Serious bloggers can now add to their revenue by signing up to ScooptWords, a syndication service that sells blog editorials to publishers.

When a blogger signs up to ScooptWors, he or she can add a ScooptWords button to the blog that says, "Buy this content".

If an editor sees something he likes, he simply clicks on the button to pay for the piece. As soon as service is confirmed, the publications can copy, paste, and print the blog. ScooptWords even deals with the price negotiation.

For a limited time, bloggers will receive 75% of all sales, although after the promotional period this will drop to 50% of first sales and 75% of the sales thereafter.

Scoopt launched last year as a picture agency to let citizen journalists sell images to the media.

Now it's set to do the same with words.
