As you know, I’ve been a user, supporter and promoter of IMC’s products for over a decade, so it was a shock when I read this morning that as of next Friday, Derek Gehl – who along with the late Corey Rudl grew the Internet Marketing Center from a $25 investment into $100 MILLION in online sales – is retiring as CEO.

Apparently, he’s been planning this move for some time, preferring to follow his passion for working the front lines to sitting in a corner office.

As a “fond farewell” to his clients and colleagues, Derek has just launched the lastest version of “Insider Secrets” which is now being delivered entirely online.

That’s right. They’ve replaced the 2 massive binders with an easily accessible course (that also includes training videos) that can be revised on the fly and course owners will be notified by email each time a revision is made to the course. So, as long as you have access to the Internet, you can learn how to start and grow your successful business… anywhere, anytime. Good move!

I wish Derek all the best and suspect this won’t be the last we’ll hear from him. To learn more IMC’s new online course, visit “Insider Secrets” and signup for more info.

Mark your calendars! On Monday June 14th at 4PM Pacific (7PM Eastern) Derek Gehl and I will be getting on the horn to discuss affiliate marketing from the perspectives of both merchants and affiliates.

Derek has promised to share his strategies to building one of the most powerful affiliate programs in the world and I’ll tell you what I’m doing now to earn even more as an affiliate.

And just in case you’ve never heard of Derek Gehl (is that possible?), Derek is the former president of the “Internet Marketing Challenge” who also worked closely with Corey Rudl, founder and CEO of the “Internet Marketing Center“. Derek took the reigns at IMC following Corey’s untimely death in June 2005. Derek is also Entrepreneur.com’s “E-Business” columnist.

Although this call is for members of IMC’s Internet Entrepreneur Club which features a monthly Strategic planning call with Derek plus exclusive access to his latest Internet Marketing research and proven strategies.

But don’t worry if you’re not already a member of the IEC. Derek has agreed to give you access to the club through a $2.95 trial membership.

So, sign up today to listen in on Monday’s call as Derek Gehl and I spill the beans!
