👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.

You post consistently. You get likes, you get comments, you even get shares. Then you open your inquiries and there's nothing there. If your whole plan for how to get wedding clients is Instagram, and Instagram isn't producing, that gap will wreck you.

That was Elyse Stokes in July of 2024. She ran a ten day birthday promo, made the graphics, boosted the posts, ran Facebook ads. Plenty of engagement. Not one inquiry. Five days after her birthday she broke her leg, and she spent that summer in a recliner doing the math on whether she'd have to go back to a job and put her son in daycare.

Two years later she's booked a year and a half out and turning couples away.

She's a live wedding painter and wedding stationer in Georgia, and she gets specific in this one about what she cut, what she kept, and what actually changed.
