LET’S ANALYZE THE PAID ARTICLES PUBLICATIONS:

While Francis Volpe is dedicated to creating wonderful content for his clients, at the same time he is also focused on content marketing for himself through Fake & Paid Feature / Interviews article. His few paid articles claim that he is one of the most sought content strategists in Westchester, NY along with his business partner which is difficult to digest.  Because when you are paying for the articles,  then you are free to claim or glorify anything you want.

He also uses his existing Self Published paid Articles of one publication to promote himself in some other publications and his agency. For example, An article on Village Voice Says “Francis Volpe was also featured in many media outlets, including the California Herald, Kivo Daily, The American Reporter, and others”  Seriously?  You were Featured or did You actually pay for them? 

Publications such as NYWeekly, JPost, OceanDrive,  VillageVoice, etc allow you to post any article about yourself for $999.  You can directly contact this publication or can opt for PR Services to publish this sponsored content. In his case, it looks like DN News Network is the Paid Article Publishing Service Provider.

ENTREPRENEUR 30 UNDER 30. REAL OR ANOTHER PAID PLACEMENT?

Getting featured yourself Listed or your Agency – Y Not You Media in Media Outlets or Publications’ list of “30 Under 30” is a matter of prestige and appreciation.  But when you cannot make it on a Prestigious outlet/institution then why not pay to be on Paid  List?

PR Service providers come up with their own list which includes lots of entrepreneurs and publish in publication that runs on the “Pay to Publish” Model such as NYWEEKLY. And the only criteria are $100 – $300 to get included in the list. Entrepreneurs in this List are those people who can be seen doing lots of Paid Articles.  Francis Volpe mentioned in this List is also Paid – https://nyweekly.com/entrepreneur/30-under-30/ . The NYWEEKLY list has no credibility and is just created for monetization purposes by offering the spot to desperate entrepreneurs.

Another such article is of Entrepreneur [ https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/353733 ]  –  ”  15 entrepreneurs under 30 to consider  ” Getting featured in Entrepreneur USA requires strict vetting of the individual’s credibility and they do not allow any random so-called entrepreneurs to be covered in their publications by any of the contributors. But When you have a budget of $3000, then you can get featured on Entrepreneur.com under their Brand  Content Program. The author of this article where Francis Volpe is mentioned has clubbed a few entrepreneurs whom she charged $$$ and listed them in the so-called Entrepreneurs under 30 List.   The article is also Paid and Has no  Credibility itself.

SHARING PAID SPOTS WITH OTHERS

Some publications really drill holes in the Pocket.  So it’s an old trend of the PR  industry to club two entrepreneurs in a Single paid article to save the expense.  This is what we see with publications that are expensive or flexible with the acceptance of content.   Francis Volpe shares Paid Article spots with other Entrepreneurs in IB Times, and Times of Israel and Maximum is also Paid and Fake. The Google search of other Entrepreneurs who are with Francis Volpe can take you to tons of Paid articles done by themselves too. Looks like All  Entrepreneurs are on the Same Journey – Post Fake Paid Articles everywhere and get verified.
