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.

What Sponsoring Gave Me That Attending Never Did

Apr 17, 2026

Claire just got back from Miami, where she sponsored Dielle Charon’'s Millionaires of Color conference for the first time — and she's sharing the WHOLE story. The stress spiral, the question she asked Dielle that completely changed how she showed up, and the unexpected moment that made every dollar worth it.

Plus: her best tips for getting an actual ROI out of any in-person event — whether you're a sponsor, going solo, or still on the fence about live events.

This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:

  • Why Claire said "I'm never doing this again" at least three times before she even got to the airport

  • What sponsoring gave her that two years of attending never did

  • Claire's exact tip for making networking feel effortless at any event (she's been using this one since 2014)

  • The two women at the conference who met as strangers last year and are now besties with businesses that took off
