Start teaching and/or blogging. I know there are 1000s of programmers teaching same basic stuff but it seems to make you stand out. I say this because long time ago, I worked with Pentaho, a BI tool. Wrote couple of posts about using it, mostly for document for myself. I still get a few emails a year to do some consulting for Pentaho though some of it might be just recruiter spam. On other hand, my PHP posts have not send me any legit looking emails regarding PHP consulting. But that might be because my PHP posts are pretty basic and don’t show up in search results.
