Big announcement:
I'm retiring from digital marketing and I'm taking DigitalMarketer down with me...
Now before you freak out or fire off a panicked email, let me explain.
I’m not retiring from business...
I’m not going off the grid...
And I’m definitely not disappearing into some remote beach town with a Mai Tai in hand.
What I am doing is stepping away from a chapter of my life (and a business model) that has defined both me and DigitalMarketer for more than two decades.
The teaching…
The training…
The certifying…
That season is over.
And effective immediately, DigitalMarketer is out of the course and certification business.
But don’t get it twisted... we’re not shutting down.
In fact, we’re gearing up.
Because while the decision to pivot a company that’s still growing, still profitable, and still serving thousands of loyal customers isn’t easy…
…it’s one we knew we had to make.
The market has changed.
The way people learn, the way they implement, the way they grow... it’s all different now.
And while the gurus keep shouting louder, most business owners are quietly drowning under the weight of “just one more course” they’ll never finish.
People don’t need more content!
They need clarity...
They need execution...
They need systems that actually do the work (not just explain how to do the work).
That’s what we’re building next.
Not another tutorial.
Not another swipe file.
But a completely new model for getting real marketing done (using a blend of Artificial Intelligence and Actual Intelligence) so entrepreneurs can scale without burning out or guessing.
So yes… this is a goodbye.
But it’s also a beginning.
We’re not retiring DigitalMarketer.
We’re reimagining it.
And if you want a front-row seat to what comes next, I’ll be sharing the full story during a live strategy session you don’t want to miss.
Why funnels fail and tactics stall (the real reason your marketing doesn’t convert).
How AI + expert strategy creates a done-for-you engine that never sleeps.
They still sold. We killed them anyway. Here’s what we’re doing instead.
Build a pro-level marketing team... no hiring, no hustle, no burnout.
You’re a business owner tired of guessing at growth
You lead marketing and want to scale without stress or stalls
You’ve followed DigitalMarketer and want to know what’s next
You want systems that work... not another hack or “hackathon”
You’re chasing "silver bullets" instead of real solutions
You think AI will just blow over like NFTs... or Google+
You’re not willing to lead your business into change
You’d rather learn passively than implement actively
