Heather needs little introduction – she’s a Trivial Pursuit answer , Queen of the Mommy Bloggers , an author , a speaker , a consultant, and a gal who’s come a long way from that day in 2002 when she was fired for what she wrote on her blog about her workplace. No actually, I never really did it. I kinda failed at that.

In 2002 I published my first ever blog post. I don’t remember too much about what I wrote in it, but I still vividly remember the feelings and questions I had as I hit Publish. Set up a publishing process. Who’s going to read this? How will they find it? What will their reaction be? What do I do now?

November 2002 : I started my first personal blog almost nine years ago, without even the faintest suspicion that it’d be anything more than a hobby. September 2005: I published a post here on ProBlogger talking about how I’d reached the “six-figure&# level of income from blogging. Blogging: from hobby to job.

When I started blogging in 2002 I had no intention of doing it professionally. The great thing about launching ProBlogger this way was that I’d already worked out that there was an audience for the topic, I already knew that I enjoyed writing about the topic and I already had 50 or so posts that I could transfer over to the new domain.

On some levels I was at the right place at the right time—I got into blogging early (in 2002 … although I felt I was late to it at the time) and have been fortunate enough to have started blogs at opportune times on the topics I write about. It takes time to build an audience, to build a brand, and to build trust and a good reputation.

As I consider the question of why someone should start a blog in 2020, I can’t help but return to the beginning of my own blogging journey in 2002. Things have changed since 2002. Despite having a decent audience, my first month with AdSense brought in around A$60 (around US$45). Why I Started Blogging. It started very slowly.

They didn’t create that audience. I wrote my first guest post back in 2002, before guest posting was even a thing. But this guy’s been blogging for a year now, and he has a decent audience.
