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!

To every poet in this network right now: THANK YOU!! 🙌🏾 You’ve taken the journey from poet to poetry business owner seriously — and because of your courage, commitment, and consistency, we are building something the poetry world has never seen before. You’ve shown up. You’ve grown. You’ve shifted your mindset from hobbyist to professional — and you’re doing it boldly and together. Together, we’ve created a global movement — and now, it’s about to level up. We’re currently at 742 members. Originally, we planned to keep PBN free until we hit 1,000...But this moment feels right. The momentum is strong. And tomorrow is August 1st. Here’s what happens when we lock it in: 💰 Every member becomes an official affiliate ➡️ That means every time you invite a new member, you’ll earn 25% of their monthly membership — every single month they stay. 📈 You’ll literally get paid just for sharing your experience in the network. 🧠 We’ll launch Live classes on topics YOU request🎤 Bring in expert guest teachers and facilitators 🎓 And transform PBN into a global campus that equips poets to win in business, life, and art. This shift will allow us to: • Expand coaching & training • Fund big events and resources • Launch new tools and programs • Unlock global opportunities for YOU Let’s finish strong. 📣 Call your poet fam. DM your open mic crew. Post the link in your group chat. 🎯 We’re 8 members away from making history — and making this movement sustainable for the long haul. YOU are the founders. The pioneers. The blueprint. So here’s the question: Should we close free access at 750? Meaning the next 8 poets to join would be the last to get in 100% free — for life. After that, new members would join under a monthly or annual membership (after a 7-day free trial). This will give them the opportunity to check out what we have to offer Drop your vote below: ✅ “YES — lock it at 750!” 🕐 “Wait until 1,000.”
