ScooptWords: Scoopt agency now selling blog content
Scoopt, the world's first commercial citizen journalism photography agency, has just launched ScooptWords, a "word version" for bloggers and editors. [via Jeremy Wagstaff's LOOSE wire blog]
Bloggers simply add a button on their blog and editors can click to buy content they want to print and bloggers want to sell.
For Editors, ScooptWords offers an easy way to license blog content without having to deal directly with bloggers who may be in different time zones, may use different currencies, and who may not understand about licensing and copyright. With ScooptWords, you can access the entire blogosphere through just one agency.
In their own words:
We are now launching ScooptWords to offer the same deal to bloggers. We strongly believe that many bloggers produce content as good as or better than what already appears in newspapers and magazines. But they're not getting published and they're not getting paid. We aim to change all that.
So, when you sign up to join Scoopt you can send us your newsworthy pictures and videos, as well as your blog details. It's all part of the same bigger picture: if you create something of value, whether it's a photograph or a blog post, we can help you find a commercial market for it.
