Well, if you USE it that is!

The news of Corey Rudl’s death on Thursday 2nd June 2005 came at me like a bolt out of the blue. Like millions of others I am sure, I too learned a great deal from this master of internet marketing and it’s a great tragedy that he was taken from us at such an early age (34). Corey was one of the first people ON THE PLANET to start an affiliate program. Last year his company made over $7 Million all from Internet marketing related activities.
The Legend Lives On
It is testament to Corey’s true pioneering vision that even now his business systems are still operating, emailing people automatically and turning the cogs of his perpetual money machine. It was quite eerie when I opened my Inbox on Friday 3rd June, the day after his death, to find an email from him promoting his latest product. The man practically invented half of what you see on many a sales page and opt-in page across the Internet.
Live Fast, Die Young
It wasn’t too surprising that Corey, a great pioneer and pusher of boundaries, was killed in a race track accident whilst pushing the physical boundaries of speed, man and machine. Corey will be missed by many but his methods and teachings have forever shaped the Internet landscape and I too would like to pay testament to his exceptional knowledge. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if it were not for Corey Rudl. Rest in peace.

Outsourcing is being talked about as the ‘next big thing’ though in reality it’s been around for years!
The simple idea behind it, is that instead of spending hours trying to do something yourself (particularly when it isn’t your specialism) you get someone from outside to do it for you.
Now the expensive route to doing this might be to take on a member of staff on a full-time or part-time basis. You might even want to consider using a local recruitment agency to fill your needs.
But the only difficulty with that route is that it’s fairly inflexible - what if you have a very small project you need assistance on or you just need an ‘extra pair of hands’ for a couple of hours? Then what?
Looking At The Bigger Picture
The beauty of the Internet is that there are literally thousands of people with expertise all over the world who are just waiting for the right piece of work to come along. These super-nerds can do anything for your website from build a shopping cart to create a new database of content for you.
But even better than that is that you can also outsource the menial, dead easy stuff too and free up your time to grow your business. You can use an outsourcing website to find someone who will:
- Write articles for you
- Create new products for you
- Build / redesign your website
- Create new pieces of software
- ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF!!!
It’s As Easy As R - A - C
Rentacoder.com (or RAC as people there refer to it) is an excellent site that uses the Ebay-type format - only the bids are for projects.
As the business owner you create a spec for what it is you want to get achieved and then ‘coders’ place bids on doing the work. And these guys are from all over the world! You can get bids from Romania, US, Thailand and beyond!
The great thing is you can check the history of each individual and, just like Ebay, previous buyers can pass comments on the ‘goods delivered’ so you never (in theory) choose the wrong coder.
And don’t let the name put you off - it’s not just coding you can use the site for - marketing, content creation, article-writing - you name it, it’s all there!
