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.

How to Run Ads When You’re Afraid of Haters And/Or Don’t Love Your Looks

Aug 14, 2025

They called me “pelican” in fifth grade.

The mean girl in 10th grade? She shouted I was ugly in front of the whole class.

For years, those moments dictated how I showed up in my business… until one messy, totally unplanned ad flipped my beliefs about visibility on their head.

Today, I’m sharing what I learned about running ads when you hate being visible—and why your ideas about looking “professional” might be holding you back.

This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:

  • The unpolished ad that outperformed every “perfect” one I’d made

  • Three options for running ads when you don’t want to show your face

  • How to prepare for online haters (without losing your cool)

Now it’s time to GET PAID.
