GET PAID FOR YOUR POEMS
A poet is someone who possess special powers of imagination or expression, a person who writes poems.
A lot of poets could barely earn from their poems, some would give up because they're not being able to sign a writing contract with any of the magazine companies.
Most poets' main source of writing income is whatever they produce in their day jobs. But while you may not be able to make a full living writing poetry, you can make some supplemental income by selling your poems and through other activities.
What you should expect as your pay per poem is from $1.50 to $300 which is nothing compared to copywriting.
I'll provide you with the simplest way to start making money as a poet.
There are companies that pay you just to write poems for their publishing.
