MSNBC has an article on Poetry dot com which has published 4.6 million people and claims it is possible to make money from poetry — if you focus on quantity over quality. To avoid quality, prizes are awarded, not by the poem's merits, but by the time which the poem was submitted with a different winning time set each day.
The end of the article mentions Poetry Daily over at Poems dot com and David Lehman's daily poem project (for the month of April 1998) as just one of their special features.
