Marketing Black Friday Deals

Tailwind

New users, on December 2nd, Tailwind are having their biggest Cyber Monday deal where you can get $70 off of their annual Plus Plan. However, there’s a catch. You need to be on the mailing list like NOW. There are two steps so read the instructions in the form carefully. $70! It’s worth it.

1. Read carefully, complete this form

Don’t leave this until December 2nd or you will miss out.

→ After December 2nd/not on the mailing list:

I know you are waiting with bated breath on this one! So, there is no official Black Friday deal with Tailwind but as always I didn’t let that stop me. We’ve teamed up with Tailwind you offer you $30 off when you upgrade, which is the equivalent of two months free Tailwind scheduling.

• What? Tailwind
• How much? $30 off
• When? Forever

What happens if I have signed up for a free version of Tailwind already? That’s okay, you can still use the coupon code as long as you haven’t previously upgraded.

If you’re in the market for a new domain, Black Friday is a great time to do it through Namecheap. We use Namecheap for our own blogs and also for Make Traffic Happen. It’s wise to keep your domain separate from your host so there are no horror stories if/when you part ways.

We don’t believe all the bad press out there about Bluehost.

Why? Because we both used Bluehost for the first 1.5 years of blogging. We only moved because our blogs grew and we needed a different solution.

They offer cheap and reliable service and they have customer service chat that is helpful for solving any issues. I’m not sure what else you can expect for under $5 per month. Have a second site on the horizon? This could be worth investing in. Gemma will be purchasing Bluehost for her new site.

Teachable never offers money off their platform fees, but this year they’ve decided to break the mould and do it!

• Where? Teachable
• How much: Basic Plan: Was $348 now $299/year, Professional Plan: Was $948, now $749/year.
