Ashira Prossack, Forbes Contributor & Paid PR Mentions
Forbes.com is a US Publications that talks about business, news from all around the world. It’s well-known for being really trustworthy. People in the PR and SEO business think highly of Forbes because it’s hard to get mentioned in their articles. If you manage to get your business talked about in Forbes, like in an article or just a mention, it’s really good for entrepreneur and business. Your brand becomes credible, you show up higher in online searches, people trust you more, and more people know about you. That’s why PR and business people really want to be in Forbes.
Business owners and people are willing to pay a lot of money for it. But getting featured in Forbes is not easy. If you have budget then easiest way is to hire a PR company that has connection with people who write for Forbes. But you need to have budget, usually between $1000 and $8000, to make this happen. Forbes Contributors usually say this isn’t true, but it’s something that people in the PR industry know happens. One of the such contributor is Ashira Prossack whose column is filled with paid mentions that we will explore below. Her authorship is suspended.

MULTIPLE PAID MENTIONS IN SINGLE ARTICLE
Combining many client mentions is an old trick in the PR world. They usually write articles like lists, so it’s easy to talk about different clients. For instance, in an article called “5 Ways To Be a Better Leader,” they might talk about Mike Zeller, Rudi Riekstins, and Theo Cummings. Rudi Riekstins has done lot of paid articles himself, and we’ve talked about this on our website.
