I think an infatuation with readerhip numbers is inevitable at the start but it can be like starting an MMO - at first all your numbers go up and everything is an upgrade but then progress slows and it starts to feel like a grind. Worse, it can end up like early EQ, where you could actually go backwards and lose a level. No-one wants to compare month-on-month or year-on-year and see they have fewer readers than before. <br /><br />We probably need to keep a rough eye on the stats just in case anything weird shows up but I do think it's best kept well in the background.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-78188537494231615222020-04-03T10:28:35.133+01:002020-04-03T10:28:35.133+01:00Ahh yes! I remember from your comment thinking it ...Ahh yes! I remember from your comment thinking it would be nice to hear your origin story again, because at the time I couldn't recall it. But the moment I started reading the first few words of your recounting it all came back to me. :)<br /><br />I still love it that you started off as a commentor, I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem to be a very frequent path. It seems to me, at least, that most new bloggers come in fairly out of the blue.<br /><br />In any case, good advice as always. I can't agree enough with the idea of putting the numbers, the social metrics, the side-stuff as it were to... well, the side, and just focus on it for yourself. <br /><br />It's not wrong or bad to be interested in those things; but especially while starting out, focusing your energy on them can be more damaging than helpful.Naithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.com
