Poetry Online: Build Your First Blog or Website
In one hour, watch a real poetry website get built from scratch — and leave knowing exactly how to launch your own. No tech skills required.
📅 July 18th · 🕒 11 a.m. EST · 💻 Live online (Zoom)
Free to attend. Can’t make it live? Everyone who registers gets the recording.
Why You’re Here
Ever feel like your poems disappear the moment you post them? A like, a scroll, and they’re gone.
Social media rents you an audience. A website gives you something you actually own — a permanent home for your work, a portfolio you control, a place readers can always find you. The problem isn’t your words. It’s that “build a website” sounds like a job for someone else, someone techier.
It isn’t. In this free hour, we’ll prove it — together.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of this session, you’ll have:
- A clear, jargon-free picture of how a poetry website actually comes together
- The four simple pages every poet’s site needs — and what belongs on each
- Your site name decided, plus easy tips for picking a domain
- The confidence to publish your first poem (you’ll watch one go live, start to finish)
- A realistic plan to keep posting without burning out
- The full recording, plus your exact next three steps
Who This Is For
This training was made for poets who:
- Have been meaning to start a website “someday”
- Feel a little behind on tech — and don’t want to feel silly asking
- Are tired of watching their work vanish in a social feed
- Want a calm, step-by-step start instead of a pile of confusing tutorials
No coding, no design background, and no existing website required. If you can write a poem, you can do this.
What We’ll Cover
In one focused hour:
- Why a website beats social media for poets — visibility, credibility, and ownership
- What a great (and refreshingly simple) poetry site looks like
- Choosing your name and claiming your space online
- A live build: going from a blank screen to a real, working site
- The moment that matters most: publishing your very first poem, live
- Keeping it going — a posting rhythm you can actually sustain
Questions, Answered
Do I have to attend live? No. Register and we’ll send you the full recording, so you can watch (and re-watch) whenever it suits you.
How much does it cost? Free.
Do I need a website already? Not at all. You’ll see one built from scratch — bring zero, leave with a plan.
What do I need to bring? Just curiosity and somewhere to jot notes. No software to install beforehand.
Will my site be finished by the end? You’ll leave knowing exactly how to build it and with your name decided. The hands-on, build-your-own work lives in our full self-paced course, Poetry Online: Build Your First Blog or Website — this live hour is the confident first step.
Your voice deserves a stage. Let’s build it.
Spend one hour with us, and your poetry website stops being “someday” and starts being a plan.
