Many poets, particularly if they are slam poets, or otherwise connected to live poetry audiences, self-publish "chapbooks" which can be easily and cheaply constructed from several sheets of letter-sized paper (folded in half, and stapled down the middle, with a sheet of heavier bond paper or cardstock for the cover). Able to be produced yourself in a copyshop, and typically sold for around , these can be an effective and (mildly) remunerative way of disseminating your poetry to an audience.

As with most self-publishing projects, your sales will be determined by your own salespersonship. If you read frequently in public, and especially if you tour as a poet, this can be a very good option. A good percentage of the work I own by living poets is in chapbook form.

Also, as is true for any self-publishing project, particularly strong sales could pave the way for eventual reprinting or re-collection by a conventional publisher (although probably it would need to comprise poems from several chapbooks).
