The Content Format
A UK-based Amazon affiliate reviewer with 95K Instagram followers created a viral content format: "Gold or Trash" product reviews. Each reel features honest, no-BS reviews of trending Amazon products - kitchen gadgets, tech accessories, home organization tools, beauty products. The verdict at the end: "GOLD ✅" (worth buying) or "TRASH 🗑️" (save your money).
The Problem
Her reels were getting 200K-800K views each, with thousands of comments asking "LINK?" or "Where to buy?" But she couldn't manually respond to 3,000+ comments per viral reel. She was losing 90% of potential affiliate commissions because people couldn't find the product links quickly enough. By the time she responded manually, viewers had moved on or bought from someone else.
The InstantDM Solution
She implemented comment automation with InstantDM. Now when someone comments on her product review reels, they instantly receive a DM with the Amazon affiliate link, product details, current price, discount codes (if available), and alternative product recommendations. The automation captures every interested buyer at peak interest.
How the System Works
- Reel Posted: "Gold or Trash: Budget Air Fryer from Amazon"
- Comments Flood In: "LINK", "Need this", "Where?", "Amazon link?"
- InstantDM Triggers: Any comment → Instant automated DM
- DM Contains: Amazon affiliate link, product name, current price, pros/cons summary
- Bonus Content: Similar products, discount codes, buying tips
- Purchase Tracking: Tag users by product interest for future recommendations
The Results

- Comments handled: 8,500+ automated responses per month
