👂 Build your reputation.- Write a blogpost for Toptal ( already pitch accepted for “how to build a JSON API app using elixir and phoenix” ) - Write 1 blogpost every month on personal blog
🌐 Build your network.- Follow Elixir folks on Twitter like Jose Valim - Join slack community for Elixir programming language - Do a search on LinkedIn for Elixir and reach out to folks
💬 ConclusionI feel building my reputation and network are the tricky ones. We often neglect this at our own peril because there are no well defined steps to do this. But let's see how this goes. Will keep you posted !! If you have any suggestions, that would be helpful 😊

01/17/2019, 10:11 AM👂 Build your reputation.- Been scared of asking for personal recommendations but I finally found the courage to send a few mails. 2 recommendations are up on my personal website (https://abhishekbose.com). Hopefully I will get 1 more soon. - Also realized there is a difference in page content based on whether "you want to become a _freelancer_" or "you want to be hired as a _remote worker_". Examples of creation of value matter in the former, while your skills matter in the latter.
