Spent $400 on a fancy portfolio website builder and my clients still say they just want to see my Instagram feed

I dropped that cash on a custom coded site with animations and everything, but after three months of getting asked for my Instagram handle instead of my URL, I'm wondering if any of you actually landed better gigs from a polished website or is it all just for impressing other freelancers?

Is your Instagram at least making you money though?

I saw some article saying most influencers barely break even on what they spend.

Does it count if I'm just buying more stuff through it?
