I Wasn't Informed That Outsourcely.com Has Chosen Me to Be Their Model
So I was blogging yesterday afternoon when our good friend, Mr. Elijah Mendoza from Starmobile, sent me this curious message on Facebook.
I hurriedly clicked on the file and lo and behold ~ I saw a photo of myself from 2009 in a promotional entry for Outsourcely.com.
Let me share with you the tech story behind that photo. It was taken by my good friend - and fellow blogger - Siege Malvar during the launch of Apple Snow Leopard operating system in the Philippines held at the Makati Shangrila Hotel last September 1, 2009. I remember I was so nervous during that time as it was one of the first events that I attended as a Pinoy technology blogger. * Now, that photo is making me feel nostalgic. * I launched TechPinas in November 28, 2008 and I feel blessed that from that day to that Apple event and until this very moment, I'm continuing to grow into this wonderful profession and I'm able to share what I learn about tech and gadgets with all of you guys. It's really been a great journey so far.
Anyway, for those who are wondering, Outsourcely.com is a job-matching website that saves entrepreneurs 70-80% per month in employee overhead by helping them find, hire and manage the most talented remote workers in the Philippines. Sounds great. And I really feel like this is a venture that I would want to support.
However, right now, I'm not sure if I should feel flattered that they chose my photo out of the millions of other shots that they could have gotten for that post or if I should charge them with my talent fee on top of royalties for use of that image that captures a memorable TechPinas moment. What do you think, TP Friends?
"Is this you?" he said in the note with an attached screen-capture of a sponsored post on FB.

I wasn't informed that the website has already gotten me as their image model. Haha. Essentially, they just got the shot from somewhere and used it on this Facebook post.
