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.

Kelly Smith: 70 Sales and the Summer Off

Sep 18, 2025

What happens when your meditation podcast suddenly explodes overnight? Kelly Smith found out during the pandemic—and the aftermath wasn't what she expected.

Kelly shares her journey from opening a yoga studio in a "one-bar, one-Walmart town" in Missouri to creating location-independent teacher training while raising two young kids. We dig into the money mindset blocks that plague the spiritual community, why she believes you shouldn't be afraid to be someone's "goat cheese," and how she handled the backlash when she started monetizing her free content.

This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:

  • Why the most expensive investment in her business gave her "heart palpitations" (and why she did it twice)
  • The goat cheese philosophy that changed how she handles criticism
  • What happened when her podcast exploded during the pandemic
  • How she structures her business to work minimal hours with maximum impact
