Low effort:
Get testimonials / recommendations from every single employer / client when you wrap up the work.
That helps in the long run and the result compounds over time. Especially when we do not have code to showcase.
Medium effort:
Write on dev.to or your personal blog, I see some great devs who publish rarely (1-2 article a year) but that still helps.
High effort:
Then comes open source contributions, building projects. Building projects in public in great but you need to have atleast one polished project/app people use.
Now curate all these on a personal website / social media / resume.
It’s super hard to roast a business idea (atleast for me 😄) consider what people said on HN when dropbox was pitched and see where dropbox is now (dropbox example since I saw that on twitter other day)
that said, I would like add something useful:
consider moving to a further step and write down business plan for each ideas — how do we make money of this and what’s the strategy and start with one which you are leaning more towards.
there is also another approach— just pick one which can be shipped in a month or less and get it to the hands of potential customers. basically ship, launch and get feedback quickly
