Share your poetry business name and explain why you chose it. House of Aquaires I can have many entities, My Pen Name Is Drago Aquaires since highschool I used it sign all my work with that name... Thus If I want certian criteria with certian names, making individuality out bring in more of a secluded experience for buyers. Also I can bring more poets into my business and have them use the last name...

Have anyone here in the network done any brand deals? Like it’s my desire to collaborate with brands that align with our mission. I’m curious with plenty questions.

Family, One thing about us — we will always adapt, learn, and pivot to make this community the best in the world for poets. In August, we tested out charging for access to the Poetry Business Network. What we discovered is important: 👉 Many poets still need to first learn why investing in themselves matters before they’re ready to opt in. 👉 A pay wall, right now, is a hindrance to our vision of expanding and welcoming more poets into this global movement. So here’s the pivot:✅ The Poetry Business Network (PBN) will remain free and open, so there are no barriers for poets to join, connect, and grow together.✅ The Poetry Business Institute (PBI) — our trade school — will soon require an investment to access the classes and certifications. IMPORTANT DATE: September 11, 2025 On that date, if you have not accessed the Institute, you will need to pay a one-time fee before you can enter. Until then, you have the rare chance to get in, start the classes, and lock in your free access. This pivot is about one thing: raising the value and standard of the knowledge and education we offer. 🎓 Why the Poetry Business Institute Matters When you join PBI, you’re not just “taking classes.” You’re stepping into a structured path that will: - Teach you how to transform from an individual poet into a poetry business owner - Show you how to launch your poetry business step-by-step - Help you audit and rebuild if you already have a business - Position you to build your brand nationally and internationally - Give you clarity on what services to offer and how to package them - Teach you how to create predictable income with your poetry - Walk you through creating, selling, and scaling your own merchandise - Guide you to define the signature experience you’ll be known for - Help you build your own platform that attracts opportunities to you - And ultimately, prepare you for paid gigs, partnerships, and placements through the PBN Partner Network 🔥 Action Steps Right Now
