We've already looked at Fiverr as a way of making money from your creative abilities, but if you have a particular flair for poetry, there may be a more lucrative way of selling your creations. If you're truly dynamic, interesting and insightful, there's a company out there who are prepared to offer serious money to use your work.
Blue Mountain Arts release both greeting cards and books, and they constantly accept submissions from anybody who thinks they're good enough to make one. If you have the talent, and you're chosen, they pay up to $300 per poem for rights to use it on greeting cards. If they select it for one off publication in a book, that's a fee of $50. You don't need to be great at math to work out how quickly that can build up. If that doesn't inspire some poetry out of you, nothing will!
