problems with your work and the format?

MARKET

Your poem has been published. Now it's time to start marketing it. The fastest
way to drive up visitor traffic is to tell people. Tell everyone. Notify
family and friends of your publication. Join forums of all kinds and add a
link to your signature. Every time you post, you'll be promoting your work.
Join social networks for poets. Create a Myspace and Facebook profile with
links to your published poems. Make friends on Triond and exchange links. Look
into sites like Digg and Stumbleupon.

EXPAND

Don't stop with one poem. The more poems you have published, the more visitors
you are likely to have. When a visitor likes a piece they may choose to read
more of your work. Don't let them down and miss a great opportunity.
