Love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no denying that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great times to get some deals – and that applies to course creators and other edupreneurs as much as anyone else.
For your convenience, here’s this year’s round-up of a bunch of key deals I know about. In this post I cover:
Also, for a large selection of deals on apps and courses to help you grow your business and be more productive, check out all of the AppSumo Black Friday deals.
I will keep adding to this page as other deals come on line, so definitely bookmark it and check back.
A couple of important notes: First, all of these are affiliate links. If you buy something, I get a small commission. That doesn’t cost you anything and it helps me keep Learning Revolution going for you. Second, some of these apply only to new customers. Sorry, not my decision.

Web Hosting
Web hosting is one of those things I find most creators and business owners don’t put a lot of thought into, but while it’s true you shouldn’t obsess about it, it is more and more important to have really high quality hosting to make sure your site is secure, fast, and always up and running. Google cares about it, and your potential customers will leave in a heartbeat if you aren’t checking those boxes. Fortunately, there are plenty of Black Friday web hosting deals.

If you are (I won’t tell), it’s really time to start treating your websites as a serious business asset and move to WP Engine. I use them for all my sites and their service is amazing.
