Poetry on the Internet is a hard field to break into. It is not impossible but it is not easy either. There are many sites that will accept your poetry. The problem is finding the best places to submit your poetry so you can make money. Here is a basic guideline for that.
Watch out for scams. Poetry is one genre of writing that gets scammed a lot. You have to be very careful. The first thing to be leery of is paying. Never pay to get your poetry published. Always ask about submission copyrights. Be careful to never publish to a site that requires exclusive rights. Now that you know that, here are some ideas of places that you can get your poetry published.
Social bookmarking sites are a great place to begin publishing your poetry. Many of them pay you for each person that clicks on your poem. That can add up over time. Just remember to publish your poetry as non-exclusive. That way you can place those poems in a book someday when you are ready.
Create a blog that showcases your poems. This can really help you to get noticed. Publishers will check your site if you have this sort of thing. If you choose to not publish your poetry on a social bookmarking site, then make sure to have them on your own site. A blog is a great way to do that. It costs nothing and offers you a chance to be seen. Place this link on your business card. Share that card with those who work in the publishing industry.
One person was able to find success in publishing their poetry by sending one of these business cards in an envelope with an audio recording of their poetry on tape to a publisher. They loved her work and published her poetry. That sort of thing can work very well for some. Just make sure that anything that you send to a publisher is typed and not handwritten. Keep your submissions professional so the publishers take you serious. These publishers can be found in writing magazines and on sites that focus on publication of poetry.
The best places to submit your poetry are those that match your work. Start today to promote your poetry. You can get published if you start now. Make sure and be careful of scams and you should be fine.
