About DirectSocials
01What is the difference between DirectGram and DirectLink?
DirectGram helps Instagram accounts grow with targeting, automatic interaction and welcome DMs. DirectLink focuses on business campaigns and follow-up on LinkedIn.
02Can I use both tools at the same time?
Yes. The tools work independently and can run side by side when you are active on both channels. DirectLink is currently available in the Netherlands; for other countries you can request access.
03Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Both tools are easy to set up, and our team in the Netherlands helps you get started personally.
04Who is behind DirectSocials?
DirectSocials is a trade name of Digital Growth Masters B.V., registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK 92244785). You deal with the team that builds the software, based in Loenen, the Netherlands.
DirectGram (Instagram)
01How exactly does DirectGram work?
You connect your Instagram account and set who you want to reach. The software then carries out targeted activity every day, so relevant users come across your profile. You keep creating your own content.
02Will I get real followers?
No followers are bought and no fake accounts are added. The software puts your profile in front of real Instagram users, who decide for themselves whether to follow you. Results vary per account.
03Can I choose my own audience?
Yes, that is the core of it. You target similar accounts, locations, interests and niches, and you can change that whenever you like.
04How quickly can I start?
Setting up takes about fifteen minutes. The software starts its first activities the same day.
05How do automatic follow-up messages work?
You write one message, and every new follower receives it automatically. You can include a question, a link or an offer; replies arrive in your own Instagram inbox.
06Will I lose followers if I stop?
The followers are real people who chose to follow you. Whether they keep following you depends on your content, among other things; we cannot predict that.
07Who is DirectGram for?
For business owners, online shops, creators and agencies who want to grow their Instagram without spending hours on it every day.
DirectLink (LinkedIn)
01Is DirectLink available in my country?
DirectLink is currently available in the Netherlands. For other countries you can request access; our team will discuss the options and timing with you.
02Do I have to hand over my password?
No. You connect your account by logging in to LinkedIn itself. We never see your password and do not store it, and you can revoke access at any time.
03How many invitations go out per day?
You set that yourself. In practice, campaigns run at around sixteen invitations a day, spread over working hours. A steady flow over the weeks works better than a peak on a single day.
04Does DirectLink write my messages?
No, you write them yourself, which is why they read as if you sent them. A campaign can also run with just a connection request and no message.
05What happens when someone replies?
The campaign stops for that person and you take over. The reply arrives in your DirectLink inbox and the person is saved as a lead.
Trial, pricing and cancelling
01How does the DirectGram trial work?
You can try DirectGram free for 14 days. You add a payment method at the start, but nothing is charged during the trial. Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
02What does it cost?
For DirectGram, the price for your country is shown in the checkout before you confirm. For DirectLink, request access and our team will tell you what applies to your country.
03Can I cancel?
Yes. DirectGram can be cancelled monthly, and also during the trial.
04How do I manage my subscription?
Through your customer portal. There you can see your invoices, change your details and cancel.
05Can I use multiple accounts?
One subscription covers one Instagram account. If you manage more, for example as an agency, take a look at white label.
Safety and control
01Is this safe for my account?
You work from your own account; we never take it over. Actions are spread over 12 to 15 hours a day, within limits you set, and you can pause at any time. Even so, Instagram or LinkedIn can always impose restrictions on an account; we cannot rule that out.
02Do I stay in control?
Yes. You decide your audience, pace and settings, and you can adjust or pause the activity at any time.
03What if Instagram or LinkedIn changes something?
You keep control over your account, time windows and pace, and you can pause at any time. We cannot rule out that changes at Instagram or LinkedIn affect how the tools work.
