A Great Loss - Big Ticket Internet Marketer Corey Rudl

Corey Rudl (1971- 2005)

On Thursday morning, June 2nd, 2005, Corey Rudl died in a car crash, while riding as a passenger, at the California Speedway in Fontana.  You can read some of the news reports here:

Now, if you don’t know who Corey Rudl was let me just pass on a few things about him.

• Corey had more than 40 Million in Internet Sales including 7.6 Million last year.
• He is most well known for his sites http://www.marketingtips.com and http://www.secretstotheirsuccess.com
• He was the President and CEO of The Internet Marketing Center located in Blaine, WA (about 2 hours from where I live)
• He had many bestselling products but is probably best known for the “Insiders Secrets To Marketing Your Business on The Internet” and more recently the “Accelerated Internet Wealth” Series. (I own both of these and can recommend them to you)

Corey also ran a mentoring program and was the creator of many software tools to help internet marketers.

Now, I did not know Corey personally but I loved what he shared through his courses.  He had a way of explaining concepts and information in a way that made it very easy for people to learn and put into action.

e.g. In his Insiders Secrets course which comes in 2 overflowing binders.  In Part 1, Corey explained “The Basics & Necessities” and in Part 2, he explained “Advanced Techniques.  And he really did.  The first part is designed to get someone totally new to the internet marketing business up to speed quickly and easily.  And for those who are more advanced, there were always a bunch of nuggets in part 2.

Also, Corey’s passion was easy to see in the DVDs which make up his Accelerated Internet Wealth series. It was contagious.  It made you want to learn and to take the necessary steps to succeed.

Probably the most unfortunate thing was that Corey was so young.  At age 34 he had so much life ahead of him and he was also just recently married to Tracy last fall.

I feel saddened by Corey’s passing even though I never met him personally.  I learned a lot from him.  My sincerest sympathies to his family and to Tracy.  He will be remembered by the many people who’s lives he has touched directly or through his courses.
