Comment on How to get started on building a personal brand as a Technical Writer?parent

I guess it’s quite close to the playbook for building a personal brand as a developer?

I would image these thngs could be useful: Write a newsletter, give conference talks, build a portfolio. Write a book. Use social media if you’re into that kind of stuff. (Instagram, YouTube, Mastodon, whatever suits you.) Have a website/blog for your longform articles on the subject.

HTH, good luck!

PS.

Be persistent and be patient. Set realistic goals so that you will not burn out and don’t be too dissapointed if it doesn’t go as fast as you would like.

For a given time frame, i.e. a year or so, it’s probably not possible to be prolific in all the areas I mentioned. So maybe pick 1-3 areas and focus on them, based on what you would find most fun.
