Now you can make money online writing poetry. Self-publication no longer has the negative stigma it had in the past. In fact, publishing houses are starting to feel the pressure because so many authors are having success publishing there own books. The Internet is a wonderful invention that anyone can use to promote whatever product they want.

You can earn as much as $200 on published poems. They accept up to five poems (but all in one document) that are unpublished, 100 lines or less and are either double-spaced or singled spaced. However, response time ranges from two days to two months, no simultaneous submissions and emails are not accepted (send via mail instead).

There are a number of publications that organize annual or seasonal poetry contests, like Saturnalia Books, Poetry Nation, and Breakwater. Granted, winning a poetry contest is no easy feat, but winners can earn anywhere from $500 to $2,000 or more for their efforts.
Consider writing poetry one way to earn an income as a freelance writer. But you can actually get paid to write poetry? I’ve written poetry for a long list of publications, and ultimately published a book of poetry. It’s not the only way I make a living writing, but submitting poems for money is certainly one of my income.

A poet’s Success Story

I read an interesting article in the UK’s Guardian newspaper last week.

It was all about a new breed of poets who are publishing their work using the photo-sharing service Instagram (and others).

Some of these writers are attracting huge numbers of followers,

which in turn has led to publishing deals, media appearances, and so on.

The article focuses especially on one of these poets, Thailand-born Lang Leav. It says:

In 2013,Lang Leavself-published a small debut poetry collection, Love & Misadventure, online. Two years later, she was meeting her fans on a book tour in the Philippines. “It was insane,” she says.

“The organizers had to limit each signing to 500 people per session … and I was being escorted by armed guards.”

Many queued for hours, some camping out overnight for a chance to meet her.

Leav is one of a new generation of bestselling poets catapulted to celebrity – and coveted book deals – through the use of social media, and the huge followings they have built up.

Dubbed the “Instapoets”, they have thousands upon thousands of followers hooked on their every post across Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter – and they defy the age-old preconception that it is not possible to make a living out of being a poet.

As someone who once wrote (not especially good) poetry and performed it for a token fee (or nothing) in pubs and arts centers,

I was intrigued by this development, which I hadn’t heard about before.

And at last, I had an answer to the question of what is Instagram for 😉

Just for fun,

I dug out one of my old poems and turned it into an Instagram-style photo using the online PicMonkey service.

It’s posted above, although I’m not sure I shall be joining Lang Leav at one of her book signings any time soon!

But certainly,

if I was a young poet starting out today, this is an avenue I would want to explore.

What is Instapoetry?

Instapoetry can be defined as posting short poetry snippets online to an audience mainly on social media.

One writer in particular made it big on Instagram after being rejected by 137 publishers:

How to become an Instapoet

In case any of you are interested, here are a few more tips for aspiring Instagram poets drawn from the Guardian article and elsewhere:

1. Post Your poetry on Instagram

Poems can take any form you choose but for this medium,

it’s best to keep them short.

Some Instagram poets specialize in haiku and have achieved large followings creating these pithy, 17-syllable poems.

So how do you actually post your poetry on Instagram:

If your poem is short enough you can download an app like Phonto to paste your poem over an image. If you have a long poem, then it’s best to paste it in the image caption.
Once you have your poem ready, be sure to add in hashtags before you share it.

Instagram poetry apps

Get inspired by other poets. You can find some new angles in implementing your creativity just by studying others.

With that said,

I found some cool apps you can download right now to find inspiration:

Poemhunter
PillowThoughts
Poetizer
Wings (for your soul)
Poetry Magazine

Granted, these apps are from Apple’s App Store. So, I’m not sure if they will be available in the Google play store.

Also, You might want to download Grammarly since it’s free and helps you avoid grammatical errors in your text

Grammar and spelling checks
Conciseness and readability
Vocabulary enhancement
Plagiarism detector

2.Instagram poetry hashtags

Use hashtags to help get your work noticed. These are (of course) words or short phrases following a hash symbol.

Two that are commonly used for this purpose are #instapoetry and #instagrampoetry. A few more popular hashtags you can utilize:

#poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #instapoetry #poetryofinstagram #poetryporn #urdupoetry #poetrylovers #bymepoetry #poetrygram #igpoetry #poetryofig #poetryinmotion #poetrysociety #poetryslam #hindipoetry #micropoetry #poetryislife #lovepoetry #selfpoetry #urdupoetrylovers #omypoetry #sadpoetry #visualpoetry #poetrylove #poetrybook #poetryislove #artlixirpoetry #randompoetry #inkedpoetry

3. Experiment with different colors and backgrounds

There is lots of scope for being creative here.

A three-line poem on being emotional by Rupi Kaur. Furthermore, another of her work can be found in the Guardian article is accompanied by a hand-drawn illustration of a globe, with countries hit by terror attacks marked with little black hearts.

Get creative and be different.

You’ve already portrayed your thoughts into writing. Now, you just have to paint the picture.

4. Share on other social media platforms

It’s not just Instagram.

You can also post your poems on other social media platforms, including Pinterest, Twitter, (of course) Facebook, and many more.

Also, join communities and forums to share your work and collaborate with others.

Forums like
