How to possibly publish a poem?

Question

A few years back, I wrote a lengthy detailed rhyming poem about baseball (and playing baseball when I was younger). I still have it, and I think it would make a decent children's book, as it would only be about 20 pages (including illustrations). A child who is a baseball fan might like it.

So, my question is: who do I go about contacting to maybe turn this into a book? Do I contact a publisher? I do not want to enter poetry competitions or anything because that's lame (no offense). Yes, this might be lame too, but I could make money off of this.

I live in Central NJ. Any ideas how to turn this into some kind of best-seller? I'm kidding, but how do I move forward?

Some of the best options out there are paid per lead websites where you get paid for every lead you send them, not for every sale. This way you get paid whether the referral buys or not. Some of my favorites are CPALead and Loudmo, you can Yahoo them and you can also get your free success guide to say adios to working 9 to 5. I've posted the link in the source below...

God bless ;-)

hey there 

I was also looking for some way to make some extra money online and I did a lot of searches in my journey to finding the right one.. I stumbled upon this site http://bit.ly/NewLegitOnlineJobs2011  

I decided to try it out and I'm making about $45 - $65 a day.. pretty good to say the least (considering I'm only 19 and still in college) I'd check it out if I was you.. no pressure, just see if it's right for you.. 

if you can type fast & follow directions I think you'll do fine!

anyways hope you find something that works for you & happy new year
