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! 🚀💼✨
