ScooptWords : Sell Blog Content to Newspapers and Magazines

Earlier you recall Blogburst, Topix and Newsgator launched ways to promote your content to top publishers. Now ScooptWords is another paid service launched in association with Creative Commons to sell your blog content to newpapers and magazines.

ScooptWords is launched by Scoopt which set up the world’s first commercial citizen journalism photography agency that sells newsworthy photographs taken by members of the public to the world’s press.

Creative Commons and ScooptWords have joined to protect your copyright content. Creative Commons allows you to specify how your work can be used non-commercially, while ScooptWords helps you sell it commercially. They have also tied up with NightCap Syndication that offers an excellent opportunity to expose your quality blog content to editors who want to pay for it.

They will license your blog content on the basis of one-time-only use in a single publication within a single territory. And in this era of plagiarism, as long as the ScooptWords button is on your blog, they will aggressively protect your content.

You sign up and put a ScooptWords button on your blog, editors click to buy content. They negotiate the price on your behalf. Their commission is 50% for the first sale and 25% for subsequent sales. And you get paid by paypal. Welcome to the world of commercial citizen journalism…
