You want visitors to come back to your site.
And in most cases they don’t.
But, what if I could show you a quick series of tweaks that you can make to your blogs layout which would fix the problem?
Does it sound too good to be true?
I used to think so too until I started making these exact small tweaks.
Sooner after, more visitors were sticking around for longer and they were coming back.

Now the sidebar, I couldn't get rid of that. But the things on it are minimal - so is my main navigation.

There is one page I think I might actually remove the sidebar from. If it doesn't feel right afterwards, I could always add it back.

It's all about user experience and if you're allowing your users to get distracted, overwhelmed, and frustrated... what do you expect? They will likely not come back. Keep it simple, clean, and to the point. Don't complicate and let them focus on what you have to say so that they may do what you ask them to do in order to help the achieve the result they are looking for.
Great post Adam!!!

That's it exactly - user experience is where is where the focus needs to be if we want to achieve our goals.
I had a quick look at your site and I like how you've got everything laid out. Keeping it clean and concise looks to be working very well for you. It shows with the great engagement you get on your posts.
Thanks!

It's all about adopting a similar approach to building landing pages. Minimizing the number of actions/choices you're giving to visitors with the aim of increasing conversions.
For the social media points, it's more about increasing subscribers, purely because nobody can take your email list away from you.
But, as we've seen from Facebook - they've effectively pulled the rug right from beneath businesses that have invested millions in building an engaged community.
Haha, yes! The sidebar is one of those points where you have to evaluate on a case by case basis.
So, for example, I'm doing a re-design right now where I'll end up removing the sidebar for particular posts.
Certain posts where I offer exclusive content to subscribers will go to single column.
I have an archives page which I'll be moving to my main navigation bar and the blog link has a dropdown to find the different categories.
