Sell you’re Scoops for Money! January 26
An exciting opportunity for budding photo journalists has emerged in the form of a website which lets people showcase their images to prospective buyers and, hopefully, sell them.
ScoopLive has already reined in some 2,500 reporters in 60 different countries – and it has already helped broker big deals such as one for an image which ended up on the cover of Voici, an influential French magazine.
Users create a free account and then upload their visual media for buyers to peruse, with interesting items being offered for sale at fixed rates and bona fide exclusives being auctioned to the highest bidder. The user takes home up to 85 per cent of any final sale.
ScoopLive describes itself as a “market place whose goal is to improve relations between the general public and media professionals in the simplest manner”
Effectively the site represents a step beyond the likes of YouTube for active ‘citizen journalists’ – allowing the prospect of profitability as well as simple enjoyment.
