Ryan Deiss is getting ready for the big launch of Digital Marketer Lab after a very successful promotion to his own list and a few pilot affiliates like me.
It starts with a focus of whether we are at the end of the web... as we currently know it.
Ryan is switching the way the ideas are presented as originally there was a long video (which is discussed below) but that will be changed to The End Of The Web report.

It's frustrating in that it makes much of what I've written below obsolete but it also demonstrates the big strength of Ryan Deiss and why you need to pay attention to him.
The statistics will have shown that people were exiting too early so the End of the Web video has become the End of the Web report.

End Of The Web Video
Have you seen the End of the Web video from Ryan Deiss?

It's a shocker!
I mean that in a nice way. Ryan makes some very interesting points about how technologies develop based on past patterns and shows that the Internet is followwing the same trends.
But faster.
And it's bad news for the little guy.
People like you and me who either make most of their money on the Internet or want to.
The big websites are dominating most of the traffic and their share is getting bigger.
Think about your own actions.
Do you use search engines as much as you used to or do you go straight to particular websites?
I know Amazon is where I look for many things I buy online because I trust them to give me a good price and service.
Ryan Deiss makes it clear that there will still be opportunities for us to make money but it's getting more difficult as more big companies get their acts together.
To succeed online from 2011 onwards, you need to be innovating or following up closely on what works now.
Not what worked in 2005.
Is the End of The Web Video Too Long?
I thought the End of the Web video was very interesting but it is 86 minutes long although that does include about 30 minutes of testimonials for Ryan Deiss (interesting stories from people who are putting Ryan's ideas into action.)
It is a test of stamina to keep watching a video for so long although I found the information compelling and I was interested to see what the solution was.

Some of you may feel the shock tactics are manipulative but sometimes we need to be shocked to take the action we need to take. The most effective advertisements against driving fast have been those that talk about the average effect of hitting a child at 20 mph (and he's OK), at 30 mph (and he's in hospital) and 40 mph (he's dead). It's the same with the drink driving and anti-smoking advertisements.
I think Ryan Diess is laying it on the line about how he sees the Internet changing.
I don't have any doubt that change is happening although I'm not sure that Google is going to turn its back on the little guys since it's a self service model of profit.
The Solution To "The End Of The Web"
Ryan Deiss has a solution to this problem he's making you aware of.
That solution is the Digital Marketer Lab
This is a training and information resource from Ryan where he shares with you what's working now.
Ryan heads an Internet marketing organisation with about 30 employees operating in many different niches and he's a big believer in testing and optimising.
He tries new ideas and keeps improving offers for sales and opt-ins until he finds what works best.
It's why I'm a big fan of his and I have been since about 3 years ago when he was little known and offered to give me access to his Total Access Club if I'd promote him. That membership has now been converted into the Digital Marketer Lab.
You can read more about it at my Digital Marketer Review.
Exit Pop-Up On The Video
There is an exit pop-up on the video if you try to leave and this gives you access to some extra videos from Ryan Deiss.
Are they worth watching?
Yes.
I like watching or listening Ryan explain his ideas. It includes a controversial video where Ryan shares the results of his price testing which shows that he's making more money by cutting price - you'll be surprised at what he did next and what happened.
What About Those People Selling Out-Of Date Internet "How To" Information?
I got this email from Ryan Deiss this morning which I thought was funny.
Subject: What a scarcity-minded jerk!
So the other day I released this controversial video about the 'Death of the Web'...
...and this guy sent me a SCATHING email because I 'dared' to go public with the proof that outdated internet marketing methods are DEAD.
I don't know him personally, but apparently his whole business is based on selling that same outdated marketing advice.
DOH!
He was FURIOUS because he knows a TON of buzz has been stirred up by this video and the word is getting out...
Go check out the video right now:
Video
Hey, I get it...
Most people don't have anything like my Digital Marketer team and the vast real world results we get from all the niche markets we're in.
So if this guy just didn't know his info products were out of date, that would be one thing.
But when someone KNOWS that what they are selling isn't working anymore and just wants to keep it a secret from his unsuspecting customers...
THAT is a scarcity minded jerk!
Guys like that can't understand why I'm revealing what's working or why I am letting people 'piggy back' on my Digital Marketer Lab results.
The good news is that guys like that will be left in the dust.
But don't let that happen to YOU.
What matters right now is that YOU get up to speed because if you don't YOUR business will STRUGGLE or FAIL.
More important...
The biggest money yet is going to be made from these new trends and I spell it all out for you in this video.
Get the whole story right now...

Talk soon,
Ryan Deiss
Here's another interesting email from Ryan Deiss about Digital marketer and responses to his "Death of the Web" video.
Subj: Is Now A Really Good Time To Start Your Online Business
Real quick today - I want to answer a question from a new reader:
"Ryan, if the web is dying, is now really a good time to start my online business?"
Yes! But only IF you start off in the right direction.
Let me explain...
The opportunity now is actually BIGGER today which I explain in detail HERE:
My Digital Marketer lab test results from multiple niche markets PROVE that you can make MORE money now - even in a 'bad economy'.
But you have to be going WITH the changes that are happening. This can be your own personal 'golden age'.
Why?
Info marketers actually make MORE money in a down economy because MORE people are looking for ANSWERS to their problems.
But, make SURE you aren't still using 'old' strategies, or you are doomed. My video explains why...
https://touchstone.infusionsoft.com/go/dmark/a271/
Old advice from just 12 to 24 months ago is truly dangerous.
Listen, I know things change so quickly now that you must be wondering HOW you could possibly keep up.
Well, I invest $200,000 a MONTH to run my Digital Marketing lab and our cutting edge test results allow me to ALWAYS be the first to know what's working.
Marketers who don't have access to this cutting edge info are literally flying blind.
Don't do anything until you see what I've just done for you.
I want to 'take you under my wing' and give you the same advantage if you are serious about your business.
Watch this video and you'll understand why...
https://touchstone.infusionsoft.com/go/dmark/a271/
Talk soon,
Ryan Deiss

here's another email from Ryan Deiss talking about his end of the web video.
What do you think?
Subj: Are you a DODO?
Well it appears my little video has caused quite a stir...
https://touchstone.infusionsoft.com/go/dmark/a271/
Some people have called it "GENIUS"...some have called it "B.S." and others have dismissed it as mere "sensationalism"...
I don't know where you fall in the mix, but here are the facts:
1) Facebook is replacing Google...
2) Apps are replacing traditional web browsers...
3) Mobile is making up 10%+ of all traffic (and rising steadily), and...
4) "King-Kongs" like Amazon are putting "mom and pop" websites
(LIKE YOURS!!!) out of business.
Are you a DODO?
If you think this business hasn't changed, I'm sorry but you're a "DODO". And if you continue building and growing your business using the same old methods (even ones that worked as early as 2009), I'm sorry but you'll soon be as extinct as the bird that bears the same name.
The web isn't changing...IT HAS CHANGED!
We've been living on an island for the last few years, but now the waters are rising.
Watch this presentation and see how you can survive "The Death of the Web":

To learning to swim,
Ryan Deiss
P.S. I don't care if you already have a business or if you're planning to start one soon... you need this information!
The only thing sadder than not getting started, is getting started with the wrong model.
So, if you're planning to start a business in the next 12 months, watch this presentation before you make any major decisions:
