Dropping the stethoscope for the blog

On July 21, 2008 / By Imnakoya / In Blogosphere, Media

My Son, the Blogger: An M.D. Trades Medicine for Apple Rumors.” This is title of the NYT article of the guy who hung his stethoscope for his blog.

A question Dr. Kim often fields from friends and associates is, “How does that make money?” He answered the question in an entry on his personal blog last month. It can all be “boiled down to one simple accomplishment: building traffic,” he wrote. “That’s it. If you have a site that attracts a lot of visitors, you will be able to make money. On the Internet, traffic equals power, which subsequently equals money.”

  1. After having a blog for too long without a list of links, I’ve finally put up a ‘Web Readings’ section on the side bar of http://www.ugandascarlettlion.blogspot.com and I’ve linked to you.

    Thanks!
