Another option is starting a newsletter, which feels more suited for a writer to gather readers (when compared to gather “followers” on any social media). Full disclaimer: I believe that so much that (as a fellow beginner writer) I created a “newsletter” platform more suited for fiction writers to slowly form an audience of readers owning the mailing list. https://writer.confabulists.com https://writer.confabulists.com You still have to keep writing constantly (essays, short stories, chapters of a novel, or even some communication of what you are doing) but it feels more natural for writers to write than to keep posting cute pictures, hot takes or creative short videos. Also, I added the concept of “books” in my platform, so new subscribers to your newsletter start reading your old stuff (not only your future posts). Having a newsletter also is very satisfying that you keep some contact with people that like what you write, no matter how few they are.
