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.

Chris Guillebeau on Book Publishing Myths and "Born for This"

Apr 7, 2016

Book publishing has become a market that is sometimes overlooked. Many people believe the misconception that book publishing is simply not very profitable – not to mention a lot of work! This lead me to wonder exactly how much work is involved in writing and publishing a book and how much can an author make?

I sat down with Chris Guillebeau and asked him some hard questions about his business. He shared with me how he gets paid through multiple streams of income, attributing 50% of his income to writing and publishing books. He explains what he does during the pre-launch period of publishing his books as well as how book tours can help authors improve audience awareness and increase sales. I also get a sneak-peek explanation about his newly released book: Born For This.
