Ryan Deiss’ Continuity Blueprint Review
I’m the first to admit I don’t know all of the big names in the Internet Marketing Arena. While I am familiar with most, I had never heard of Ryan Deiss until I stumbled across some of his promo videos for the Continuity Blueprint.
The first was a video about his “Million Dollar Napkin” in which he wrote out his business model on the back of a cocktail napkin. That video was followed by another about the Continuity Snowball effect.
Before I go ANY FURTHER, I need to stress something here. I’m not an affiliate for Ryan Deiss or the Continuity Blueprint. So in tradition of the No BS report, you’ll read a non-hyped up report that doesn’t put a dime in my pocket. So..let’s continue..
What is it?
The Continuity Blueprint teaches you how to leverage the continuity aspect of your product to continually earn income each month. Ryan takes it a step further by showing you the tools you need, how to architect your site, how to find content experts and how to attract customers and sales.
What you get
You get alot. First you get access to Ryan’s website that is structured just like he describes in his videos. Second, you get a nicely laid out online course complete with Videos, Slides and some bonus materials. All of this is accessible immediately after purchase.
A few days later you’ll recieve everything in hard copy, including the videos, binders, swipe file. The downbside is that the bonuses are not on the DVD’s…at least I didn’t see them. The swipe file is also not available online.. at least not in one place. Ryan’s swipe file is basically his own websites that he shows you in the videos.
Who can use it?
I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this course for those just starting out. While you can follow it step by step, you really need to get your feet wet in other areas of Internet Marketing to make this a success. What I mean is, understanding what the market is looking for, your demand, how to research niches etc. If you understand that, then the Continuity Blueprint is a good next step.
It’s NOT for the faint of heart. Ryan discusses getting setup for merchant accounts, getting the software you need, writing content. This is work. Real work. For anyone that thinks building a membership site is something that you can do overnight and just watch the money rolling in, don’t believe that for a second.
The NO BS Facts
This is a good program. This is an expensive program. At $1497, it’s not something you should jump into without thinking. You won’t see that money back anytime soon. I think it’s a tad overpriced. Personally, this is a $697 course.
Yes, I would buy it again because I feel the content is SO good. Ryan is a great presenter and the quality of content is excellent.
A few tips when buying. Watch for the continuity upsell. You get access to his club free for 30 days and that rolls into a $97/mo bill. Ofcourse, he sells that well, but you may not need that.
There’s also a nice payment plan which allows you to purchase at a lessor price and begin putting everything to work for you.

This is one of the best products i’ve purchased as far as content goes. The information on building membership sites is outstanding. Ryan does a great job of presenting the material and it’s very easy to follow.
I think the program is a bit overpriced and I can have done without the hardcopies. I know he just added the hard copies to create more perceived value, but it would have been better and cost less if was just an online version for a few hundred.

It’s hard to place a value on information – I guess it comes down to how much you can make from it. Personally, I was disappointed with the quality of the printed material etc. It looks a bit like something Ryan slapped together in his garage. Okay, maybe he is an expert at the online stuff and this whole hard-copy thing is new to him.
After receiving the material I didn’t think it was worth $1997 … I’m making this value judgement based on other products that I have purchased. As per the double guarantee on his sales page I have contacted the support email address asking for a refund. So far I have not received a single response after multiple requests for contact and a refund.
I tried going to the members’ site and getting help from there. No luck – members’ support goes to the same email address. I am now going to my credit card company to try to reverse the transaction.
I really don’t want to bash the guy – Ryan seems like a nice guy on his videos and seemed pretty genuine when I watched the streaming video of the live launch and the problems that followed. It has surprised me that I have had so much difficulty getting a response – perhaps there is some other problem but there’s nothing I can do from my end to solve it or try anything else.
If $1997 is a LOT of money to you it might be better to look elsewhere in case this program is not for you and you are worried that the refund guarantee doesn’t stand up.

Follow up: I have heard from the team at Continuity Blueprint. Apparently there was some problem with their ticketing system that prevented me from receiving their responses.
From the information they have forwarded to me it is obvious that they had TRIED to respond promptly to the refund request. So, the refund guarantee seems completely genuine.
In that case, you have nothing to lose. If the program is genuinely not for you then return it and don’t use it.
