Shout out to @FoFeet UShairi Alkebulan for her amazing win! She was granted the opportunity to have her poetry book displayed and promoted on a huge billboard in Time Square in New York City. Let's celebrate her for this win/accomplishment. Fo Feet, share with us how that felt, what it means to you, and how it all happened... if you don't mind. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTdcyimkcSE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Family, It’s time to step into Module 3 of the Poetry Business Institute — where you move from being “a poet who performs” to a poetry business owner who provides services. Your poetry isn’t just a talent — it’s a tool that solves problems, teaches lessons, inspires audiences, and creates experiences. 🎯 This Week’s Prompt: Share your Menu of Services — the different ways you use poetry as a service or solution. You can use Canva to create a graphic. 🎥 Bonus: Record a 30–60 second reel where you walk us through your menu like a professional business owner. Start your video like this: “I’m [Your Name], founder of [Your Poetry Business], and here are 3 ways I serve through poetry…” 💡 Need Ideas? Here are some examples of poetry-based services to spark ideas: - Custom commissioned poems - Workshop facilitation or teaching residencies - Event hosting or performance bookings - Keynote storytelling or motivational speaking - Creative consulting for campaigns or organizations - Poetry in education, therapy, or community programs 📢 Post your service list below and on your social media. Tag @poetrybusinessnetwork and use: #PoetryBusinessInstitute #PoetryBusinessNetwork

We just created a brand new About/Landing Page banner for the Poetry Business Network and it’s 🔥🔥🔥 Check it out 👇! This banner was designed to excite, compel, and inform — especially for new poets visiting the site or hearing about the network for the first time. We want your feedback! 🧠 Does it clearly communicate the value? 📣 Would YOU stop and want to know more if you saw it? Also… 👉 Would you like a shareable version to post on your social media or send directly to a poet friend who needs to know about PBN? Drop your thoughts below 👇 And comment “Send me the shareable graphic!” if you want one!
