How to Generate Leads on Instagram

Instagram is full of high-intent followers — the trick is capturing them before they scroll away. Here's how to turn engagement into leads.

How it works

Step by step

1

Create a lead magnet

Offer something worth a DM — a guide, discount, checklist or free consult — that people unlock by commenting or messaging a keyword.

2

Drive the action with comment-to-DM

Set a keyword so commenters get an automatic DM with the offer, then start a conversation from there.

3

Qualify in the DM

Use a short flow or Talksy to ask a couple of questions and figure out who's a real fit before handing off.
