Poets, we love the creativity and passion you bring to the Poetry Business Network, but we want to kindly remind everyone that this space is for building the business side of poetry—not for sharing poems. We want to make sure the information is easily searchable and not overshadowed. Instead of posting poetry here, we encourage you to first: ✅ Protect Your Work – Copyright your poetry to safeguard your intellectual property before posting online. ✅ Document Your Writing Process – Keep track of your creative journey to strengthen your portfolio. ✅ Promote Strategically – Share your poetry on your social media platforms to grow your audience. Our goal is to keep this space focused on business strategies, answering burning questions, and growth so that your poetry doesn’t just get seen—it gets valued. Let’s stay aligned with our mission and help each other monetize our craft! Thank you for being part of this movement and thank you for understanding! 🚀💼✨

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!
