About Us
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
– Mark Twain

Company History
The Internet Marketing Center was founded in 1996 by world-renowned online marketing expert Corey Rudl. A pioneer of unconventional marketing techniques and strategies adapted to the online medium, Corey worked as an Internet marketing consultant until the demand for his services became too great to fulfill.
To share his expert knowledge with a wider audience, Corey created the best-selling Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet course - and the Internet Marketing Center.
When Derek Gehl joined the company in his early 20s, he was eager to work with - and be mentored by - the Internet marketing legend Corey Rudl. Corey was impressed with Derek’s accomplishments with his private Internet community.
Derek was quickly offered a key role at IMC, where he continued to work closely with Corey to build the company into the thriving enterprise that it is today.
Tragically, in June 2005, Corey passed away, stunning the entire Internet marketing community. The company and community mourned the loss of a great leader, mentor, and friend.
To continue Corey’s dream of helping others achieve their potential, and with the support of Corey’s family, Derek stepped in as Chief Executive Officer of IMC - continuing Corey’s legacy of making Internet millionaires.
Under Derek’s guidance, the Internet Marketing Center continues to thrive. With gross annual revenues exceeding $19 million, the company is now home to over 100 employees - and has become the most comprehensive source of expert up-to-the-minute Internet marketing strategies and resources tailor-made for the small- and home-based business owner.
The Internet Marketing Center’s leading-edge strategies and resources continue to help thousands of people start Internet businesses of their own, using the same strategies responsible for the Internet Marketing Center’s success.

What a great website! It is well designed, easy to read and even easier to find what you are looking for. Candidly, it is tempting to steal your design but I won’t do that because it is simply not right.
However, you have given me more great ideas in one sitting than I have received almost anywhere else.
The site is brilliant, all inclusive, and well designed. What more could one ask?
All my best,
Paul Curtis
I like your helpful information. I’m still confused about what to actually do. I guess I’m not familiar with some of the methods described. I realize I am going to have to do some more research, but it’s tough to find free information that actually goes into detail about GETTING TRAFFIC TO MY WEBSITE. I can’t even get my website to show up even when I type in very specific things like “derek kimball graphic design smyrna tn”??? How are other sites coming up before me with an overly specific search like that? Another problem i’m having is that my old pages are showing up rather than my updated site (same url)? This is all to confusing.
Hi Andy
Your wife was right? My wife gives me the same lectures? And for some reason the women in our lives seem to have a sixth sence about sucess..
Good luck with your vwnture and Perhaps I may join you, however I am a very successful busines analyst for a National company and do a lot of traveling to Companies in the US

Hi Andy,
I love the site, information, and the oppy to make money on-line. However, I am interested in investing in BeBiz. My concern is not being able to get my questions answered when I need assistance. I am a new member and I have not been able to get any of my questions answered without having to go to a blog. To be honest, I don’t have the time to read the blogs listed by people searching for similar answers. What is the best way to get support and my questions answered in a timely manner?
Thanks.
When you offered the free video seminar on BeBiz I tried to sign up….5 TIMES.
I got no response. The fact that there seems to be no way to contact you except through this process makes me hesitant to pursue any business connection with you. You were recommended by Rosalind Gardner. I let here know of my problem.
Hi Andy
We’re an all woman tech team that recently launched a pretty sweet (in our opinion) shopping widget at tinymassive.com. We’re hoping you might be nice and say some.. well nice things about it =)
Have a good one and thanks for taking the time to read this -
Kate

I was just wondering whether you have any advice.
In a nutshell, i don’t have a website at the moment but wish to start a BLOG which in about 2 months time i will link to my sales website (when that’s running).
With no current website, which is the best option for me, either BLOGSPOT or WORDPRESS? Thanks.
(IMC Team)
Worpress is out choice..
It’s a great way to start building interest for your product.
Best of luck
Dear IMC,
Would you please provide me with the name of someone I can call to check out my eBook, Specializing For Profit; my free report, Success Stories; and website with the key word, Specialization Profit. I’ve worked full time for three months building these and wish to have some direct feedback. I return to teaching in a week so I need to get everything automated ahead of time. Thank you for your support. On the Conference calls, other people state that they have a live contact to answer their questions at IMC.

I recently wrote a book called “Content Rich: Writing Your Way to Wealth on the Web,” and would love to have you guys review it on your blog, which I really enjoy reading. I can say that its definitely helped my business.
“Content Rich” is the definitive SEO copywriting guide for search engine rankings and sales conversion. It includes important topics not covered in other books on the subject and targets the small to medium sized business looking for ways to maximize online marketing activities as well as designers and web developers seeking to incorporate more SEO techniques into their design and content.
Some of the key benefits for readers of “Content Rich”:
• Shows in detail how to grow your online presence, acquire new customers and sell more products and services through the power of search engine optimized (SEO) copywriting.
• Examines ways to leverage the combined power of site, landing page, blog, article, email, newsletter, PPC ad and press release copywriting to give your business an edge vs. competitors.
• Discusses the future of online content and how to position your business to take full advantage.
• Includes information on how to write script copy for videos, pod casts and content for social media sites.
Here’s what copywriting guru Bob Bly said of Content Rich: “Content Rich: Writing Your Way to Wealth on the Web is, without a doubt, the most important copywriting book to be published this year. Every online marketer and copywriter can become more successful and make more money by mastering SEO copywriting, content writing, key word research, Web 2.0, social media, viral video, and the dazzling array of new traffic-generating tools available on the Internet today. No one teaches these disciplines better, from a copywriting standpoint, than Jon Wuebben. If you are serious about online marketing and copywriting, you absolutely must read every word of this book from cover to cover.”
In terms of my background, I am the Founder and President of Telegent Media, LLC and www.CustomCopywriting.com, one of the leading SEO web copywriting firms in the U.S. I have written content for hundreds of companies world wide, in every major industry, helping them to achieve greater search engine rankings and sales. I also speak about online copywriting to business groups and for other industry functions.
Could I send you a copy of the pre-publication version of “Content Rich” to review? Please let me know the address to send it to and I’ll make sure you get it right away.
Again, it would be great to have you take a look at the book and blog about it. In return, I would love to help you out in any way I can with reviews of your products or services on my blog, http://contentrichbook.com/blog/. With 10K copies in the first printing, my book will be distributed nationwide and be available in all major book retailers. We have a $50K marketing budget in place and a nationally known publicist on board as well.
In addition to Bob’s blurb above, we have also received positive praise from Andy Beal, (Marketing Pilgrim), Brian Tracy, Joe Vitale, Al Ries and many others in the marketing and search marketing fields.
We feel confident we can get 5K+ subscribers to the Content Rich blog within the first 3-4 months, so any visibility you get there will be increased in the near future! In addition, if you find the book would sell well with your subscribers, perhaps you’d like to sign on as an affiliate, making 30% on all sales? I’d be happy to do the same for you on my blog with your books or programs. I could also offer a subscription link to your blog on www.ContentRichBook.com, so visitors on my blog could easily check out your blog as well.
I really appreciate your time.
Thanks very much for your consideration!
Sincerely,
Jon
