How to switch without double DMs
- Do the fee math. If 5% of your monthly sales is more than the price gap between SuperProfile Creator and Max Pro, theZio's 0% fee until notice pays for itself.
- List your live AutoDM automations and products on SuperProfile. Note each post, keyword, DM text and link, plus each product's price and file.
- Create a theZio account and connect Instagram through Instagram Login, then upgrade to Max Pro and set up your Link in bio page.
- Recreate your products and courses, and finish the one-time PAN and bank check so Monday payouts can start.
- Turn off AutoDM for one post on SuperProfile, then recreate it in theZio. SuperProfile's own help advises disconnecting other automation tools, because two tools on one account can clash.
- Test with a second Instagram account and a coupon purchase, then switch your Instagram bio link.
