📌 Welcome to the Poetry Business Institute (PBI). Whether you’re joining for the first time or you’ve been with us for a while, we’re glad you’re here. PBI is a global institution built for poets; created to educate, train, and equip poets to create income and build sustainable careers with clarity and confidence. You don’t need to rush. You don’t need to prove anything. You belong here at your own pace. 🏛️ What the Poetry Business Institute Is The Poetry Business Institute (PBI) is a global trade school and learning institution for poets. It exists because poets are the only creative group without a clear, shared infrastructure for turning their craft into sustainable careers. PBI was built to provide that structure. Inside the Institute: - Everyone enters as a Student Poet - Experience levels vary, posture stays the same - Growth is recognized quietly - Leadership is entrusted intentionally Poetry is the center. However, other creatives may join, because the information is transferable. 🌍 How PBI Connects to the Poetry Business Network (PBN) The Poetry Business Network (PBN) is the broader global community and marketplace for poets. - PBI focuses on education, preparation, and skill-building - PBN focuses on connection, collaboration, and opportunity circulation All members—Free, Premium, and VIP—are encouraged to join, explore, and participate in the Network. 👉 Learn more or join PBN at PoetryBusinessNetwork.com 🧭 How to Navigate the Institute (Important) This is an institution, not a social feed.

To everyone who joined us for the Global Meet-Up & Graduation — thank you! Thank you for showing up, for leaning in, for sharing your energy, your honesty, your wins/lessons/goals, and your commitment to your growth as poets and poetry business owners. The room was powerful because you were in it. Watching you reflect on your journey, celebrate milestones, and step boldly into what’s next was truly special. This community continues to prove that when poets come together with intention, accountability, and vision, real transformation happens. To those who weren’t able to attend live — you were missed, and you’re still very much a part of this moment. Please take some time to watch the attached recording when you can. The insights, encouragement, and clarity shared will absolutely support you as you move forward. As we prepare to close out this year and look ahead, know this: You are not behind. You are not alone. And your poetry has a future. Thank you for being part of this community and this movement. Onward, upward, and into what’s next. ✨✍🏽 With gratitude, Christoph The Poet Life | Poetry Business Network

Share your poetry business name and explain why you chose it. House of Aquaires I can have many entities, My Pen Name Is Drago Aquaires since highschool I used it sign all my work with that name... Thus If I want certian criteria with certian names, making individuality out bring in more of a secluded experience for buyers. Also I can bring more poets into my business and have them use the last name...

Have anyone here in the network done any brand deals? Like it’s my desire to collaborate with brands that align with our mission. I’m curious with plenty questions.
