He was killed instantly.
Corey died as he lived - going full out and holding nothing back. You might know that Corey was a marketing genius. You might have bought one of his products or visited his site. He was one of the very first people on the planet to build an affiliate program, and he was the first to apply many offline DM methods to online marketing. You might not know that Corey was married only recently. Corey was only 34. Please take a moment to pray for Corey's wife and extended family. If you would like to send a card or your condolences to his family or staff the address is: 1123 Fir Ave Blaine, WA 98230 And please take a moment out of your day to tell your own family how very much you love them, and then keep doing that every day for the rest of your life. We'll miss you Corey. Sincerely, Helena Ericson
Frankly, I thought this was so unreal. So I checked his marketingtips.com
site and called their main office ...but sure enough the office was closed. Corey Rudl has played a very significant role in my own marketing education. Corey was always light years ahead of everybody else. He was one of the first people on the planet to build an affiliate program, and he was the first to apply many offline Direct Marketing methods to online marketing. Heck, I think he invented the unstoppable POP-UP before people knew what a pop-up was. Corey was a very high-bandwidth guy - you could just hear it in his voice whenever he spoke. He has taught thousands his good, solid brand of Internet Marketing, and was - and will remain - a legend. He was just 34 and recently married to the love of his life - Tracy back in the fall. You remember ? The wedding of the century held out in Orange County, CA last September I think. Please join me in a time of mourning and grief and prayer for Corey Rudl, his family, and all people involved. A great one was taken from our midst - say a prayer won't you today? That God will make each day count from this day forward! People, Life is short - do what you love. Don't wait - for there may not be another tomorrow. Sincerely, Christopher Johnson
I only met Corey once, in fact it was only a few
weeks ago. He came up to me at a seminar and introduced himself. That was an honor, because Corey played a very significant role in my own marketing education, especially in the early years. His was the first "Internet Marketing" product I ever bought, back in 1998 if memory serves. I learned a lot from his email newsletter, and many practices he pioneered are standard today. He was one of the very first people on the planet to build an affiliate program, and he was the first to apply many offline DM methods to online marketing. All of us will miss him. I hope you'll take a moment of silence to be thankful for the influence of an industry leader, and to remember the brevity of life. It is precious. If you would like to send his family or staff your condolences, the address is 1123 Fir Ave Blaine, WA 98230 Sincerely, Perry Marshall
He has taught thousands his good, solid brand of Internet
Marketing, and was - and will remain - a legend. He was 34, and just recently married. Please join us in grief and positive prayer for Corey Rudl, his family, and all people involved. A great one is taken. Life is short - do what you love. Corey was passionate about racing. Sincerely, Ted Ciuba
This makes you realize once more that you should count your blessings and enjoy each day.
It could all be over tomorrow... I am sure you will join with me in offering sincere condolences to his family and friends. Paul Hendrix
I was especially shocked because Corey and I were
swapping online business strategies at Yanik Silver's Underground Online Marketing Seminar about a month ago. I also interviewed him for an article that has seen wide online circulation. But Corey's online success is behind him now. Sadly, he also leaves behind a wife he recently married. Tragedies remind us of what's really important. In the final analysis, what really count in life aren't our bank balances, material possessions, or social status. What really count are the intangible things. Things that price tags can't be put on. If there's one advantage to a successful online business, is that it can give us more time and freedom to pursue more important things in life... But it's up to us to choose to pursue them. P.S. To read the article where I interviewed Corey or to learn about his past e-business success, search Google for "Marty Foley + Corey Rudl", without quotes. http://ProfitInfo.com http://AdwordsMaximizer.com
