What's the best way to promote yourself as a developer: Blogging or Youtube?

Hi,

I want to become a freelancer in 6 months-1 year.

To promote myself, right now I'm doing 2 videos/posts (the same topic on video and the text version) every week, with the occasional post of "This is what I think about X" or "How to solve Y", making 2 videos/3 posts every week, while I have a full job.

As I want to become a freelancer working on contracts and/or teaching on 1-to-1, should I focus on just blogging or just making videos?

I have been doing this for around half a year, but I don't know if I should ditch the blog and focus on making videos, the opposite, or keep going what I'm going.

Given these options and what I want to do (teaching/working on contracts), what should I do?

1.- Just focus on blogging
2.- Just focus on making videos
3.- Keep doing both
4.- Keep making videos and just link them on a blog post with a brief description

Dev.to, what do you suggest?
