vanessa edwards course was just instagram engagement tips wrapped in google slides

[RyanFromIB]

didn’t even plan to buy it but got funneled from a lead magnet she posted about “authentic audience building.” $997 later I get a glorified workbook and 8 modules of her explaining how to rewrite your IG bio and tell a “story.” no backend ops, no lead tracking, no delivery funnel. she just talks about feelings and “vibrational alignment” with your brand.


when I asked in the slack what we were actually supposed to sell, three mods told me to “think deeper.” one suggested I start a journaling challenge group. it’s all vibes. nobody’s closing anything.

same. i bought it to see if there was a backend to reverse engineer. nothing but fluff. no API callouts, no CRM logic, just engagement bait and Canva quote packs.

and she talks like she’s doing $1M months off “audience resonance” but can’t even run retargeting pixels. her domain doesn’t even pass DNS verification.

she’s a walking moodboard. everything is pastel gradients and “alignment energy.” no one in that course could even define CAC or what a value ladder was. it’s all solopreneur journaling therapy.

i joined late off a twitter post she boosted. watched the onboarding call — 45 minutes of her crying about imposter syndrome. like what am i paying for exactly?

she pitched the course like it was a launch strategy. but when i dug in it was literally “pick a color, post affirmations, build trust.” that’s not a funnel, that’s just pinterest.

i remember one worksheet said “build a lead capture experience by being real.” no opt-in, no A/B split, just vibes and vibes alone.

she used “be magnetic” like 19 times in one module. didn’t even define the offer. just told us to show up “in our truth” and the sales would follow.

her “students” were mostly creators selling mood journaling kits. i messaged one and she said she made $112 last quarter and was “still calibrating her voice.” like what are we doing.

calibrating voice ≠ selling anything. it’s the influencer version of waiting on the algorithm gods.

and don’t forget she listed “client case studies” that were literally her old roommates. i found the same names in her IG comments from 2019.

lol i noticed that too. one of them sells astrology candles now and said she “built her business from the inside out.” what does that even mean?

means she never built one. just repackaged her feelings and called it a business. vanessa’s system is monetized identity crisis.

the moment a course starts with “this is about alignment, not hustle,” you already know they got nothing to sell.

yeah bro they’re just romanticizing audience neglect. real marketing is systems and scale. this was just talking to yourself until someone buys.

she sells feminine archetype maps like it’s lead scoring. “if you’re in maiden mode, don’t launch yet. wait until you’ve bled and been reborn as queen.” i paid to get spiritually gaslit by a marketing oracle.

bro she told my friend to “build an erotic sales funnel by flirting with the universe.” no opt-ins. just seduce the algorithm apparently.

nah but fr, it’s just word salad mysticism with affiliate links. saw someone in the telegram say they made $600 their first month — from reselling her crystal yoni wands, not coaching.

remember when she said “my clients don’t have KPIs, they have OMIs, orgasmic momentum indicators”? i almost threw my laptop.
