I don’t write on a Stephen king level and I’m not a journalist — for someone like me I need to write (and publish) everyday, promote everyday (on Twitter, Facebook groups, responding to medium articles) and keep showing up.
It doesn’t take that long — I started writing in August a few articles (5–10 per month) and then I took things more seriously and they picked up for me in October. Hopefully they’ll keep getting better from now on.
Write every day and keep finding what gets you to keep coming back to your writing and people will come back to read.
