Dear Poets:
You Are the Brand.
You Are the Business.

Let’s talk about it.

Talent is everywhere.
And whether people want to admit it or not…
there are levels to this.

Some talent speaks so loudly, it promotes itself.
You hear it once, and you’re locked in.

But for the rest of us…
you have to promote.

Not because you lack talent…
but because there is so much talent out here.

Here’s what a lot of poets miss:

Every room is not your room.
Every audience is not your audience.

The city you’re in…
the venue you’re performing at…
the demographic in that space…

may not align with:
• your subject matter
• your delivery
• your voice

And that doesn’t mean change who you are.

It means…
you have to build your audience.

Everywhere you go,
you should be inviting people to become a part of your community.

Not just followers.
Not just views.

Your community.

Because social media is a tool…
not your home.

You don’t own Instagram.
You don’t own TikTok.

So if those platforms disappear tomorrow,
how do people find you?

You should be using your socials to collect
• email addresses
• phone numbers

You should have a system.

Everything should lead back to:
👉 your website
👉 your email list

So when you’re in a new city…
or back in a familiar one…

you don’t have to hope people show up.

You can tell them you’re coming.

Directly.

At the end of the day:

You are a brand.
You are a business.

And if you want longevity in this…
you have to move like it.

Dear Poets… and Dear Poetry Lovers 🎤✨

Let’s talk real quick.

If your poem goes viral on someone else’s platform… that’s a win.
That’s always been a win. From Def Poetry Jam to now, platforms help amplify voices.

But here’s the part we can’t ignore…

Poets,
make sure you and your platform are ready for that kind of attention.

Have your content up.
Have your poems posted.
Have somewhere for people to LAND when they come looking for you.

Because when they find you…
they should find MORE of you.



Poetry Lovers,
when you hear a poem you love on somebody else’s page…

don’t stop there.

Go find that poet.
Follow them.
Share their work from THEIR page.

Help them grow where it actually matters.



And let’s be clear about something…

This is an ecosystem.

Poets.
Poetry lovers.
Promoters.
Platforms.
Venues.
Staff.
Brands.
Your audience.
Your customers.

Everybody plays a role.

So nobody…
and I mean nobody…
should be taken for granted.

Not the platform that you go viral on.
Not the audience that shows up.
Not the venue.
Not the staff.
& DEFINITELY NOT THE POET.

When we respect the ecosystem…
we ALL win.
