Great article and it gets right to the point of the importance of self-promotion and not relying on agents or publicists.

The fact is that employers (producers, directors and advertisers) often "Google" names of actors or voice actors before they hire them. This is sometimes even a requirement by the company's legal department to ensure that they are hiring a credible spokesperson.

Here's SlideShare presentation on the same topic that others may find helpful.
