Can’t agree more on your statement. Proper social media campaign and SEOing of your site can really make your great content (your king) stand out from the crowd. A good content needed to be promoted for it to become viral.

Feels like it will be a good topic too. A well rounded blog! It just means that it was well surrounded by social media and links wherein you can get your content out of the mainstream.

Rounded Blog – it really makes sense Eric.

Eric » That really is a pretty good line. Did you just make that up? That is very catchy and very true.

I was just browsing your blog a bit after already posting two comments here today.

I agree with you.

Content is certainly great to have but you also need a place that looks good to share it with people and you need to be able to connect with them.

Having a blog that is well rounded will roll further than a blog that is flat or is square. Hey, that’s a pretty good line! LOL.

scheng1 –> Exactly. Content needs to be supported by an amazing design and an author with influence.

Content is first and foremost. A blog cannot exist without content, even though it can exist without much traffic.
Just that a country is not a country with only one person living in the country. Content is a useless king if there’s no promotion.

I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while, well, I have to be honest, I’ve been thinking about this since I’m a blogger. I red several books on blogging (one of those was problogger, which I red at least 3 times). And I reached the same conclusion as you stated above-> Successful Blog= Content+Design(clean, well organized, easy navigation for the readers)+Influence(above all regarding social media). I would add: +building community(many and good quality comments). Well, if we want to succeed with our respective blogs we have to work hard on these 4 points. Just as Nicholas does. You Nicholas are the best example to illustrate what we are talking here about.

This article made me think, because I’d like to do a good job with my blog (like every blogger), but I realize how much I need to improve my work on my blog, and to do so I will have to renew my commitment to my readers. But, thanks to you and to other great bloggers now we know in what aspects we have to focus on: Content first (of course); Design; Influence; and my own contribution Building community.

Thanks a lot Nicholas for this amazing post!

Yes Bruce you’re absolutely right, with a good design he would be where he is now, but maybe it would take him less time.

We have to keep in mind that his blog has a very special kind of readers, I mean, he has a very specific blog niche.

Robomaster –> Exactly! You might as well store that amazing content in the attic because it isn’t going to do any good in front of a blogging audience of 0. We’ve got to build up all the areas of our site.
