Ken McCarthy has released an audio titled “Would you give up a successful, high-paying career in corporate America to become an Internet marketer?”

Ken McCarth’s latest email is reprinted here:

Talk about a disconnect…

For some reason, the guru e-mails I’m getting these days – yes, I read some of them too – seem even more out of touch with reality than normal.

Have you noticed it too?

From reading them, you’d never guess that some parts of the world are in a recession…the financial system appears to be teetering on collapse…and a lot of people are really struggling.

Yet on they go, blathering about quick riches and the “Internet lifestyle.”

Granted, the change has been pretty quick.

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday when anyone could walk into a real estate office – no down payment, no income verification, no nothing – and walk out with the deed to new home?

Euphoria has turned to caution…if not downright worry and even fear.

Speaking of which, can you imagine anyone leaving a great career and high paying job with a top company to voluntarily become an Internet marketing “newbie?”

Yet that’s exactly what Kristie McDonald did.

Why would anyone do that?

Well, Kristie had a good head start.

Instead of getting caught on the “guru merry-go-round,” the very first Internet marketing seminar she went to was the System Seminar.

Now just a few years later she operates a successful online catalog and fellow entrepreneurs are coming to her for advice on online marketing and SEO (search engine optimization.)

One of my favorite sayings is “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”

In other words, especially in times like these it’s important…no, make that e-s-s-e-n-t-i-a-l to work to make forward progress.

History shows that – if you know what you’re doing – tough times are a good time to start a business.

Kristie and I talk about making money online…why a good business of your own is better than a great job…and the fastest way to get started on the right foot.

The System Seminar

[email with the subject:Now what?]

     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. Ken McCarthy is associated with the following blogs: Ken McCarthy’s Blog, System Video Blog and Internet Video Marketing Letter