Corey was a mentor to millions of people world wide and he will
be greatly missed. I know I personally feel a heaviness in my heart as Corey was and always will be one of the most influential marketers ever known. I am sad taht I never got the chance to meet him personally and that I opted to not go to his last seminar, I had no idea it would be his last. Please take a moment to say a prayer for his family and close friends. If you would like to send any condolences to his family or staff please use this address: 1123 Fir Ave Blaine, WA 98230
It's taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted
to write to you all. Something has to be said though. It's hard to sort through the multitude of thoughts and memories that are bouncing around in my head right now, starting with the absolute shock that I felt when I read Jim Boere's newsletter this morning and heard about the death of Corey Rudl. Years of memories, starting with becoming an affiliate, so long ago - or so it seems now, the money that I've made, the lessons that I've learned, the arguments I've had with his staff (always amicably resolved though), and the deals that we've made and the ones that we tried to put together. There is no sense to be made of this loss, to Corey's family, to those who worked with him, to those who knew him, to those who learned his lessons, to the internet as a whole. It's one of those times where you shake your head and say, 'why?'. He does leave behind a legacy though, one that will endure for years to come, the well deserved legacy of a man who not only talked the talk, but walked the walk as well. There are lessons all through our life, and lessons to be learned from Corey's untimely death as well. THERE IS NO TOMORROW - it's always today, no matter what day it is. While we can PLAN for tomorrow, we can't wait for it, because it may never come. Every morning that we wake up is a great start to any day, make the most of it before it becomes yesterday. Don't put things off till tomorrow, it starts as only one thing, then becomes a habit, and finally a mindset. This doesn't just apply to the internet, or marketing, or anything in particular. This is a life lesson. What becomes of your wife, your husband, your children, your friends, your business, even your pets, if you don't wake up tomorrow? If it happened to you, and you were still able to look down and view what you had left behind, what would you wish that you had done before you had gone? SO DO IT - NOW! Whether it's that trip to Fiji, making a business decision, watching a movie, getting life insurance, eating an exotic food, or telling your significant other or a family member that you love them. DO IT - NOW. There is no tomorrow. Regardless of what it is, if it needs to be done - do it now. That's the immutable law of the unexpected - you can't plan for it. It just happens - today, not tomorrow. Corey Rudl - Rest in Peace. You will be remembered by many. My condolences to his family, friends, co-workers, students and peers. Though we can never take away the pain that you're feeling, may there be some small comfort in knowing that there are many that feel the void, the vacuum that his passing has left. Regards, Stuart Halpryn http://netactivated.com P.S. Feel free to pass my thoughts on as and to whom you see fit, but please include my signature at the end.
If you read The NINJI Letter you know that Corey was one of my mentors. His marketing articles and methods helped to change how people make money on the internet. His was a success story that will live on in the pages of internet marketing history.
With Extreme Sadness, David Rollins
I did not know Corey personally, all I know is that he
was a well-known online marketer. One thing I do know, is... life is very fleeting, and tomorrow's never guaranteed. Not for you... not for me... not for anyone. If I'm honest about it, sometimes I work W-A-A-A-Y too many hours and I neglect the things I shouldn't be neglecting, like my family. But I think I'll take the rest of this weekend off. Why don't you follow my lead and do the same thing -- it really is O.K., and... you'll thank me for it on Monday. Don't sell anything today -- just relax. Read a book.... kiss your partner... go lay down and take a nap... or, give your kids a big hug, and bury your face down inside the soft warm crook of their necks, and smell their smell. I know I will. Have a good one. Craig Garber KingOfCopy.com P.S. If you know someone else who should relax today, forward them this e-mail message. Do it for both of you.

