How to earn money from my poems online?

think the main thing you need to consider is who are you aiming your poetry at. I believe there are several ways to sell poetry but it requires being creative.

Create yourself as a brand and market yourself as a poet. You could even blog about how you ideas for poetry, methods for writing poetry and past poets. This might be of interest to people and once you have a blog that is attractive to potential customers they may be more inclined to want to buy the poetry. So put yourself out there as a poet and start trying to sell. It might help to do a bit of research on the best way of reaching an audience and then helping make them aware of you.

Collaborate. You can sell poetry as it is or you could write your poetry for handmade cards, special occasions and you could even work with an illustrator. They could create images to go along with the poetry. It can be idfficult to sell Words on their own because we live in a world where writing is becoming less and less valued, however it doesn’t mean that it isn’t still appreciated by those who receive it. People really appreciate quotes that tell a bit of truth about life. It depends what your poetry is about and the themes you generally write about. You can sell things that you have made on Etsy.

Create chapbooks. You can even find a bookbinder to create a few handmade chapbooks or get them printed with the help of a graphic designer. It depends how much money you have. I can think of at least one small press that focuses on the Words of the poetry as opposed to having grand looking books and it works because the poems are really interesting and different. You can even learn how to create books yourself which will mean you just need the materials.

Get really creative. You could invite people to sign up to a poetry subscription service where you sell them a poem every (for example) month. Just be careful of how you are sending your poetry as it is easy for people to just copy and paste and then there is less of a reason for them to buy. You can upload poetry as an image but also if people are sharing the poetry you may be more likely to get an audience.
