What sending 100+ DMs with no reply taught me

Heyyy friend,

Hope it’s cool if I get a little real with you today.

A few months ago, I hit a wall.
I was sending DMs to people I genuinely admired.
Startups I loved. Founders I respected.
Crafting every word carefully. Reading it twice.
Clicking "Send" with hope.

And still? Silence.

No “no.”
No, “not interested.”
Just… nothing.

That’s when it stopped feeling like outreach. And started feeling like I didn’t exist.

Not gonna lie, that stung.

I wasn’t chasing virality.
I just wanted to connect.
Start a conversation. Be seen.
And it was wild how invisible I felt.

But instead of quitting, I started building.

xAutoDM was born out of that exact moment.

I didn’t want to mass blast people.
I wanted a way to scale warmth.
To reach out with intention, without burning out.

The idea was simple:
What if sending 50 DMs could still feel like sending 1?
What if automation didn’t kill the human part?

And slowly, it started working.
I saw replies that used to take days come in within minutes.
People writing back with “hey, this actually felt personal.”

Those little wins? They meant everything.

So if you're feeling the silence too, I just want you to know it’s not you.

The game is loud.
And sometimes,
thoughtful people get drowned out.

But you don’t have to scream to be heard.
You just need the right way to show up.

That’s why I built xAutoDM.
And if it helps even one more person feel less alone in their outreach journey, then it’s doing exactly what I hoped it would.

See you out there,
Piyushh (Founder, xAutoDM)
