Each poet sooner or later begins to be interested in the issue of not only creative recognition, but also the material benefit from his own poems. Most poets know that it is very difficult to sell their poems today, just as it is difficult to publish and sell your own book. Indeed, making large sums of money through poetry is hardly possible, but you can try to sell your own poetry using several sources of income, which we will discuss in this article.
Instructions
Step 1
For an original work of authorship offered for sale, you are unlikely to be paid money. Accordingly, if you want to make money on your own creativity, be prepared to write custom poems that the client will require. Try to reach out to commercial organizations looking for poetry for greeting cards, holiday agencies, and the like.
Step 2
In order for a potential customer to be interested in you, publish your portfolio on the Internet. Use a popular portal to post your poems - for example, stihi.ru. Register and publish your most successful and interesting poems. You can provide a link to the portfolio to any employer.
Step 3
Don't sit in the shade - participate in a poetry competition, go to events where poets gather, perform at various poetry evenings where people read their poems. There is a chance that during such a speech you will be noticed.
Step 4
Register on portals for freelancers and remote workers, where it is easy to find potential customers, and where you can demonstrate your level and compete with competitors.
Step 5
Also, it will not be superfluous to register and place your portfolio directly on the portals where copywriters offer their copyright services. Submit yourself on such portals as a poet and an author, and perhaps customers will notice you. You can also track current and current vacancies and offer your services to customers.
Step 6
If your poems are really worthwhile, create your own website and pay attention to its promotion and promotion on the web. If you become a kind of brand, it will add value to your poetry. Promote your site in search engines, and also use contextual advertising for promotion.
Step 7
Find a company or firm that needs custom poems and offer your services. Often, poetic congratulations are required at various celebrations dedicated to birthdays and anniversaries of leaders, chiefs and directors of various organizations, and in such cases, employees of firms turn to copywriters.
Step 8
You can also offer your own songwriting services - some producers hire individual songwriters for this, and if you wish, try contacting an advertising agency with a proposal to compose poetic advertising slogans.
