Weekly Social Media Challenge | Show Us Your Poetry In Action

Challenge: “Show Us Your Poetry In Action”

🎯 YOUR TASK: Record and post a video (60–90 seconds) of you delivering one of your poems — BUT this time, give a brief intro before the poem that explains:

Who this poem is for
What problem or feeling it addresses
Why you wrote it or why it matters to your audience

This is your chance to connect your art to your audience's need — and that’s the heart of a poetry business.

📲 INSTRUCTIONS:

Post your video to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or YouTube Shorts
Use the hashtag #PoetryBusinessChallenge and collab/tag @PoetryBusinessNetwork
Return to the network and drop the video link in the comments below this post
Watch and support at least 2 other poets who post

💡 Example Intro:

“This poem is for young Black men struggling with self-worth. I wrote it after mentoring teens who said they felt invisible. It’s called ‘Unseen Kings.’ Let me know what you think in the comments!”
