Has anyone published any poetry online or know of the name of a site that does?

I've look high and low on the internet, but there's just a maze of confusion. If i got could get an exact name of a site. I have quite a backlog, about 50 or so, so of course a few dollars or just the potential to make it economically feasible would be good.

I've asked the same question on the normal forum, but I only got as far as a science fiction site.

Anyone out there have any sort of monetary success? I've seen so much go prose on here, someone must have tried and was successful.

I am aware that there is little money.

Amazon actually allow you to publish a Kindle edition of virtually anything at no cost - and pay you quite handsome royalties for every e-book sold through their site.

It's a fine line between self-publishing and vanity publishing but is presumably the way forward for those unable to get their work into print. As for promoting and publicising your work once it's out there presumably it's as much word of mouth as pot luck.

Thanks Hillwalker! The Amazon site was the first site that is straightforward!

If anyone knows of other sites, do tell.

So many of the sites look like the internet in the mid 90's, complicated and confusing. Many require that you already be published.

I am a little surprised that more on this forum have not self-published, the talent is certainly apparent.

Any stories?
