Examining Content Creator Charlene Izere’s Fake Paid Articles
“Charlene Izere is the ex founder of three business ventures – Wellness Delivered ( a self-care and community brand ), Melanin & Money ( a resource hub for Black Women entrepreneurs ), and Soulful Systems ( an Online Business Management Agency ) which is no where to be seen now “- Bio from Paid Articles.
Charlene Izere weaves her own story as a black female entrepreneur through sponsored and paid PR interviews and feature stories that centre on the empowerment of black women. Her path has been paved with victories over enormous obstacles and disappointments, which fueled her desire to launch her business endeavours in order to protect others from like misfortunes. It is commendable that Charlene is dedicated to creating an environment that is more encouraging and welcoming for black female entrepreneurs. In order to achieve this goal, she understands how important it is to raise her personal profile and reputation, and one effective way to do this is to land major articles in prestigious online magazines.
In pursuit of recognition, she opted for paid PR articles, recounting her personal odyssey—from humble beginnings such as house cleaning and crafting assets for an ostrich enterprise to attaining a lucrative six-figure income. She is portrayed in her sponsored pieces as a “Top Black Female Creator and Entrepreneur,” a claim that raises skepticism. Below publications may be easily purchased for between $50 and $500 on freelance marketplaces like as Fiverr.com and PeoplePerhour.com. Getting published in these magazines mostly requires financial investment; the other processes are rather simple.
After acquiring the articles, it’s essential to leverage them for your branding and marketing efforts. You’ll find the following banner prominently displayed on her website: [ http://charleneizere.com ]. Instead of “As Seen on”, it should be “As Paid for”.

LET’S ANALYZE THE PAID ARTICLES PUBLICATIONS:
Charlene Izere doesn’t seem to be fully aware of the impact that featured articles and narrative can have. She emphasises how crucial it is to build authority in a certain sector by drawing on one’s own story and experiences. To increase her credibility, Charlene has used paid interviews and featured articles in a variety of outlets. She posts these sponsored articles boldly on all of her social media accounts, often making it difficult to tell which content is sponsored and which is organic.
She can be seen on Facebook with the caption, “Thrive Global just picked up my story and I couldn’t be more excited.” This is after she published her sponsored piece on Thriveglobal. Really? Anyone can register a community on ThriveGlobal.com for free, and as long as the information is well-written and free of political bias, anyone can post. Thriveglobal is not involved in any material publication. In her instance, it’s Kelly Wing, whose biography is replete with numerous examples of these business owners who chose to pay for articles. An article on ThriveGlobal can be purchased from Fiver.com (FREELANCE Community) for just $50. This isn’t really noteworthy. Anyone can contribute and have their own stuff published.

As the ex CEO and Founder of these three businesses, Charlene has become a bright light that inspires women everywhere. However, if these extraordinary accomplishments aren’t given the credit they merit, their actual value can remain hidden. For this reason, using paid articles to highlight your achievements is essential. Here are some examples of stories that feature her which are sponsored & paid. It’s important to note that these newspapers follow a “Pay to Publish” strategy, which occasionally raises concerns over their reliability.
You must pay $100 for a publication like Influencive, $50 for SeekersTimes, $100 for Disrupt Magazine, and more.
Here are the list of website where we can found her paid interviews & feature article – Download the List
CHARLENE IZERE ON ENTREPRENEUR.COM AND AMONG THE TOP FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS. HOW?
One of the “Female Entrepreneurs to watch in 2021” is Charlene Izere, according to an Entrepreneur India article. It’s important to note that the content is sponsored and it costs between $1500 and $2000. It seems that seven business owners banded together to invest so they could be mentioned in the article which is a sponsored placement. Among the entrepreneurs highlighted in these sponsored publications are Dr. Bao-Tran and Annetta Powell whom we have already covered in our website.

CHARLENE IZERE ON FORBES.COM
Given that the majority of Charlene Izere’s web publications are paid for, the Forbes.com post titled “The Importance Of Social Capital, According To One Black Female Founder” appears dubious. It’s clear that this is a paid item that was recommended to her by a public relations firm and published.
We look forward to Charlene’s genuine articles rather than sponsored content like this.
