This is cool/ I would like to do something similar where I leverage my blog and Twitter: Any pointers on how you did this? Thanks.

  Remain consistent in when you post content, and what you write about. Drill down a niche for yourself, and commit to posting at least once or twice a week. Then try to find as much social platforms to share it to (HN, Reddit, Dev.to, Twitter. etc). Also get yourself into conversations with other people posting content in your own niche; I have had many great discussions about tech topics on twitter that way.. I started getting a lot of attention when I was 5 months into my main area of expertise/niche, and making posts about very specific problems.

    Thanks. One more question: I am trying to get into a new field (cybersecurity) with limited knowledge. Would posting beginner level content in a field I have no expertise over weigh against me later when trying to interview?

      For the Cybersecurity field, I would also advice to join some of the Cybersecurity (offsec and defsec) discord channels, and generally the communities surrounding CS. There you can at least scope the topics. As for finding a entry level Cybersecurity job; I don't think that blogging is a good route to take, unless you really have some skills to show off. But I do see companies hiring people right after attaining certain certificates + being active in online communities.
