If you are good at poetry writing, there is no reason why you should keep your talent hidden. It’s time to get out of your comfort zone and put your work in front of the world to read. But why should you do it? Well, there are endless reasons, some of which are discussed in this blog.
Four reasons why you should publish your poem online
- You get validation as a poet
Until and unless your poetry is out there for people to read and judge, how do you know if it is good enough? Publishing your poem gives you the perspective and opinions of your readers, which can help you write better poetry in future. If you stay in your shell and never put out your poems, there will be no growth in your craft. Other fellow poets and avid poetry readers can give you genuine, priceless feedback on how you can hone your writing.
2. You develop your portfolio and credentials as a poet
Whether you are thinking of building your career as a poet or you want some extra side income through this skill, submitting your poems for publication is a must. When you send your poetry to an online website or journal, your work gets assessed compared to other hundreds and thousands of writings. Based on whether you get published or not, you can understand where you stand among your competition. Also having a portfolio of published poems will build your credibility as a poet. There will be a higher chance of you getting selected for writing jobs, gigs or publications that pay you.
3. You can publish your poem for free
The best part of publishing your poetry online is that there are many websites where you can do it without paying any charge.

4. You get the chance to build your community
For any artist, the best feeling is having a close-knit community that can support you throughout your journey and give you advice on your work. And the only way you can build this community is through publishing your poems. There will always be a section of readers who will deeply resonate with your writing and comment on it or reach out to you personally. It will help you build a connection with your readers. You can also reach out to the other poets whose work has been published on the websites where your poem was published. It will help you grow your network and evolve as an artist.
