Influential Women reached out to me on…
Influential Women reached out to me on LinkedIn saying they wanted to profile me. After a lengthy and very pleasant interview came the catch. They want $800-$1200 to be featured even though their website says that paid programs are not part of editorial decisions. The woman on the phone gave me a very hard sell. She eventually came down to about $15/month for a year, at which point I gave in and said yes. Then, after doing a deeper online search, I canceled and they gave me a refund. Still, be aware that they will present this as an honor and then ask you for money. I should've trusted my gut when they first reached out and I wondered what the catch would be.
