Internet marketing legend Corey Rudl is dead

When I checked my e-mail inbox today I noticed e-mails from some of the top people in the internet marketing world with some shocking subject lines - Corey Rudl has died...

Corey died yesterday when the Porsche he was riding in crashed at a racetrack near where he raced.

Corey Rudl was one of the top gurus/experts in the internet marketing field. He produced popular products that taught people how to build a successful online business. He shared his success with others and he was admired by many people.

I had a lot of respect for him and he was one of the people in the internet marketing world that I looked up to. I've wanted to meet Corey for a while but never had the chance. I was also hoping to even do a joint venture with him... But now that'll never happen :(

I'm still shocked. Although I didn't know him personally this has a great impact on the internet marketing world - I was looking forward to see what new products he was going to develop, what new tricks he was going to teach us... This only shows us how fragile life is. Don't take anything for granted.

Corey was only 34.

He will be missed.

My condolences to his family and friends.

[ Update: Ken Calhoun has set up a website as a tribute to Corey: RememberCorey.com ]
