We will not sell you lies and fairy-tales as many other companies often do, Realistic Poetry International firmly believes in honesty and trust. So you may ask, what's the catch? This sounds too good to be true, right? Well, in order to participate in this incredible opportunity, you must support at least one other persons work. It is critical that we ignite a strong cycle of support for one another in order to create a more thriving, successful, poetry community. The more poets you support, the better for you and also everyone else! Showing support is easy. You can show your support by simply liking, sharing, or providing feedback to another poet’s poem. We also ask that you share this opportunity with other poets so all writers may hear about the good news! That is all.
We will not be publishing any poem posted on this page of realisticpoetry.com. You will maintain all rights to your work. This includes copyrights and trademarks. We will not store your poem anywhere else with the exception of this page. There is no cost necessary to post your poem. You are allowed to post a poem that has been previously published. This is about you, not us, so do not feel obligated to do anything else on realisticpoetry.com beyond posting your poem. This is strictly a great opportunity for poets with no strings attached. If you would like, feel free to explore and visit other pages on the site to find out more about support, poetry, publishing, and many other beneficial features! We cannot make you rich but we can definitely contribute time, support, and honesty, plus, 5% of select Realistic Poetry book sales and other sold Realistic Poetry trademarked products. We truly do hope that we will inspire and uplift poetry and poets from all around the globe!
How Much Can you Make?
We are a small family-owned company and we work very hard for every dollar that we earn. Making money with poetry has been a challenge, but it is definitely possible. Timing, hard work, persistence, and consistency are key factors in any poet’s success. With us being poets, we do understand how challenging it can be to make money while doing what you love. We also know that it can be just as difficult to receive honest and thorough feedback on your work. So, with that being said, we are here to help! We have pledged to donate 5% of our own earned proceeds to this poetry cause. The current status of the Realistic Poetry contribution fund begins at $500.00 and will be replenished with an additional $500.00 every time it is depleted.
To ensure every poet has a fair chance to earn money, payouts will begin at $1.00 for each selected poem posted. The date of payouts will always be visible at the top of the page so you can keep track of when payouts occur and how much more time you have until the next payout begins. There is no limit to how many poems will be selected. There will be a minimum of 5 poems chosen. A maximum of 200 poems are eligible to be picked in one payout cycle. That means in one payout cycle each one of your poems would be eligible to win $1.00 out of $200.00. The more poems you submit, the more money you can win out of the $200.00.
A poem selected for payout in one given cycle will NOT be eligible for a second payout in any other payout cycle. There is no cost or information needed from you, the participant. All you are required to do is post your poem in the area provided and show support to at least one other poet. All poets will have the opportunity to earn money at least once. We wish we could give more and as our success continues to grow we will continue to give back more to you by increasing the Realistic Poetry contribution fund, which will ultimately increase payout amounts for poems. So, what does this mean for you? More money for doing what you love, writing poetry!
All poets are encouraged and welcome to submit their poetry! Every writer deserves the opportunity to share their work with the world and also earn money while doing so! Even if it is not a lot, every dollar can count for something!
You can submit as many times as you would like, there are absolutely no limitations! Poems that are unacceptable due to inappropriate content will be deleted without warning. There are no restrictions on length and we appreciate many diverse styles of poetry! If you are a new poet, please, do not be afraid or discouraged! We have read many poems written by amateurs that have far exceeded the average standards of well-written poetry. This is not a competition. We will try our best to ensure all poets have the opportunity to get paid for their poems! We cannot express how important participation is in order to earn as much money as you can! So, don’t hold back, tell everyone you know and let’s see how much of our money you can take!
Why give away your money?
Realistic Poetry simply loves poetry and poets who devote their precious time to write poetry. We believe that every word matters and our own poetic journey has been filled with many ups and downs. Most of the downs involve the lack of funding. Nonetheless, we are determined to do what we love while also finding a successful way to make a living at it. We have heard several times that earning money is not important, especially when it comes to poetry, and although it is a true statement, money is still very relevant to an independent artist and their career with aspirations of discovering economic freedom. The time dedicated to create poetry and also promote it to the world is necessary so that others may also read, enjoy, and grow from our work! Many of us write for the soul while others write to make a significant difference in other people’s lives.
Inevitably, we must face it; in today’s society it cost money to do what you love, but many artists are bound by the responsibility and obligation of punching a time clock, committing most of their time to another company’s financial success. Although poetry is not currently mainstream, we do believe in poetry’s abilities and we also believe in you! We are not rich, but we will try our best to give back to the poetry community. We understand that the payouts are not currently enough to help you achieve the ultimate economic freedom you deserve, but it begins with someone, somewhere, putting forth the earnest effort for us all! Together, we will show and tell the world that you and I are worth it! We will use our poetry to encourage, inspire, and uplift one another, never to tear anyone down. We are not competing with anyone nor should you feel in competition. We are here to support one another and build each poet up! We are doing it for you and for poetry! This is no longer a vision and we are done just talking about what we would like to do to help the poetry community. It is now time to put our words into action! We will resourcefully use what we have to begin growing poetry and all of its most treasurable, valuable seeds!
If you enjoy writing poetry, whether for entertainment purposes or for professional use, do not pass up this exclusive opportunity!
