I'd 'blog' a lot on Facebook. It worked. Got me nearly 100% of contracts, matched me with VCs, and so on.

Too bad FB has a lot of downsides. I quit and I'm back to silently building skills and avoiding any self-marketing.

20 years into my career and it's all word of mouth.

Before that it was all just submitting resumes.

And before that it was all cold calls to different companies asking if they were hiring for my position. My record is 600 calls in two months.

Blogging is good! I've gotten freelance opportunities through people reading my articles; I mainly blog about testing.
