Ken McCarthy has announced ‘A unique contest for Internet marketers – find your passion’.

A unique contest for Internet marketers – find your passion

I had a talk today with a colleague today about the power of the System formula…

Traffic + Conversion = Profits (or Cash)

He says he’s used this formula to clear $9 million in annual sales and he’s looking forward to an even better year once he “re-tools” a bit.

As important as that formula is there’s another one that may be even more important.

I call it the 4 Ps.

Passion about your Prospects and Products leads to Profit…

I bring this up because not long ago, one of the gurus wrote a long piece about how you don’t need passion to build a successful business. Just run the numbers and go with the biggest dollars. Period.

Say what?!

What drugs is this guy on?

To tell people that PASSION is not essential to build a business has to rank as some of the worst business advice I’ve ever heard.

There my be a few twisted, malformed souls out there who only care about piling up money and don’t care how they do it – good, bad or ugly – but most NORMAL, healthy people do best when they are doing something they believe in.

And the deeper the belief – or passion – the better.

Lately, I’ve seen this “forget your passion” message cropping in various places on the Internet.

Before it spreads any further – unquestioned – like a disease, I’d like to raise the question.

Does passion matter in business?

I’d love to know what you think about this.

And I’d also like to know what your particular passion is.

Go to the link below, click on it and let me know.

By doing this, you’ll be entering yourself into a unique contest.

On April 21, select members of the System 2008 faculty and I will pick a winner and if you win we’ll do a full blown profit potential analysis of your passion, a $500 value for free.

Full contest rules here:

P.S. Of course, passion alone is not enough.

You need prospects, products and a system that creates profits.

Can you turn every passion into a profitable business?

No.

That’s why as a System student, we teach you how to analyze the profit potential of a niche market before you enter it.

But to throw your passion out before you even begin your marketing search?

That’s just dumb.

Answer the one question poll.

Tell your passion and if you’r entry is the luck winner, we’ll show you exactly what you need to do to turn it into a profitable business.

     Ken McCarthy

Ken McCarthy organized and sponsored the first conference ever held on the subject of the commercial potential of the World Wide Web. His company Amacord Inc., formerly E-Media, was one of the first Internet-based businesses in the world.

In addition to working with small and mid-sized business clients since 1993, McCarthy was a consultant to NEC’s Biglobe, the largest online service in Japan, from 1996 to 2001. His book The Internet Business Manual was the first book on web entrepreneurship published in that country. He is also credited by Hotwired magazine with being one of the people responsible for the development and popularization of the banner ad, one of the key underpinnings of commercial Internet publishing.

A graduate of Princeton University, McCarthy came to the Internet industry with a varied background which included technical consulting for two of New York’s top investment banks, lecturing on educational psychology at MIT, Columbia, and NYU, and founding and operating a number of small businesses, including one that helped produce an Academy Award winning documentary.
