Claffey began her podcasting career as co-host of It Galz before launching her solo true crime podcast, Red Room, in 2021. In a recent episode of Money Talks, she reflects on the financial fluctuations of content creation, mentioning that she matched her wage in the first year of It Galz and later doubled it. She acknowledges the challenges of gauging success, especially during Covid, and shares her spending habits, community-building strategies, and valuable financial advice that continues to benefit her.
"The first year [of the It Galz podcast], actually I think I exactly matched my wage. So, I was like, OK, if I just kept doing this, I'm still making a pretty good wage. And then the next year I think we doubled that."
"We were doing really, really well. I think I always knew that would happen, though, just in terms of how a business goes - you can go really up and then you might go down and then you find somewhere that's a bit more steady. Also, it was hard to gauge because our biggest year was Covid."
