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.
