Sell a PDF when someone comments “PDF” on your Instagram post
By Akshit Ahuja, Co-Founder of Peerseek · Updated
Quick answer
Upload your PDF as a digital product, then create an Auto DM automation on Comments on your Post or Reel. When a follower comments your keyword, Auto DM sends your product link. They pay by UPI and download the file. Auto DM is free, and Peerseek keeps 5% of each sale.

File downloads
This is for creators who share a guide, checklist, template or workbook and are tired of replying to every comment by hand. If your post already gets comments asking for the file, this turns each one into a sale instead of a free favour.

Good to know
- Auto DM is free, so a post that takes off does not turn into a bill.
- Buyers pay without creating an account, so there is one step between the comment and the sale.
- One automation can use up to 20 keywords, so you can catch “PDF”, “guide” and “link” on the same post.

Ab jo bhi us keyword par comment karega, use DM mein link mil jayega, aur wo UPI se pay karke file download kar lega.
