I want to see if I can get some more freelance, or consultant, work by promoting myself with a website. Not sure how effective this is nowadays, but it's something. What is your experience with doing this? Is it better to promote myself as a company doing some services or should I do a more personal take on it and promote myself as the person I am and what I can help with?

Here's what I did before I joined Hashnode.
Created my own website, added my portfolio (with descriptions what I did)
Started writing blogs - to be specific, I started writing my own case studies and how I managed tasks I had to do. The latest blog I wrote had over 1.1k visits and brought me 4 job offers (before Hashnode).
Be active on social media - Join relevant groups for your expertise and share your thoughts and blogs there. Basically, I gained all the traffic through social media for my blog without spending a single cent on advertising.
Basically, you have Devblog that does everything for you in terms of blogging. You just have to focus on positioning yourself through social media.
During the next week, I'll launch a new blog post for Hashnode users, which will somehow be related to your question.
Hope I gave you some ideas to think about. We can reach out through messages so I can give you more insights on these topics :)
