I (SD) am looking for (profile + opening DM) advice to stand out when freestyling on Instagram
I'm probably the least Instagram-savvy millennial out there. I have a private profile with 1 picture (scenery; no people in it) from October 2016 and ~2 dozen followers. My company has an active Instagram profile, but my marketing director manages the account, not that I would really want to use the company account for sugaring anyway.
I want to take my personal profile and get it "up and running" because I see a lot of potential sugar relationships on there, but receiving a DM from my account as it's currently set up, will promptly be ignored which is completely understandable.
I'm looking for feedback on how to:
- Stand out - My understanding is attractive women get flooded with DMs from guys. I want to avoid getting lost in the fold. (Unfortunately I don't have a blue check.)
- Not be dismissed as fake - As someone who can/does budget ~$7-10K per month on sugaring, I don't want to be lumped in with the "splenda daddies" and scammers. This is never a problem when we meet on Seeking, but not sure how a woman in Instagram would perceive me.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
