The majority of professional poets actually work as freelancers. Many poets will attempt to start their careers by sending their poems to poetry competitions, literary magazines, and poetry publishers. After being published, they may then start to gain popularity and possibly even a following. Extremely talented poets might even have their own poetry books published. Although publishing poetry in periodicals is typically the most traditional type of poetry career, it is not the only type of poetry career.
