Exposure comes from putting yourself out there in as many places as you can. On the sites you mentioned, more often than not people are there for themselves, and as a result aren't looking for what you can do. So you should take the opportunity to put your work on sites that are designed to show you off. And being out there in more places that people visit will make it easier to get noticed and stumbled upon. Setting up a blog when available is also a good idea, as people are apt to visit sites with fresh content more so than ones that are stagnant. Brushd! () is one site that combines the two, and allows for an easy blog with your gallery. I would recommend making portfolios and galleries on sites like: If you have your photos already, it really shouldn't take long to make a collection on any of those sites. Take it easy, do one a day and see how it goes!
