That's a piece of very good advice - become recognized as an expert or 'authority' in your field, and it won't be hard to stand out and get clients. A little bit of a practical problem that I personally have is that I tend to be a generalist, dabbling with a lot of technologies. This makes it a bit harder to follow your advice, but even then it's a great idea and one that I've been contemplating recently.
Yes, that does make it a bit more of a challenge - but perhaps you could also use it to your advantage? If you are a generalist, then you could write an ebook like "How to be an effective generalist programmer" (or something like that :) ). Good luck!
True! I would be telling a different story, but it could still be an interesting one, and clients need that sort of dev too.
(for all the time and effort I've spent on front end dev over the last years - JS, React, Vue, Webpack the whole shebang - I'm still being drawn time and time again by backend dev - yeah or maybe it's "fullstack")