Today, I wake up, grab my laptop in bed, and I get
an email. "Shocking News - Did you see this?" So the first thing I did was get on messenger with my friend Michael Rasmussen to confirm and it was true. Then I went to the warrior forum and there were 9 threads and hundreds of replies. My heart sunk. I will not claim to have known Cory, to have met him, or to have spoken to him. All we had was a replies in 1 thread about ClickBank a few months ago in a forum. I am sure he never heard of me. But I will say that I admired Cory and my goal was to learn everything I could about him. I started to model him from a course I purchased from him. I was going to model is affiliate programs. I planned on studying him for years to come. It was weird, because I had heard of him for a long time, but my ego would not let me buy from him. Then when I did, I put in his models and strategies and I saw instant results. Cory started I think in 1997 and pioneered ebooks and sequential email and affiliate programs. He was a step ahead and one you would want to learn from. You are blessed to have been a customer of his as their will not be many more chances to learn from him. *** Why I titled this 'Perspective' **** Well, as you may know, since Tuesday my site InstantBuzz.com has been down and I have been working 24/7 to get it back up. So many good members have been so supportive. We should be back up later today or tomorrow. If you want that story go here http://www.1sitemanager.com/helpdesk/ But I woke up in a bad mood over this fiasco, and all woe is me. Then I got slapped in the face with a reality check when I heard a real tragedy today. It really put things in perspective for me. I am signing off the PC today after I try to get some IB things done. I encourage all of you to do the same and go spend time with your families today. Call your: Mom Dad Sister/Brother Kids and tell them you love them. Go enjoy the day away from the PC - God Bless Cory Rudl and may he rest in peace with the Lord. My hearts and prayers go out to his friends and family and this time. You will be missed Cory :-( Mike Filsaime P.S. - If you want to share your thoughts and feelings about this with other members today, please do so here: http://www.replytomike.com/indexgb.htm Please no signature files today with your post. Let this be a tribute to Cory. I will try to to get this to his family later next week.
I'm saddened and my condolences to his wife
and family, and I hope your prayers will be with them too. Life is fragile and in the words of a famous song, you "don't know what you've got till it's gone". Corey's passion for life and his work is something we can all take a page from. Treasure your life, family and give thanks for what you've now, live the moment. The moment is yours now. Ewen
Corey was a mentor to millions of people world wide and he will
be greatly missed. I know I personally feel a heaviness in my heart as Corey was and always will be one of the most influential marketers ever known. Till Next Time, OD Ntuk
I'm shocked and I couldn't believe the story until I saw
those news clippings. Even after seeing the clips, I still hope that the news be a hoax. "We miss you Corey" Let God rest his soul in peace and give strength to his family and friends to take them through this tragedy. -- Raam Anand
It's really sad to see such a talented individual leave
the world like that… For the rest of us, do offer a moment of silence and prayer. May his soul rest in peace Raamakant S.
Hi Thalia,
I'm writing to you to give you a quick update to questions that you and others have asked me in regards to Corey Rudl. In particular, those interested in sending notes and messages to the family of Corey Rudl are asked to do so THIS WEEK and send them to the following address: Internet Marketing Center c/o Family and Friends of Corey Rudl 400-1155 West Pender Street Vancouver, BC V6E2P4 I also saw on their IMC website a very fitting tribute to Corey. You can view it here: http://www.marketingtips.com In regards to funeral arrangements, all funeral and memorial services for Corey Nicholas Rudl will be held in his home town of Vancouver, BC. Corey's family will have his funeral sometime later this week. But, there will also be planned for NEXT Week a general memorial service which FAMILY AND FRIENDS can attend to pay their respects if they wish. When speaking with their headquarters at IMC, it was suggested that messages and notes be sent to the family ASAP. All those messages and notes will be given to the family and probably posted on a website maybe (not sure on this) by next week. I hope to have the details on the general memorial service that all can attend if they wish when those details are available. Thalia to tell you the truth, I'm still in denial that this ever happened. The Internet Marketing world has lost a great friend, mentor and inspiration for the entrepreneurs who strive to have their own business. I will miss him alot... Best regards, Christopher
Hey there Blogger, What a great post! Blogging has become such a 'must do' in online marketing that I am a little embarassed to say I haven't even started my own as yet. Hence this is why I am here putting in my two cents on your blog Sad Farewell to Corey Rudl. I've been searching for viral scripts related blogs to get a feel for how this blogging is done and in my search I ran across your blog. While our interest may not be an exact match I couldn't help but take the time to read your posts and found it a breath of fresh air. You have really articulated, very well I might add, some of the thoughts I've had on my mind for quite a while. Even though viral scripts is my forte I'll be back to read future posts. Your post makes for great reading. Thanks!
