As far as jobs go and the blog—not as much as I would like, but more than zero. Despite hundreds of thousands of page views, my blog has only yielded me a couple of incoming inquiries about jobs over the past decade.[0]
However, it has helped me as a space to write about the launch of my books, which probably yielded some sales and has allowed me to have some interesting discussions with people about the posts on occasion. It's also just cool to have people reading what you write.
On the other hand, I think creating a personal "who am I" website was helpful in a past job search as a point of reference for folks to learn about me and the job search went pretty well.[1]
