How It Works

1

Promote Your Freebie

Tell followers to comment a keyword (like "GUIDE") to receive your free resource or link.

Ask for Email First

Before sending the link, CreatorFlow asks for their email address with a friendly message.

3

Deliver & Collect

Once they reply with their email, the link is sent instantly. Their email is saved to your list.

Why This Campaign Works

📧

Own Your Audience

Instagram can change algorithms. Email is yours forever.

GDPR Compliant

Users voluntarily provide their email in exchange for value — fully compliant.

Email List Building via Instagram DM Guide

Building an email list from your Instagram following is essential for any serious creator or business. Unlike social followers, your email list is an asset you own — it can't be taken away by algorithm changes or platform updates.

Why Email Capture Matters

  • You own your email list (platform-independent)
  • Email has higher conversion rates than social media
  • Direct access to your audience without algorithms
  • Build deeper relationships through personalized sequences
  • Essential for product launches and promotions

Email Collection Best Practices

  • Offer valuable content in exchange for email
  • Keep the ask simple and conversational
  • Explain why you want their email (to send updates)
  • Set up a welcome email sequence immediately
  • Respect their inbox with quality over quantity

Collected emails are stored in your CreatorFlow dashboard. You can export them or connect to email marketing tools.

Is this GDPR compliant?
