Thanks for the tips. I will give it a try. I am not the smartest person when it comes to computer lingo. So i will have my wife do that stuff and i will just write.
Thanks again

I think promote poetry would be equally beneficial via blog or you tube, both have emerged as the choice of the masses and can give us a better chance to show our work in front of the people and poetry lovers.

Sa, certainly feel free to do that if you wish. Most poets don’t make any money from publishing poetry. Reputable journals exist to do just as you are suggesting, to give the poet a readership. The pay is usually a copy of the journal in which a poem is published. The above suggestions are for poets who want to be published in those journals, which is a badge of prestige for most of us. If you just want to be read and you don’t care about the feelings of honor that come with being recognized by editors in control of the production process then you can go that route too. Many poets have.

How bout if you don’t want to market it per se, so as not to make money off it, but just to get people to read?

Sas last blog post..Are you real?

Well, Elena, good question. There are still some journals that will publish poetry that you have published on your personal blog. You'll have to read their guidelines. I would start with the latest edition of Poet's Marketing. You can also check out New Pages. They have a list of online publications and you can visit their websites. They should all have their guidelines on their website somewhere. Look for journals and magazines, both online and in print, that state specifically that they will accept poems that have been published on your personal blog. Otherwise, assume that they don't. You can download the World Class Poetry Toolbar and access several online journals for free with a single click. Of course, you can always publish your own chapbook and attend poetry readings. People at those events will buy your chapbook if they like your poetry.

Thanks for the comment Pat. Yes, YouTube and MySpace are fabulous places to pick up readers, but I’m finding Facebook to be even better than MySpace.

youtube and myspace are really great places to connect with potential readers. my “potential readers” were in my friends list before I even knew about getting published though
