assuming that your laravel project "public" directory and "public_html" directory are different. Or your subdomain pointer directory may be different , then use your subdomain pointer directory like "public_html" below given process.

apply command: $ php artisan storage:link

this command will create symlink to "public" directory to your laravel project. not inside the "public_html" . so we need to move the "storage" link to "public_html" directory. for this you can move directly. if it doesn't work then move it using command . go inside the "public" directory and run the below command according to your "public_html" directory location.

$ mv storage /home/yourHostinInfo/domains/domainName/public_html

the path might be different based on your hosting information.
