A site that pays great money for poems

I've found a site that pays $300 for poems which are suitable as a card verse and for this you are giving them worldwide rights and they pay $50 if they use the poem as a once off. They are a publishing company and have been established for thirty five years so they should be reliable. If you write poems anyway you've got nothing to lose by e mailing them some of your work. If anyone would like the details of the site then please add me as a friend and I'll forward it as I'm not allowed to post links on here. I don't work for the site or have any relationship with them but I found it earlier and thought the information would be useful to someone.

Wow! It is great to know that poetry is still alive and what people like me, whose first language is not English can do. I have written many books of poetry and my poems are also selected by the Canadian Federation of Poets. At times I may not meet the standards of language of English as the First Language. I wonder if we can have something that one writes poem and someone edits it. The poet and editor can go together and share the revenue even to 50:50 as it can promote the literary world of poetry worldwide. Anyone please, it is aim of MyLot, is not it. Thanks!

Well, it seems that my saying that writers, whose English is good can help other ones with 50:50 seems bit odd, I did not exactly mean it, what I mean is that we can be friends in our works-read,correct and comment way. May I hope that I get a reply for this request. Thanks!

If you are referring to the company I think you are referring to, they are VERY particular about the poems they publish. Definitely, if anyone is considering it, go to a store (Hallmark carries a lot of their cards) and read what they are selling. Strive for that style, for that kind of sentiment. And definitely don't rush the process. Put some feelers out, let other people read the poems and tell you, honestly, if they think they'd buy that for whatever occasion you chose to write about. And don't just ask two or three people, ask twenty or thirty if you can. The more feedback the better because they are really picky. They kind of have to be, because like Jane said, they've been around for 35 years, they have a reputation in the industry.

Well i have a better deal. It's not exactly poetry or writing an article but it's much simpler than that. i have earned 50$ in a 3days ( not in this week though as i was busy) and i spent only 3 hours. I feel my technique is little new to members here and some may feel indifferent about the technique i use. anyone interested contact me. The beauty of my technique is this method never gets diluted and the more the people know this the more people can earn. Whatever i have said is 100 percent true as i have been doing this for more than one year. All you guys have to do is contact me via message in mylot and drop in your mail id id and your messenger id so that i can explain my technique. This is technique is works even better with people who live in U.S,Canada,U.K, Europe and australia. This doesn't mean it won't with Asians but it works a lot slower in their case.

Is this offer available worldwide? For instance, I live in the UK and don't know if it's available there.

I write poetry and the amount that you mention just seems way too good to be true. Surely you can put just the name of the company in your post and not a link to it. I'd like to know more about it and I think that a lot of other people would to. So surely it would be better to put it on here rather then you having to return lots of lots of messages.

I write poetry, too, and have never stumbled across a site that would pay that much. I think I recall blue mountain paying some sort of fee but I don't remember how much they offer for publishing rights.
