As you may well know, I started blogging back in 2002. I can still remember getting my first comment (well, the first one that wasn’t from my mom). The comment included his email address, and I thought that meant I was supposed to send one. So I did, and wrote something along the lines of, “Thanks for your comment.

When I started blogging in 2002 I was a complete unknown, and the only people who knew about me and my blog were my real-life friends and the people I worked with. And while it’s great to see how many people are reading your blog posts on Google Analytics, comparing that figure to the number of comments each one gets can be quite depressing.

Fast forward 4-5 years to 2002 and when I came across my first blog and wondered if I too could start one I remember feeling again that perhaps it would be beyond me. You had to write your posts in html and to get comments working on your blog you had to use an external script (I guess we’d call it a plugin these days).

I started blogging in late 2002. And while all that was happening I was still creating lots of content, driving traffic, and building a community. For a while we also had a membership site on ProBlogger, where people paid a monthly fee to access premium such as webinars, closed private communities, and plugins we’d developed.

Mobile phones were certainly around when I first started blogging but when I started blogging in 2002, there weren’t too many smartphones. That’s what I did back in 2002, 2003. Engaging with people on social media, responding to comments, responding to emails, those are the types of things you can’t really schedule.
