Contrary to popular belief, you really can get something valuable for nothing.
Many savvy bloggers and other content writers are all about giving away information to market themselves. I agree with them that providing value in this way builds trust and credibility for your brand.
Why not take advantage of their generosity and tap into the treasure trove of free information out there?

Using the Social Web to Find Work, by Chris Brogan, social media guru
Write Your LinkedIn Profile for Your Future
“LinkedIn isn’t a place to dump a snapshot of where you’ve been. It’s an opportunity to stay connected to people, and to demonstrate where you are now, and where you plan to go next.”
Make Your LinkedIn Profile Work for You
“People who use LinkedIn expertly, like Christopher S. Penn, will be the first to say that [LinkedIn] is sorely underrated as a place to develop business, grow your capabilities, and promote your projects and opportunities.”
Social Media for Your Career
“Your blog is a resume. My blog has been responsible for HUNDREDS of inquiries over the years . . . People who might want to know about using video, or blogging, or making podcasts, or tying this all together into a strategy see examples, almost daily, of what I think, what I know, and how I’ve accomplished some of this in my own life and career.”
