Hey, I'm wondering what kind of strategies are you using when sending DMs to leads in Reddit, because I started testing this and from 10 DMs only 2 has been accepted.

I basically find posts of people talking about what my product offers (or something related) and if they post a relevant comment I send them a DM, but so far it hasn't been working so great. any advices?

P.S. here's an example, does it sounds too salesly?

Hey! thanks for the reply to my comment!

the question about going deep into forums before creating content is exactly what we built reddinbox for, instead of manually digging through reddit and quora, you can pull the actual questions and pain points your travelers are asking about in minutes

I'd like to give you a free tial so you can see how it works for your team :)

First, reply to them publicly and use a casual, relevant subject line. Don’t pitch anything in the first DM.
 
Hello,
Reddit users just don’t respond well to getting contacted out of nowhere.
What I do now is just be helpful in the comments, give a real answer, keep it simple, no pitch at all. If someone wants more info, I’ll usually say something like “If you want, just shoot me a DM and I can explain it in more detail.”
That way they make the first move, and it feels natural instead of salesy.

I suggest you post a good informative comment, give value in your comment, then write something like DM if u need specific informations... and buy upvotes so it can be ranked 1st in the comments
 
Cut the pitch, just talk like a Redditor helping another Redditor, works 10x better.
 
Reddit DMs work best when short, casual helpful. Show you understand their issue first then offer a solution or demo without pushing a sale.
 
Your example could be improved by softening the sales tone and emphasizing assistance rather than a pitch. Try something like:

"Hey! I appreciate your comment! I noticed you’re interested in optimizing content, and we developed Reddinbox to simplify that process by pulling questions and pain points from Reddit and Quora. I’d love to show you how it works—let me know if you want to try it out for free!"

How to convert them afterwards? :P
 
ping interesting people in public thread and then in dm
 
Try leading with curiosity or a quick tip related to their post, then casually mention your tool keep it conversational, not promotional.

A more natural approach is to engage in the thread first, build a little rapport, and only then slide in a DM make it feel like advice, not an ad.

Based on my experience I don't think it's a smart approach for you to contact them.
You are going on same process as many other scammers (not good for you), so what I would do it's try to make them come to me, create the content in such way that you make them approach you, make them interested in what you have, would be easier this way to land a deal than just go in the dm's and try to convince them of your product.
