We need to get back to work, and I\u2019m betting you do, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>at midnight on March 31st, we will be closing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalmarketer.com\/lab-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"free account option (opens in a new tab)\">free account option<\/a><\/strong> for DigitalMarketer Lab, and subscription pricing will return to normal. But to ease this transition (and to still support those who get in late), we have also decided to <strong>extend the access period to the Lab platform to April 15th for everyone who has a free account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, anyone who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalmarketer.com\/lab-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"joins DigitalMarketer Lab (opens in a new tab)\">joins DigitalMarketer Lab<\/a> prior to midnight on March 31st will continue to have access to all our premium content for an additional 15 days beyond what we originally planned\u2026 still no credit card required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that things are far from normal, and I know we still have a long road of recovery ahead of us. But I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope you are, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be well. Stay safe. And let\u2019s get to work. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In hope and gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryan Deiss<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: At midnight on March 31st, we will
