fits a situation: they followed you, posted about a problem, launched, are hiring, or haven’t answered yet. Use the one that matches what just happened.
- Fill every bracket with something true. The specific detail is what makes the message worth answering.
- Read it out loud. If it doesn’t sound like you, change the words until it does. Then send it yourself.
One specific detail, one easy question, and nothing to sell yet. The pitch comes after they reply.

Questions
How do I write a cold DM as one of the course creators?
Start from one specific thing the person wrote or did, ask one easy question, and leave your pitch for later. The templates on this page show five common moments to message people in their audience who are a fit for their course, or partners who could promote it, with the parts to fill in marked in brackets.
Can I send these templates as they are?
Fill in every bracket with something true about the person, then change a few words so it sounds like you. If a template could still go to 500 people after you’ve filled it in, it isn’t personal enough yet.
When should I follow up?
After a few days, with a new angle: something useful, or an easier question. Twice is plenty. The last template on this page is a follow-up.
Does Monty send these for me?
No. Monty finds the people worth messaging among your X followers and writes a first message for each, but you always decide and send it yourself.
