How to Make Money Online Writing Poetry

Instructions
1
Populate your poetry blog or website
with advertising. Services such as
Google Adsense will provide you with
ads and a portion of the revenue when
each ad is clicked. Online retailers such
as Amazon.com will pay you a portion of
the revenue from goods sold to a user
who has clicked an ad on your site.
Drive traffic to your pages by
maintaining an active online presence,
adding new poetry to your blog or
website on a regular basis and
promoting your work on social
networking sites.
2
Solicit website advertising from local
businesses for a flat fee. Gain a local
following by participating in spoken
word events and poetry jams. Promote
your site by gathering names for an
email list, sending out regular
newsletters and tracking the number of
visits to your site. Once you can
demonstrate your online poetry has an
audience, approach local businesses
such as small bookstores to pay a
monthly fee to have an ad on your site.
3
Publish pieces of poetry on revenue-
share websites. These sites include
Hubpages and Squidoo, which pay
writers a portion of the revenue earned
from each post. Depending on which
revenue-sharing site you choose, you
may have to place your poetry within
the context of an article or otherwise
tailor your work to the demands of the
platform.
4
Submit your poetry to online magazines,
also called zines. If your work is
accepted for publication you may
receive payment depending on the
editorial policy of each zine. Many zines
also run poetry and fiction contests,
which may require an entry fee but
offer a sizable prize to the winning
entry.
5
Submit your poetry electronically for
publication in print magazines and
journals. Your poetry may not end up
online through this method, but if it
ends up in print you'll have used your
online savvy to reach the publishers
willing to pay you for your product.
