The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss
Claire Pelletreau
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.

The Simplest Funnel to Get New Clients
Today I'm sharing a powerful tip for converting new leads from simple list-building ads into clients. This is something I see almost nobody doing.
