DMisland Referral Code: Get 500 Extra DMs and Grow Followers

Enter a referral code when you sign up for DMisland and you get a coupon for 500 extra DMs. Don't have a code? Enter DMisland - you still get the full +500 DMs. And every time a friend enters your code, you earn another 300 DMs. There's no cap on how many friends you can invite.

The short version

  1. Enter a friend's code or DMisland at signup → +500 DMs
  2. A friend enters your code → +300 DMs for you, every time
  3. Use your coupons within 45 days, ideally in your busiest month

Below: how to enter a code, when to use your coupons, and how to turn the extra DMs into more followers and customers. New to comment-to-DM? Start with how to auto-DM people who comment on Instagram.

At a glance

Your situation Code to enter What you get
A friend gave you their code Their code
(e.g. AB7K9QXZ)
+500 DMs for you, +300 DMs for them
You don't have a code DMisland +500 DMs
A friend entered your code - +300 DMs per friend

Step 1: Enter your referral code

  1. Sign up and connect your Instagram professional account.
  2. The quick setup survey that follows has a Referral code (optional) field. Enter the code and click [Apply].
  3. Missed it? You can enter a code later in Account settings.

If you sign up through a friend's invite link (dmisland.com/?ref=CODE), the code is filled in for you. Codes aren't case-sensitive, so dmisland works too.

Step 2: Use your coupon

Coupons land in the Plan tab. Click [Use] and the DMs are added to this month's limit right away.

Here's what that does to your monthly limit:

Plan Monthly limit Month you use +500 Plus coupons from 3 invited friends
Free 1,000 DMs 1,500 DMs 2,400 DMs
Pro 20,000 DMs 20,500 DMs 21,400 DMs

Each coupon must be used within 45 days of when you receive it, and it only applies to the month you use it in. Your plan doesn't change.

When to use your coupons

If... Do this
You have a launch, drop or sale coming up this month Use them before it starts - automations pause when you hit your limit
You usually stay under your limit Save them, but use them before the 45 days are up
You hit your limit and your automations turned off Use a coupon, then turn your automations back on

Turn extra DMs into followers with the follow gate

Extra DMs work best with the follow gate. With it on, people have to follow you before they get the link. Every DM you send becomes a reason to follow.

  1. Post something like "Comment GUIDE and I'll DM you the checklist."
  2. Turn on the follow gate in your automation. DMisland checks the follow automatically.
  3. In a month you expect a spike, use your coupons so you don't run out halfway through.

The follow gate is included on the Free plan.

3 ways to share your referral link

Find your code in the Invite friends card in the app or in Account settings, then click [Copy code] or [Copy link].

1. Add it as the second button in your delivery DM

Each DM can have up to three link buttons. Put your resource on the first and your referral link on the second.

Delivery DM example: a Get the checklist button with a Try auto-DMs yourself button below it

People see it right after they get what they asked for, so it never feels pushy. It works especially well if a lot of your followers are creators or sellers themselves.

2. Add one line to your bio link or pinned comment

Something like "The auto-DM you just got? Here's the tool I use" with your invite link. You're just sharing what you actually use, so it reads naturally.

3. Share your link with creators in your niche

Show how you set up auto-DMs for your last launch, then share your link. Don't post the same message in lots of places. If you pay someone to promote your link, make sure their post is clearly labeled as an ad or sponsored.

FAQ

Do I lose out if I don't have a referral code?

How many friends can I invite?

As many as you like. You get a 300-DM coupon every time someone enters your code.

Does it work on the Pro plan?

Yes. Coupons add to Pro's 20,000 DMs a month too.
