Write a short synopsis/summary/teaser to blogs posts that are germane to work areas/technologies/languages that you'd like to work on at a future employer. Post these to LinkedIn with a link to your original long form blog post. If you know anyone who works at employers you're interested in, ask if they could pass these along as well as inquiring about what kinds of content they think would be of interest to them and others inside the organization. Do the same as above with content you discover is relevant to insiders; if you haven't already written such content, plan to make future posts on these topics, as you already know you have a target audience for such.

I'm working on this myself, for myself, as I hope to become self-sufficient and not dependent on any one employer, and also to increase the reach of content for its own sake for the benefit of all, not just a single team/group/org.
