📢 ANNOUNCEMENT: PBN & PBI IS PIVOTING ONCE AGAIN 🚀

Christoph Jenkins

26d • Poetry Business Institute

Family,

One thing about us — we will always adapt, learn, and pivot to make this community the best in the world for poets.

In August, we tested out charging for access to the Poetry Business Network. What we discovered is important:

👉 Many poets still need to first learn why investing in themselves matters before they’re ready to opt in.

👉 A pay wall, right now, is a hindrance to our vision of expanding and welcoming more poets into this global movement.

So here’s the pivot:✅ The Poetry Business Network (PBN) will remain free and open, so there are no barriers for poets to join, connect, and grow together.✅ The Poetry Business Institute (PBI) — our trade school — will soon require an investment to access the classes and certifications.

IMPORTANT DATE: September 11, 2025

On that date, if you have not accessed the Institute, you will need to pay a one-time fee before you can enter.

Until then, you have the rare chance to get in, start the classes, and lock in your free access.

This pivot is about one thing: raising the value and standard of the knowledge and education we offer.

🎓 Why the Poetry Business Institute Matters

When you join PBI, you’re not just “taking classes.” You’re stepping into a structured path that will:

Teach you how to transform from an individual poet into a poetry business owner
Show you how to launch your poetry business step-by-step
Help you audit and rebuild if you already have a business
Position you to build your brand nationally and internationally
Give you clarity on what services to offer and how to package them
Teach you how to create predictable income with your poetry
Walk you through creating, selling, and scaling your own merchandise
Guide you to define the signature experience you’ll be known for
Help you build your own platform that attracts opportunities to you
And ultimately, prepare you for paid gigs, partnerships, and placements through the PBN Partner Network

🔥 Action Steps Right Now

If you haven’t yet, log into the Classroom and start the Poetry Business Accelerator (Track 1) TODAY.
Appreciate the free access while it lasts. Don’t wait until after September 11th when there’s a fee.
Share this with your poet friends — tell them they can now join the network for FREE.

We’re growing. We’re raising the bar. We’re making history together.

Let’s go! 🚀
