Caitlin Clark goes viral on LinkedIn after reportedly being paid $600,000 in marketing webinar

The Caitlin Clark effect can be felt outside the WNBA. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick's popularity has risen exponentially, and Clark has started appearing on virtual reunions and in-person commitments.

X/Twitter account @clrkszn shared a series of LinkedIn posts. The person said that Clark had been booked for four in-person conferences: cardiovascular research technologies, the Massachusetts Conference for Women, Becker’s Healthcare annual ASC meeting and the National Conference for Women.

A LinkedIn post went viral Friday after Clark appeared in a live marketing webinar. Kerri Jenkins, who attended, called Clark a "powerhouse." Jenkins noted Clark's key points: failure is part of success, accountability starts with oneself, academics come before athletics and culture matters. Clark also emphasized that people stay when they feel valued and heard.

Caitlin Clark’s team reportedly charges $100,000 per virtual and in-person appearance, according to a LinkedIn post by Don A. Steinbrugge. This rate suggests Clark has earned $600,000 with two virtual appearances and four in-person commitments.

After a terrific journey in college and a historical 2024 WNBA season, Clark should have learned one thing or two about leadership. She took the Indiana Fever from a 1-9 start to the 20-20 record and the sixth seed in the standings. She averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game last season.

Caitlin Clark was featured on Time's cover for 'Inspiring Women'

On Wednesday, Caitlin Clark was selected as one of the stars for the cover of Time's "Inspiring Women" edition. The young guard was featured alongside major names like Serena Williams and Taylor Swift as one of the 'Changemakers for a Better World.'

Clark has become a star in the WNBA, and her impact just started to be felt. She has a bright future, and when everything is said and done, she'll probably be a trailblazer for women's sports.
