Resources for Marketing for Technical Writing Opportunities?

I'm just wondring whether anyone on the list can point me to some useful
resources for marketing for technical writing opportunities? I'm
interested in either print-based, web-based or both.
I'm looking for information beyond the usual "networking with other tech
writers" and " tips on effective resume writing" or internet job boards
type information. Does anyone have any info on what sorts of approaches
are most effective? Cold calling? Targeted marketing to employers in your
area of interest? Sending brochures? etc. etc. What works? What doesn't?
That sort of thing.
Information based on personal experience is also most welcome.
Thanks
Sara-Sue
