Family, Let’s be real for a second… how many people actually know you’re a poet? Here’s the truth: if strangers, friends, and family can see that you’re a poet before you even speak, you instantly create opportunities for connection, conversation, and even performance. That’s why we’re launching our brand-new campaign: “Who Knows You’re A Poet?” The Poet Life Shop is here to make sure people know you’re a poet—without you even having to open your mouth. From what you wear to how you ride, your presence can make a statement. 🔥 And now, introducing the newest way to rep: the Poet Life License Plate Frame! You can choose: - “I’m Living The Poet Life” (bold and unapologetic) - OR customize it with your social media handle + The Poet Life (so people know where to find you). This is more than a license plate frame—it’s branding on wheels. It tells the world, I am a poet, and I take my gift seriously. ➡️ Who’s ready to let the world know? Follow @Joshua Clark's lead and get yours TODAY! Drop a comment if you want one!

Poetry Family, This Monday, we take the Poetry Business Network to a whole new level! Introducing the Poetry Business Institute (PBI) — the official trade school for poets inside PBN. This is where we transform from people with poems into certified Poetry Business Owners ready for the global stage. What’s Changing?

Why This Matters - We’re raising the global standard for poets in business. - Certified PBN Poets will stand out to our partner network of schools, corporations, and organizations. - This isn’t just learning — it’s action, content creation, and community accountability. When It Starts 📅 This Monday — we ALL start together, no matter how long you’ve been here. We’ll be at the starting line as ONE global community, moving forward with a shared vision. Get ready to: ✅ Refresh your mindset ✅ Build your brand ✅ Document your journey ✅ Step into opportunities that match your talent 💬 Drop “READY” in the comments if you’re locking in with us Monday! Let’s make history together.

Poets, we’ve been building something special — and now, it’s time to shift into the next level. Starting tomorrow, this is what the Poetry Business Network will look like — and poets will be excited to get in. Why? Because this network will become the go-to space for poets who are serious about building a career with their craft. Here’s what’s coming: ✅ Live classes on topics YOU request ✅ Guest facilitators and expert sessions ✅ Access to the full replay & training library ✅ Priority access to events, contests, and retreats ✅ Poetry Business tools, templates, and exclusive resources ✅ Chapter meetups (local + virtual) for deeper community support ✅ AND… Affiliate Status that PAYS. 🎉 I’m bumping the Affiliate Fee from 25% to 50%! Yes, you read that right! For every new member you refer, you’ll now earn half of their membership fee — every single month they stay. Because this is our movement. We’re building this together, and I want you to grow with it — and profit from it. 💥 And there’s more… Skool (our platform) is launching its Go Live feature — so soon, I'll be able to go live right here inside the network. No more Zoom links. No more outside platforms. All of our classes, meet-ups, and trainings will happen right here in our community space. This isn’t just a network. It’s becoming a creative campus, a global marketplace, and a launchpad for poetry business owners. Let’s welcome the new era of PBN with open arms and bold action. Get ready — because starting tomorrow, it’s ON.

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.”
