| An online poetry community is a site that you can join to share your poems. It provides a platform to meet other poets that share a common interest. It is very important that you find a site that is dedicated to its poets. But this not easy. It benefits you greatly to choose the best site for you. The following are basic guidelines that you can use to achieve that. The first thing to check is the membership fees. Membership fees should be expected but the fee should cover all features. You don't want to join a poetry community where you have to pay anything after paying a membership fee. It is also necessary to check the site features Of course, one that has many features would be ideal. Look for writing contests, guaranteed feedback for everything you post, and for a site that is busy to ensure that you will get feedback for what you post. The communication system that an online poetry community is offering should be active. This means that it should have a place for poets to share their writing, share ideas, and express themselves. Feedback system should also be included. Examine how you receive feedback to find out if it addresses the areas of analysis that are significant to you. Find a poetry community that offers several recognition programs that offer friendly competition and a way to measure your progress. It is rewarding for a poet to be able to rise up the ranks and gain recognition from fellow poets. The site layout of a poetry community should be clean, strong linking, fairly devoid of adverts, and should be easy to navigate. The poetry community needs to have meaningful poems research tools. This is a sure way of offering the poets means of learning poem forms, movements, history as well as other poets. There are some sites that have no award systems and poets need to stay away from those sites. A quality site will invest in its members, and this is something that you need to consider before you choose a poetry community that will meet your requirements. In addition, a quality poetry community will respond promptly to its members concerns, questions, or suggestions. It should also give you at least 7 days trial period where you are allowed to have access to all features so that you can fully understand the poetry community. You can also publish an e-book of your poems. This is not difficult as all you have to do is create a collection of your poems, determine the price and then post a link on your website so as to promote and sell your e-book of poems. Generally, a poetry community will offer its poets a great experience and a poet can get to learn and grow more. Finding the right online poetry community doesn’t have to be difficult. If you asked me what ONE thing I would look for it is this: The more features a poetry site offers its poets, the more likely your experience is going to be a great one.
