I love writing, I enjoy being heard and hearing what others have to say and hopefully (God willing) one day someone will stumble upon my writings and enjoy them enough to give me a chance at making a career out of it.
I was just wondering, what is one to do...how do you get more exposure in the writing business? I've tried Twitter, Facebook and many other similar sites with little to no avail.
I'm fairly new to this world, so I'm turning to the experts for advice. Any advice, any suggestions and/or comments?

I'm no expert but I hear 'mechanical turk' on amazon has helped. I would suggest you checking out writing forums also --> writers digest, authors associations, etc. Just some thoughts and am sure others will have better suggestions.
@Dame Scribe thank you so much for the information, I will look into it.
WryLit is right - if your titles and subheads are search terms, your traffic will grow. Good luck here on the site!
Thank you everyone for the advice/information...I really appreciate it.
In my opinion you make a 'career' of writing by submitting your work to paying markets. I am about 25% there myself. You can find markets at sites like Duotrope.com
If you are a writer try joining AuthorsDen.com - It's a great site for sharing your work and it gives you (your page on authorsden) and your work lots of traffic. You can even join writing.com as it's also a great site for sharing your work. There are free memberships but you might have to splurge a little and get higher memberships as more benefits with those.

It seems a bit much, or maybe I am insensitive. The competition is fierce. I go to the CDC site if I need accurate information. Why are so many of us writing about the virus?

There is a child in my family that is suffering from some very misguided parenting. There is no doubt that his parents adore him and he is very well cared for but he is spoiled to the point of being a disruption. At the age of four, he is very violent with both of his parents and his...

I read this hub and it gave me an idea for another. This particular hub was based on what I have read from other people who are gay and trying to come out. They seem to blame their situations or just feel very embarrassed or scared (which is just natural I suppose.) But I feel...

I've been online for almost 4 years, 2 1/2 of which have been spent writing for HP. There are a few thoughts I would like to share with my fellow writers that I feel might be helpful to them.First, we should never forget that behind all of the figures are real people. People who seek...
