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.

Tara McMullin: Where Are They Now

Jun 20, 2019

Tara McMullin (formerly Gentile) is back for our very first Where Are They Now episode. Tara’s the founder & host of What Works. She’s been connecting small business owners through mastermind groups and online community for over a decade. Whether on the podcast or in the online network, her goal is to facilitate the free flow of ideas, information, and inspiration between entrepreneurs.

 

She believes that no one person has the answer to “what works” in small business–but that, together, we can create a living, breathing knowledge-base of real-world solutions to all of our small business challenges.

 

“We use different levels of service. They’re operational levels as opposed to a pricing, marketing, or customer levels. I'm not building a business model to help people move from one level to another. I'm providing three different service options for them.” – Tara McMullin
