How long should I continue using the Instagram direct message technique with curators?

Keep working this technique until either the attention leaves Instagram or the technique itself gets played out, which is likely years away. This isn’t a short-term tactic - it should be part of your ongoing marketing strategy. Invest time daily, weekly, and monthly working this approach. Instagram is where the attention and opportunity currently are, and the direct message space specifically remains relatively uncrowded. Treat this as a long-term investment in building your career and online sales, not as a temporary campaign. Show up consistently and do the work over an extended period to see the best results.
