Get all the details first
My recent experience with Rated K has taught me a lot. One, is that you should always get all the details first before agreeing on anything, especially the remuneration, if there is anything involved. Because I thought this was something that is ‘automatic’ I never really asked about it, or I was too shy about it.
It was not really my concern at the start actually, but after getting my internet connection suspended, my finances suddenly became an issue to me. I was hoping I can get anything from it. But since it was something that was not really discussed, I guess I should not really expect anything.
Although I was advised by a friend that I have the right to ask since they will be earning from my story (yes, those ads are not cheap are they?) Unfortunately, I just do not have the courage to ask. And since I did not ask, I did not receive.
In fairness, I did get a little honorarium, which is enough to cover the income I lost from being absent for 3 days from work.
So there it is, before getting into anything, it won’t hurt to ask “What’s in it for me?”
