Mackenzie Thompson, PodCast | TheMacLyf & Fake Paid Articles
“Mackenzie Thompson aka TheMacLyf is a YouTube Podcaster, Online Marketer, and Founder of the Program, The Hive Mind” – Bio from Paid Articles
Mackenzie Thompson’s commissioned articles delve into his Facebook Marketplace drop shipping venture and his YouTube Podcast journey. According to the sponsored content, he initiated his business early in life, establishing his reputation through Facebook Marketplace dropshipping. Presently, he operates as a dedicated YouTube podcaster, digital nomad, and coach, specializing in guiding individuals on building their social brands and generating income online.
When someone asserts themselves as a dropshipping expert and a successful podcaster, establishing credibility becomes essential before persuading others to engage with their services. Thompson has bolstered his credibility among readers and followers through these paid articles. While his expertise, achievements, and skills are genuine, the articles and interviews below are not. He boasts about being the best in the industry and showcases publications on various platforms like Marketwatch, LA Progressive, and The New York Weekly. However, these are essentially brand content, accessible to anyone willing to pay the required fee.

LET’S ANALYZE THE PAID ARTICLES PUBLICATIONS:
In the realm of digital media, Mackenzie Thompson, also known as TheMacLyf, recognizes the significance of verified badges and personal branding. Therefore, his choice to invest in paid articles comes as no surprise. Paid interviews and featured articles serve as a direct or indirect means to secure verification on social media platforms, a modern shortcut to credibility. His earlier paid articles revolved around his expertise in Facebook Marketplace Dropshipping, while his recent content focuses on YouTube. However, the majority of these articles are published on spam websites known for their “pay-to-publish” model. They are often available on freelancing sites or forums, priced between $50 to $100 or bundled in PR packages. These self-written articles are published without scrutiny, and while some carry disclaimers, indicating their paid nature, many are undoubtedly misleading.
For example – An article on VentsMagazine is $10, NYWeekly $199, and Ibtimes $299, etc.
