Minamalistic doesn't work on the web. There are too many other choices that catch the idea. Try giving your blog an aristocratic look or one that fits the theme (i.e. finance - stock exchange )

Some of the best sites I've been to have been short, sweet and simple, many people with this new era in the internet age have shorter and shorter attention spans and thus looking through a gorgeous site can be tedious. In regards to your site doctor S, there just isn't enough to grab the eye. You have your blog front page and only 1 menu option...too stark. Also, IMHO it shouldn't be through 'the View' of anything, it should be through 'the eyes of.' Content is there from what I've browsed through, but it's not enough for my eye to grab on to.

If its just 1...then GOOD virtual goods. I mean it all comes back to content...as all 3 are are dependent on good content.

Vanessa, why do you say content by far? Look at Facebook, Google, or Brazen Careerist - No content, but aggregates other content.
Vanessa Alvarado:
It's my most valuable digital asset because I'm paid as a writer. And because it's the fun part for me.

I'm curious - what would you all consider your most valuable digital asset: user database information, traffic, content - something else?
Kelley Boone:

Content because if it's good and relevant it will bring people back. Traffic, because if you want to attract advertisers you have to have enough traffic to make it worth your advertiser's investment.

I'm interested in how to monetize a blog. I'm new to it, but feel I'm off to a great start with www.cornonthejob.com So, where do I start?
Benjamin Kuker:
1)Get help-others who can contribute. 2)Promote-Look for niche social sites. 3)Consistency! If you start missing, you start losing audience.

Im still a huge fan of Linkedin's three-tiered model. What are some other successful models?
Dan Reich:
Companies are now starting to look at "data" as an independent source of revenue. More specifically, cookie data.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself an expert. But I can certainly provide a Community Manager's opinion on monetizing.

We haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to making money from online businesses. Anyone breaking new ground? New revenue models?
