Serial podcast creator and .NET Core maniac.
Can often be found talking about everything and nothing on one of the many podcasts that he produces (only one of them is about .NET Core, honest)

Work
.NET Development Contractor; Podcast host, producer and editor
I've written, rather extensively, about .NET Core over at dotnetcore.gaprogman.com/ for the past two years. I don't publish new articles there (as I'm focusing on a podcast on .NET Core at the moment).
But during it's height, I was seeing 1000+ pages views per week and I know for a fact that some of the folks I work with were using it a reference material for their day-to-day work.
I've guest posted on a number of amazing blogs, had folks guest post on my blog, was picked up Microsoft link aggregators once or twice, and have even seen my articles used as references in Chinese language blogs. I've even been asked to speak at meetups and conferences - I'm speaking at Ubmbraco Festival UK in early November.
(I haven't kept it up to date, but I do have an As seen on page).
On the back of the blog alone, I've had offers to write technical books and have met a whole bunch of amazing people. I turned down the book offers (from my point of view, the pay off isn't worth the effort. Unless you focus on "is a published author" as the pay off).
I wouldn't have even dared to start a podcast without having created the blog first, as it gave me the freedom to figure out a technical voice for myself.
And that's just one of my blogs (I currently have three).
If you're willing to put the effort in, have a schedule and (most importantly) stick to it, then it can be incredibly rewarding.
