We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a poetry business:

#1: Daniel Zaltsman and Erick Szentmiklosy, founder of The Haiku Guys & Gals:

We chatted with with Daniel, founder of The Haiku Guys & Gals ($35K/month). In our interview, Daniel says:

We can’t stress enough how valuable starting on the street was for our future success. Not only did we develop a key network of future collaborators, clients, and fans, but we also perfected the way we would go to market with it.

Additionally:

Always get everything in writing. Starting with the operating agreement all the way down to roles and responsibilities. We’ve learned the hard way that it’s better to document the business’ bylaws upfront rather than having to react to a sticky situation later.

Further:

Ask for help and be as helpful as possible for other people too. Without the help of our friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and strangers, none of this would be possible.
