Congratulations on finding something you enjoy (I hope?) - honing your craft should prove to be a valuable way to spend your time. I have an opinion based on the idea that we each market our own skills and talents, and that that is what leads customers to communities and services (in other words, there is an entire segment of the market that cares about purchasing from good people -- even when the product needs more work). If that resonates with you, then I think community participation is the best way to build your personal brand. Work with other people, demonstrate the talents and abilities that you have, and try to improve not only your own abilities and behaviours, but those of the community as well. Doing that can be tricky because we don't always see our own faults, and communicating people's faults to them can be fraught. Probably not the type of answer you were expecting; there's plenty written about traditional marketing strategies, so I won't attempt to duplicate those.
