If you’re growing on Instagram but not capitalizing on new followers, this episode is going to change that.
Today on Go Get Great, we’re diving into the brand-new Manychat feature: welcome message for Instagram followers — what it is, how it works, and how you can use it strategically inside your business.
I’ll walk you through:
What ManyChat is (and why I use it)
How the new Instagram welcome message feature works
How to set up a welcome message for Instagram followers step-by-step
Why automating your DMs can increase engagement, leads, and sales
Because here’s the truth: when someone follows you, that’s a warm moment. They’re curious. They’re paying attention. And if you’re not starting a conversation with them, you’re leaving opportunity on the table.
I’m breaking down exactly how to send a welcome message for Instagram followers in a way that feels personal — not robotic — and how to connect it to your lead magnets, content, and sales process.
We also talk about why I’ve chosen ManyChat as my DM automation tool, how it supports organic engagement, and how this fits into a bigger sustainable marketing strategy.
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn followers into conversations (and conversations into clients), this episode will give you clarity and a practical next step.
If we haven't met yet, I’m Brittany, an online marketing strategist for female entrepreneurs. I teach women how to make their entrepreneurial dreams a reality through smart, actionable marketing strategies that get them seen, loved, and paid. Whether you’re eager to DIY your way to success or hire professionals to help you along the way–my goal is to make sure you walk away with the clarity you need to see the results you desire and build a life you love.
