DEWe are going to tell you 5 ways in which can make money through your poetry ✍🏽💰 Yes, writing poetry is one of the greatest skills that can help you generate an income. Read below 👇🏾
✨1. Write poems for other people’s loved ones.
Sometimes people want to dedicate a heartfelt poem to their loved ones on special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, or even at a funeral. Since they don’t have the skills of a gifted poet, they often look for poets they can commission for this. You could offer your poetry writing services to these people and make money with it.
Popular websites that you can use are Fiverr.com to sell your poems and make someone happy 😃
✨2. Submit your poem to a poetry competition.
There are many poetry competitions that offer cash prizes to the winners. With a small entry fee as an investment, you can give your poetry a shot at winning a big prize. Not only will this bring you money, but also recognition and prestige.
Competitions like Wingword Poetry Prize, Arts University Bournemouth’s International Poetry Prize, Montreal Poetry Prize are very popular among beginners in poetry.
✨3. Learn to perform your poem on stage and win Slam Competitions.
If you have a good poem and are a confident stage performer, you can combine these skills to create electrifying spoken word poems that could be performed at your local slam competition where you can win cash prizes 😊
✨4. Selling your chapbook
While putting together a big manuscript and finding a publisher can be challenging, it’s easy to put 10 of your best poems into a chapbook and self-publish it. You can promote your chapbook among friends and family and also sell it through your social media.
✨5. Write a poem on a trending topic and record it for YouTube.
If your videos get views on YouTube, you could make a lot of money from it 💵💰 So choose topics that are trending and are relevant to the times, record and upload the video of your poem on YouTube and let it do its magic.
