If poetry is a passion of yours then there;'s likely a way to make money doing it, especially online.

What you need to do is determine who else is in the same market space and how can you differentiate your product or service from theirs.

Consider what your goals are in starting the poetry business. Do you plan to sell poems or perhaps help people learn to write poems themselves, or both? Once you narrow down your focus you can determine how best to make the money. Keep in mind that subscription fees and advertising space are great revenue streams for online businesses. Create a business plan, which includes a financial plan and let the creative juices flow!
