Can you make money by writing poems?

Not for the time being, whether writing poetry or writing poetry.

Barely enough to make ends meet. A poem is about 10-50 yuan's fee, which varies according to the length of the poem and the publication of the fee. If you gain some fame, the manuscript fee will be higher, but how many good poems can you write in a month?

It will be better to write lyrics in another form, provided that you really write at a certain level, and it will be all over the street in general.

The other way is to establish the commanding heights of art by writing poems, gain your position in the eyes of people around you, and then get paid by working in other styles. Of course, this is a bit far from poetry.

Another further method is to be an editor of a poetry publication. I wonder if this is "writing" poems to make money.

If you write a poem alone, it will cost one or two thousand yuan a month, which is almost the limit. Unless you are famous, or have achieved a certain social status in the poetry world. One or two thousand dollars a month, I don't know, I'm hungry. If you don't have to rent a house or sell a house, you don't have to socialize, you don't have to support your family, and you don't have a serious illness or chronic disease, it may be marginal. But the salary of an ordinary designer (not to mention a designer) is more than that.

Of course, this is just the current situation. Perhaps poetry will be very popular in 10 years, but it may also be completely abandoned by people. The future, who knows?

Now people who really write poems for a living have almost disappeared. Either write poetry as a hobby, or be an editor, or go to school as a Chinese teacher, and so on.
