The next step would be to get a wider audience. Having people on Facebook and YouTube that read your stuff is already pretty good. Many people also have a Blog where they post their stuff. You could also have a look out for opportunities in your city - maybe there are local clubs for poets, similar to critique circles for novel writers.

For an online example you could have a look at [this answer](https://writing.stackexchange.com/a/1031/23159) to the question [What are good places to post your work where it will be read by others?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/904/23159) It mentions the website "Poet Sancutary". I don't know anything about the site, but you might want to have a look at it.

When searching for websites or clubs to promote your work or to get feedback you should be wary of being ripped off. Have a look at the question [Is the website allpoetry.com benefecial for poets and writers?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/28597/23159) (Disclaimer: I wrote the currently only answer to that question and am not a poet myself.)

If you already have some audience you should see if there is a way to make money with your work. There are probably a few websites that may allow you to do something like that. For example I know that [Medium.com](https://medium.com/) is a blog and allows you to publish behind a semi-paywall. I have never used that feature, but I sometimes write short stories there for the Universe Factory, which is the [Blog from our sister site WorldBuilding.SE](https://worldbuilding.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2590/we-have-a-blog).

Searching for magazines that may publish your work online or offline would also be a possibility.
