I was interested in learning about some of the widely successful internet
marketers. I found a website (http://michaelhaupt.com/marketing-legends-hall-of-fame/#online)that
includes biographies of many internet marketing legends. I am sharing the first one I read. I will share others in future posts.
Biography of Corey Rudl - 1970-2005
Corey
Rudl was the founder and President of the The Internet Marketing Center and MarketingTips.com. A
world-renowned Internet marketing expert, Corey was a successful author and
speaker, as well as a leading e-business strategist and software producer.
Corey
unexpectedly passed away while enjoying another of his passions in life --
car-racing -- on Thursday, June 2, 2005. His tragic death at the age of 34 was
an incredible shock to his family and friends, and to the online community
around the world, where Corey was widely respected as an innovator and a
trail-blazer who had led thousands to find success of their own.
A
pioneer of e-commerce on the Internet, Corey started his first online business
in 1994 with just $25 in start-up capital. He successfully turned that small
investment into a multi-million-dollar business by effectively pioneering
results-driven Internet marketing strategies.
Attracted
by his evident success, business owners in great numbers began seeking Corey
out to learn more about his philosophies and the methods he created. In
response to this demand, Corey founded The Internet Marketing Center, which is now a multi-million-dollar
corporation that shares its Internet marketing strategies and software
solutions with countless entrepreneurs and businesses worldwide.
Corey
was considered one of the most effective Internet marketing experts anywhere.
He made his name teaching "real world" techniques and strategies that
stemmed directly from his own everyday experiences of working in the trenches,
where he came face-to-face with both educational failures and extraordinary
successes.
Corey
maintained his success by testing new strategies on a daily basis. He developed
the ability to forecast market trends and predict (if not create) the
"next big" success strategy. As a result of these accomplishments,
his Internet Marketing course, "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business
on the Internet," is one of the most successful and useful "How
To" guides in print today.
Used by
tens of thousands of small businesses worldwide, and currently in its third
edition, this 1,000+ page comprehensive Internet marketing guide has been
deemed by many circles the "Internet Marketing Bible."
Corey
became a featured speaker at conferences in Australia, the U.K., Asia, and
throughout North America, and he consistently drew rave reviews. He shared the
stage with marketing experts like Jay Abraham, Paul Hartunian, Jim and Audri
Lanford, Jim Sterne, and Declan Dunn.
Corey’s
articles were published in top industry publications, including
Entrepreneur.com, The U.S. Small Business Administration’s SCORE.org, The
Direct Marketing Association, MarketingProfs, Opportunity World, Money ‘N
Profits, Dig-IT Now, and Home Business Journal. Corey was a leader in the
Internet marketing industry, consistently developing practical, cost-effective
Internet Marketing strategies and software for businesses of all sizes.
His
innovative software solutions and marketing recommendations drew over 1.8
million unique visitors to his web sites every month and generated over $6.6
million every year.
For
Corey, however, true success was measured by the thousands of e-business owners
worldwide who use his methods to successfully build, manage, and grow their own
profitable online ventures.
Corey's
impact on the people who run these businesses was huge. Nowhere is this more
evident than in the sentiments expressed in the hundreds of messages left at www.remembercorey.com -- a memorial web site set up by one
of Corey's loyal customers, Ken Calhoun.
It is
fitting that The Internet
Marketing Center chose the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship to be the recipient of a donation of $90,000made in Corey's memory in October, 2005.
The NFTE
is an organization that helps young people from low-income communities improve
their business, academic, and life skills through entrepreneurship education.
Corey's legacy also lives on at IMC. Inspired by his passion and
desire to succeed, we have continued to grow this thriving company, dedicated
to releasing industry-leading Internet marketing strategies and tools.
