List of Forbes Contributor Involved in Paid PR Activity.
Forbes.com is a global US Publication, focusing on business, investing, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership, and lifestyle. It’s a matter of prestige and credibility if you are mentioned in the Forbes Article. Getting your business featured in Forbes opens doors for you personally, as you become known as an expert in your field.
Now, achieving this is only feasible by providing a substantial financial incentive to certain contributors who can turn your aspirations into reality. Several of these contributors boast esteemed profiles, showcasing top-notch content that makes it challenging to discern between paid and organic articles. Interestingly, these contributors actively disavow any involvement in paid activities, yet they do engage in them discreetly. They refrain from accepting paid article requests or pitches and prefer to operate solely through their trusted sources.
Forbes contributors often present brands or entrepreneurs in a manner that maintains the appearance of organic content or groups multiple clients within a single article, creating the illusion of impartiality. These articles can take the form of interviews, feature pieces, or brief mentions spanning one to two lines.
If you’re seeking to acquire Forbes services, it’s best to avoid approaching contributors who deny engaging in paid mentions. Instead, consider visiting platforms like Fiverr.com, Swapd, BlackhatForum, or PeoplePerhour where numerous freelancers offer Forbes-related services. On these platforms, you can find freelancers willing to provide 1 or 2 mentions for approximately $1200 to $2000, while feature articles may range from $8,000 to $10,000.
