Instagram DM templates for course creators
Six DM templates for course creators and educators reaching people learning the skill they teach. Spintax keeps every message worded differently, and each one starts by asking about their progress, not by linking the course.
6 templates, ready to paste.
Purple is a placeholder the extension fills in. Pink is spintax: one option is picked for each person. Replace anything in [square brackets] with your own details.

How course creators get replies, not blocks.
- 01
Ask what they are learning
A question about where they are stuck tells you whether the course fits.
- 02
Give a free lesson
A short free lesson or resource proves you can teach before you ask anyone to pay.
- 03
Target learners, not experts
People posting their beginner progress are the ones looking for structure.
- 04
Respect the price question
When they ask what it costs, answer plainly with a link.
Send these to hundreds of potential students. Without typing one.
IG Outreach Pro finds potential students by hashtag, by the followers of an account or from your own list, spins a different version of your template for each one, sends from your own account at the pace you set, and follows up until they answer.
- Free plan: 1 campaign, 10 DMs a day, no card
- Same spintax as these templates, so paste and go
- Test Mode, hourly caps and breaks built in

Questions
What is spintax?
Spintax is a way of writing several versions of a message at once. Options go inside curly braces separated by a pipe, like {Hey|Hi|Hello}, and one is picked at random for each person. Placeholders like {firstname} fill in the recipient's details. IG Outreach Pro uses exactly this syntax.
Can I use these templates without the extension?
Yes. Pick one option from each set of braces and replace the placeholders by hand. The extension just does that for you automatically, for every person on your list, and follows up on schedule.
Will sending DMs get my Instagram account banned?
Nobody can promise it won't, and automated DMs conflict with Instagram's terms. IG Outreach Pro gives you Test Mode, Safe Start warm-up, an hourly cap, scheduled breaks and automatic opt-outs so you can send carefully. Start slow and read the send log.
Are these templates free for course creators?
Completely. Copy them, edit them, use them however you like. No signup.
