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.

Vix Meldrew: Turning Around a Launch Flop and Ending With 82 New Clients

Apr 3, 2026

Vix Meldrew is one of those people who has actually lived multiple internet lives — and somehow turned all of it into a business that sells memberships and group programs at scale.

In this episode, Vix breaks down how she went from being a sex + dating blogger (while teaching primary school!) to building a membership with hundreds of members… and then making the decision to close it when Reels changed everything.

We talk audience growth, offer evolution, what happened during a launch that started as a total flop (two sales on day one) and how she turned it around, and the real behind-the-scenes of building a business while going through IVF, pregnancy, and postpartum.

This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:

  • The unexpected origin story behind Vix’s business (and why she had a pseudonym)

  • How she grew a membership fast — and what made her community so hot early on

  • How Reels changed everything (and why she shut down recurring revenue)

  • The launch that started with a faceplant… and the pivot that saved it

  • The organic growth strategy she’s using now (and why it’s not “post more”)

  • What motherhood + postpartum actually did to her business ambition and capacity

About Vix Meldrew:
