&gt;How to get started on building a personal brand as <i>Technial</i> Writer?<p>I would start with double checks on spelling ... &#x2F;s<p>Seriously, a typo can happen to everyone, but when they happen, particularly in short text or in a title they immediately give (at least to me) the impression that there has not been enough attention&#x2F;diligence, which is not a good sign, particularly for technical writers.

That&#x27;s a very vague question so accept my very vague answer, I&#x27;d do what people are recommended to to do when they&#x27;re trying to find their personal art style. Find ~5 people that inspire you, try to figure out what part you like about them&#x2F;their &quot;personal brand&quot;, mimic and improve on that

There are a few books on it like &#x27;Writing for Software Developers&#x27; and &#x27;Write Useful Books&#x27;. Working with Hit Subscribe is an option for getting a better idea of the workflow. Then its really just a game of building up your blog&#x2F;books and maybe sales with companies.

[Metaphor]<p>When the phone rings, always answer and say &quot;Yes.&quot;<p>When you get big, hire other writers to maintain the &quot;Yes.&quot;<p>That&#x27;s what a B2B brand is.<p>[\Metaphor]<p>Good luck.

What’s your goal? To land a job? Write a manual? Write a book?
