Instagram Auto DM for Life Coaches: Keywords, DM Scripts and What to Sell

A life coach's reels earn comments like "I needed this", "how do I start?" and "do you take clients?". An Instagram auto DM for life coaching turns that moment of openness into a discovery call booking before the person scrolls on. Choose a keyword such as CLARITY, write one DM with your worksheet and booking link, and Viralyze sends it in about a second.

Here is what a life coach should sell by DM, three keyword ideas, a DM script that fills discovery calls, and a package menu.

What should a life coach sell through Instagram DMs?

A free worksheet (for example, a "wheel of life" self-assessment) as a lead magnet, a self-paced course such as a 14-day habit reset, and 1:1 coaching packages booked as sessions. Some coaches add a group programme sold as a course with live calls.

Viralyze sells each of these from its own checkout page at 0% platform fee, with UPI, cards and net banking accepted and weekly payouts. The 1:1 sessions run through the booking page, so the discovery call and the paid sessions both live on one link.

Which keywords fit a life coach's content?

• CLARITY on reels about feeling stuck or overwhelmed, sending the worksheet PDF
• RESET on habit, routine or morning reels, sending the 14-day course checkout
• CALL on client-story or "what coaching is" reels, sending the free discovery call booking

Keywords are not case-sensitive and typos are handled, so "clarity pls" works. One automation can hold several keywords with a different reply each, and a Hinglish option like "call book karo" can sit next to CALL.

A DM script that fills discovery calls

For the CALL keyword:

"Hey, glad that reel landed. I offer a free 20-minute clarity call where we look at the one thing you most want to change in the next 90 days and whether coaching fits. No pitch if it does not. Pick a slot here, it syncs to your calendar with a Meet link. One question before the call: what would be different in 3 months if this worked? Reply here, I read every message."

The reply arrives in the Viralyze Inbox with the original comment, so you walk into the call knowing which reel moved them.

Should the discovery call be free or paid?

Free is normal for a 20-minute fit call, paid is sensible for a 60-minute strategy session. Set both on the booking menu. Because payment for the paid session is collected upfront by UPI or card, people who book are committed, and WhatsApp reminders cut no-shows. You decide whether clients can cancel themselves and until when; refunds go back automatically.

What goes on a life coach's booking menu?

1. 20-minute clarity call, Google Meet, ₹0 2. 60-minute single coaching session, Google Meet, ₹2,500 3. 6-session package over 6 weeks, ₹12,000 4. Add-on: WhatsApp support between sessions, ₹1,500

Connect Google Calendar once, choose which calendars block slots, add a 15-minute buffer, and block "after 6 PM" on days you keep for family. The client is invited to the event with a Meet link automatically.

How do I know the automation is working?

The home screen shows DMs sent, link clicks, follower growth and revenue over 7, 30 or 90 days, plus top reels by DMs. The per-automation funnel shows comments, matched, delivered, clicked and signed up. If CALL gets clicks but few bookings, the slot times or the DM copy need a change, not the reel.

Frequently asked questions

**Can I start the RESET automation only when the course opens?** Yes. Schedule it for a date and time, and auto-pause it on the enrolment deadline.

**Do I need a Facebook Page or a flow builder?** No. Viralyze needs only an Instagram Business or Creator account, and setup is keyword, message, tap.

**Is my client data safe?** Viralyze is DPDP Act compliant, does not sell personal data, and you remain the data fiduciary for your audience.
