So, in the end I gave up after a few months.Nevertheless, I think this article might help me a bit to understand what I was missing: social media. I didn't even know about Twitter at all :D Plus only a hand full of people read my articles now and then.Next time I try harder to make my special design blog more interesting :) Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Nevertheless, I think this article might help me a bit to understand what I was missing: social media. I didn’t even know about Twitter at all :D Plus only a hand full of people read my articles now and then.

Next time I try harder to make my special design blog more interesting :) Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I have tried multiple times to maintain a blog, but sometimes I when I get home from work blogging is a last thing on my mind. I find that I often suffer from "Plummers sink always leaks" syndrome, though this is more of an excuse then a reason. Great Post Brian.

When I first joined twitter back in 2007, I only did it to follow a co-worker who was tweeting updates from SXSW. After that, I did not pay much attention to my account. About 6 months ago, I decided to give twitter another try. I am so glad that I did. It is such a valuable resource for not only information, but for all of the other reasons you listed in your article. Building your reputation takes time, but I believe that it's worth every minute of it. It's definitely a work in progress for me, and I appreciate you sharing your insights with us.

I was not specifically speaking about building your reputation ONLY within the design community, because then, of course, it would not have as much impact on getting hired. That said, there are benefits beyond feeding one's ego. I have found that the more established I become within the community, the more I learn from others, connect and engage with other people, and discover more opportunities - not just for new clients but for things such as a chance to write on this blog. A year ago no one was interested in having me write for their blogs because they had no idea I existed. But now I have been asked to write for several design blogs, and other similar opportunities have presented themselves as well, all because I worked at establishing and growing my reputation. I'm comfortable enough with my life and my work to not have any need for feeding my ego, but feeding my family is always a priority, and for me, these methods have contributed to that.

I was writing under the assumption that the work being produced is obviously good enough to get hired, and the rest of this would go hand in hand with it. But it's never a good idea to assume that everyone knows what I'm thinking. ;) Thanks for pointing that out, JC.
