How do i earn money by publishing poetry online?
I’ve been writing and publishing poetry for over 15 years, and I have to tell you, poetry is not about money. Very few people read poetry, and even fewer people _buy_ poetry. Any place on the internet that claims they’ll give you money for posting your poems is HIGHLY likely to be a scam. Read the fine print carefully before you agree to post your work anywhere. There are plenty of places online where you can post your poems — people even post their poems here on Yahoo Answers, in the Poetry section. Or you can get a Livejournal, Blogger, or Blogspot account and post your poems there. But “fast cash” and “poetry” really don’t belong in the same sentence. Honest. I am not trying to pee on your party here; I’ve been in the “poetry business” for a long time, have published in some prestigious places, and it is just not about money. There’s no money in poetry. Write poetry because you love to — that’s really the only satisfaction it brings. Good luck.
