The basic idea of earning from your blog no matter what niche it is to invest is your time and creative energy, specially if you don’t want to spend your money, but in this case put in mind that time is not free, time equals money, so don’t believe someone says that you can make money from “nothing”, money can not be created from “nothing” the same like energy, you can not create energy from nothing, however you can make money from blogging about “nothing”!
So many people still wondering how to make money blogging in different niches, and maybe this leads to the importance of our blogging niche as Famous Bloggers blog is about helping people to understand ways of making money from blogging, and give them an honest advice with no fakes.
So, the first advice is not to rush things and speed up the process of monetizing your blog, it should be the last thing you will do and after some other important steps that will determine wither your blog is ready to be monetized or it still need more work before it can bring real profit streams.
The process of making profit has easy steps, each of these steps it not so complicated if we look into each step as standalone, but it takes time and effort to be fully understandable by you, so I am amusing that no body can get the whole idea from reading a simple blog post, or even tens of articles, so . The better understanding will come after practicing your blogging way.
Steps of making profitable poem blog as I see it:
1- Make sure you are using the right Blogging Tools
I highly recommend that you get your own domain name, get Wordpress installed to your server, this is the case if you want to grow your blog in the future and a voied moving it to another server, this will save you hard work, time and probably money. Find the best recommended plugins and a clean good looking theme, submit your domain to search engines. Make sure you have the necessary pages that people look for when they first visit your blog like “about & contact me” pages, spend some time reading our Blogging for Money Guide before you start, it’s simple and will help you to better understand exactly how to do it.
2- Publish your Poems to your blog
In this step I assume you have wrote some great poems of your own, get them up to the blog, make sure they are not published elsewhere, I recommend you publish at least 10 unique posts.
3- Spice your poem blog
One cool idea is to make a category or section for poetry gifts and greeting cards, and believe me people love it, specially if you updating it with fresh and unique cards, they will come often to get your gifts and cards, and search engines will be crazy for your blog if you add discretion and tags for card images!
4- Build a community around your blog
This is one of the real challenges that you have to pass to make a successful blog that has loyal readers, Actually you don’t to have a blog to start this step, you can always do it from the first day of your blogging to earn some time while you are getting your blog ready, I mean even it’s not in it’s best shape yet! people like it so much when you interact with them, people like it more when you visit their blogs and tell them what you think about their blogs and give some opinions and advices. Talk about what you like, it’s not basic thing to visit only other poem blogs, you can do the same thing by talking about something else! Think of it like you are promoting your self not your blog, you are gaining more friends, not blog readers!
It’s also a very nice idea to create a group for your blog on one of the social networking websites and start to invite your friends. Try to help people so people will return the favor one day to you! Just do it and don’t wait for anyone to visit you back, I am sure they will do with out you have to ask, the secret is “be nice to people”!
5- promote your blog through poetry contest
From my personal experience with blog contests, I recommend it for you specially if you just started your blog and you want to get the word out and tell people that your blog exists, plan it well and have good prizes to get the attention, and start to promote your blog through it. If you didn’t run a contest before and you don’t know how it works, contact us and we will be happy to guide you.
Now we can talk about monetizing your poem blog!
Each step above will take time on your blogging project’s time line, so be a ware that you will not earn from the day zero of blogging, but you will clearly see the difference after you are done with each step, as you are adding a value to your blog as time pass!
So, after you have done a great work by following the steps above, you need think! Open your blog in your browser, relax in your seat, and look to your blog and see the difference that you have made, and now we can talk about monetizing your poem blog! Now you can enter to the Making Money Online world, and there is so many ways to do it! But this is not actually the topic today!

I like the way you say that money cannot be created from “nothing” however you can make money from blogging about “nothing”!. I agree with that we need effort to have money. I think you’re a good poetry.

I have a writing blog, but limit my work there since what Rose has said has been echoed for some time from others in the field. It is a good way to practice and get critiqued for work one doesn’t plan to submit to others or if one is just writing for fun. Then again, if one is looking to make a little side money writing specialty cards or poems for clients this is all good advice.
Lots of information to take in. Thanks, guys!

Actually Rose gives some good information here! an of course there is a big difference between writing just for fun and writing for profit!
You know Anne! (a way from our main topic) I sometimes think that writing for fun is not fun at all, maybe because I think that people should pay attention to the future! sometimes we do things for fun and after a few months we discover that this is the best thing we could ever done and could succeed in, and then we would love to take it to a profession levels, I think we should plan any simple thing we do, even planning our fun time, maybe it’s our most lucky idea in life and we just don’t know yet!
It’s great to hear your opinion, thanks.

With regards to publishing your poems on your blog:
Please don’t think I’m criticizing you.
As a poet who has been writing poetry for over 25 years and the admin of a writing community I need to say something that you most likely did not know.
I think is important anyone reading this know:
In some cases, magazines will consider a poem posted on your blog to be already published. Therefore, the poet will not be able to claim first rights to it and most magazines, newspapers, etc. will not accept it as a submission. This will differ from publisher to publisher, and it is a very Gray area. I suggest if you are submitting work to a publisher that has already appeared on your blog, mention in the cover letter the forums or blog where the poem has been posted and let the editor make an informed decision.
Also by publishing your poetry on your blog you take a greater risk of plagiarism because of how easily it can be accessed.
Be careful! Limit what you do share in way of poetry!

Adding such a valuable comment is absolutely not criticizing as much it’s an add to our post here! There is no perfect blog post, otherwise we don’t need a comment section! but this post is an answer to a person contacted me asking about how to make profit from her poet blog!
I see in your comment a good advice for any one who wants to publish poem to a blog! I wish it was included in my post body
Anyways, I think poets like any other production should be copyrighted in the right place before getting them to be published online! and this is the job of the writer of this poet not to lose the rights of his work!
And one thing I want you advice about it…
Do you think it’s going to work better if someone published some short paragraphs or parts from his/ her original work to a blog as one way to promote it online, then he/she can create a digital version of the complete work “e-book” and offer download for a reasonable price and add it to book stores can work?

If you’re asking my advice, I think it’s best to maybe post one or two poems as samples then publish a bunch in an ebook for download.
