Instagram DM templates for UGC creators

Six DM templates for UGC creators pitching small and mid-size brands on Instagram. Spintax keeps each pitch worded differently, and the openers show you know the product before asking for work.

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 UGC creators get replies, not blocks.

  1. 01

    Show you know the product

    Mention a product of theirs you would film, and how. Brands get lots of generic UGC pitches.

  2. 02

    Target brands that run ads

    Brands already posting creator style content or running ads are the ones paying for UGC.

  3. 03

    Send a relevant sample

    One video in their category beats a full portfolio link.

  4. 04

    Have your rates ready

    When they ask, reply with a clear package. Long back and forth loses deals.

Send these to hundreds of brands that need content. Without typing one.

IG Outreach Pro finds brands that need content 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.

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 UGC creators?

Completely. Copy them, edit them, use them however you like. No signup.
