The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss Claire Pelletreau

Claire Pelletreau was just starting to grow her side business as a Facebook ad and marketing consultant when her full-time job disappeared. Desperate to land enough clients just to pay the bills, she was disappointed at how difficult it was to find real tactical advice that would help actually her get paid month to month. The Get Paid Podcast is Claire’s attempt to pull back the curtain on the reality of running an online business. All these people pulling in “six figures” - how are they ACTUALLY doing it? What kind of money do they take home after expenses? What are those expenses, anyway? Are they truly “solopreneurs” or are they supported by a team? What does that team do for them? How are they marketing their offerings and growing their lists? How long did it take to get to where they are? You’ll discover how different entrepreneurs get paid and what it costs them to bring in that money.

A Debrief of Our C- Launch (and Some News)
In this week's episode of the Get Paid Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my latest "C- effort" launch that surprisingly raked in just under $50K. I didn’t bother with new content or pump out a ton of podcast episodes. Even amidst some big personal life changes, this laid-back approach still exceeded our expectations.
I'll break down why fast-action bonuses are a game-changer, the power of recycling emails, and how managing minimal efforts can still yield maximum results – also stay tuned to the end for a special announcement!
This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:
How a C- effort still pulled an A- result, netting just under $50K in our last launch
Why you definitely don’t want to skip out on offering your audience fast-action bonuses
If in doubt, reuse your past emails…it actually works
Why I’m still happy to only nearly hit my launch goal
Reflecting on personal challenges and how they play a role in how I do and do not show up for launches
And why I don’t always have to give every launch 100% thanks to these low cost marketing strategies we have implemented over time

Why More Women Need to Press the Easy Button on their Businesses
What’s the difference between men and women when it comes to entrepreneurship? That’s a question I tackle today, and the answer has nothing to do with biology. For every online business, there’s what I like to call the “easy button” approach to bringing in regular new leads.
But, in a study I’ll talk about today, more men than women are likely to take this route.
Yes, I’m talking about ads. And, I’ll break down why we need more women benefiting from this approach. Let’s get into it…
This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:
The gender gap in entrepreneurship
The theory of male hubris and female humility
How overconfidence can work in your favor
Why women get more discouraged by failure
The bias that ads mean you’re “cheating.”
Addressing people pleasing will benefit your business
What’s possible when more people, especially women, choose the easy button
