Hello

Over the last few years, I tried to build my brand and be the best IT Consultant possible.

I had a real company and even employed one person (for a short period of time). The thing is that in my case it wasn't worth the effort. I'm not a businessman, I like clients, and I like helping them, but marketing or self-promotion is too hard for me, and my results were under expectations. As you may know, or not during last year (or even two) I had:

• newsletter
• tech blog
• active LinkedIn account
• tried to be on Twitter and Reddit

The newsletter at the peak had ~40 subscribers, didn't generate any leads, and I need to spend at least one hour Sunday evening/Monday morning, on editing and adjusting my content. Due that, I decided to close it.

The tech blog under blog.3sky.dev /blog is great. No revenue, no leads, but due to this I was able to become an AWS Community Builder, meet great people, and grow as a specialist. Also tech writing is awesome, I really enjoy it.

LinkedIn, really I tried to get as many likes or comments as possible. Was it worth it? I don't think so, recently I have done a small 2-3 months break from this portal. Did I miss something? After more than 6 months, I can cleary said: No I don't! What about the job market you can ask? All jobs I have or had I found by accident on the "Who is hiring" thread, or over the company page because I just wanted to work there.

What about Twitter/Reddit/Facebook/Instagram/TikTok? So, I'm not very active there, and my FOMO sleeps well. Even If I'm not aware of the wedding of my colleagues from primary school, or I can't go over holiday photos of my coworkers. I'm just fine.

With that in mind, you can ask how to contact me as person. It's simple:

• use my phone number (the older I become, the more I prefer voice conversation)
• look at this page, from time to time I will post non-tech-related content as well
• meet me in person at conferences, on a walk, or go with me on lunch

See you there!
