I’ve been blogging for almost 20 years. The site isn’t monetized, I don’t have many readers, and I don’t get much Google traffic. But ... - My posts about developing for iOS in 2008 were found by an editor at Manning and I wrote a book for them. This helped me make the transition to full time iOS development. - My posts about extending Fogbugz and Citydesk were part of my application to Fogcreek/Trello — I can’t say it “got” me the job, but I’m sure helped me get an interview. - I’ve been invited to speak at conferences, be a guest on podcasts, and write for Smashing based on people finding my site. It’s not a lot, but raises my profile just a bit. I would do it anyway, but I’ve had a 30+ year career and I think my blog has been a significant factor in it.
