Many of his Paid Interviews looks real and organic but they are not. This publication does not check the content and publishes the self-drafted articles submitted by the provider. Few of the publications can be purchased from Facebook PR and Guest Posting group or Fiverr.com. Publications like Disrupt Magazine, Influencive, and Kivo Daily are known for their “Pay to Publish” Model. Any articles or interviews you find on such sites are self-posted and paid. One of the examples is his Futureshark article that anyone can buy from their website itself [ https://futuresharks.com/subscription/ ]

FAISAL SHAFIQUE ON FORBES
Getting published on Forbes is getting easier day by day. You ask how? Well if you have a good PR service provider with a great connection with the publication then it is possible. Since Faisal Shafique is into the digital industry, he understands the importance of opting for PR Services that can put you on, Forbes. Alternately, anyone can get on Forbes by hiring a PR Freelancer from portals like upwork.com or peopleperhour.com.
His article, “Achieving Instagram Growth In The Age Of AI And Algorithmic Bias” by Annie Brown is a paid PR Article. But getting your article on Forbes ain’t cheap and Faisal Shafique has spent a good $$$$ to get his article published. Btw Annie Brown, the contributor who was known to publish such paid articles has been barred from Forbes after she was exposed.
We look forward to more of his Interviews and Stories which are not Paid.
