You could try contacting publishing companies who publish poetry and try and get yours included. However, I haven't the slightest idea how you would do this. Alternatively, you could set up a free website, and give a preview of your poetry, and then sell like a book full of them for like 5 bucks. I'm sure somebody would buy it.

I think you should pick up Poets Market or Writer's Market. They have info about magazines and contests that pay for poetry they accept and publish. Or you can do a web search of sites that pay for poetry submissions. Poetry books are hard to sell, I am working on that right now.

I have heard of one site. Its everydaypoets I believe they pay a dollar a poem if the poem is accepted. It is small and it takes some time but its an option.

If you just want a simple way to publish your poems online and make a little money doing it, try one of the paid-to-publish sites on the Internet. I personally use Triond to publish my poetry, and I make a few dollars per month from it. You won't get rich but you will have an audience and a little pay. Other sites include Helium and Associated Content, but I don't know their policies on poetry as I don't use them. Good luck!
