I love looking out for deals on technology and software that helps me with my business.
This year, I decided to compile a list of Black Friday deals on some of my favourite technology tools for business (I’d suggest bookmarking this post and get on my email newsletter – sign up on the left – to get the latest deals on this post as I’ll be updating it as new deals are announced): (Updated 19th 25th Nov 2019)
Automate Your WordPress Site
WPFusion: wpfusion is one of those plugins that I believe is a MUST-HAVE for any WordPress site.
Why? In most cases, this one plugin:
- Connects your WordPress site to practically ANY CRM & Marketing Automation platform you use (it saves you time from synchronising the users on your site with your database platform)
- It can act as a content & user-access control – meaning you don’t need another specific membership plugin for your site (I use wpfusion to control access to membership & paid content areas).
- Helps you capture lead source data so you know where your best leads and customers are coming from so you know where to allocate your budget and where to you’re losing money.
2019 deal: Get 30% off all plans with promo code: BLACKFRIDAY19>>>redeem your 30% savings here. (Promo period:28th Nov – 2nd Dec 2019)
Build & Design Fast WordPress Sites
Next, if you build WordPress sites, then you’ll want to get Astra’s Theme and Pro packages. Astra is one of the best (installed on over 500,000 WordPress sites and counting) and fastest theme on the market (especially if you’re using Page Builders like Elementor, Beaver Builder, Thrive Architect, etc).
Astra Pro is great if you’re an agency or a freelancer building out multiple sites for clients. It also makes your life easier if you manage your own WordPress site.
For Black Friday, you can ?save 30% off Astra Pro and any of their other products, (there’s no coupon code needed, discount will be applied during promo period of 25th Nov to 4th Dec 2019) >>>get Astra Pro at 30% here.
Make More Money with Existing Traffic…Yes, Please!
This one is a big one and if you have the budget for it, I highly recommend this: Cartflows.
Cartflows gives you the ability to:
- Easily build funnels with your WordPress (and WooCommerce) site
- It gives you the ability to do one-click upsells, multiple offers and downsells.
- Increase your profits and average order value with existing traffic
I own this myself and it has helped me bump up average order value from $95 to $112. That’s an 18% increase with EXISTING traffic.
For Black Friday, you can save 30% off Cartflows, (there’s no coupon code needed, discount will be applied during promo period of 25th Nov to 4th Dec 2019) >>>get Cartflows at 30% here.
Not Another WordPress Hosting Recommendation…Well, Yes
If you’re planning on building a new website or looking to change hosts or an agency/freelancer that offers web hosting with your services, Cloudways is my current go to host (this very site is currently hosted on Cloudways + Digital Ocean combo).
WARNING: from my experience, Cloudways is NOT suitable for you if you’re new and non-technical.
While it’s not difficult to setup, I believe it’s more for intermediate to advanced level people who are comfortable with setting up web hosting and websites and understand what DNS is.
Now, if you’re comfortable with the above, then Cloudways is really the best value you can get for a cloud host. (see WPX below if you’re not comfortable with tech stuff)
Cloudways Black Friday Promotion 2019: Get 40% off your first 3 months!!! Valid from 14th November to 4th December 2019. >>>Get 40% off your first 3 months hosting here.
So, as I mentioned above, If you’re a new business and/or not very techie, then Cloudways may not be the best host to start off with.
If you want a more user-friendly but blazing fast WordPress site (which you do), then WPX’s WordPress hosting is the way to go.
WPX Black Friday Promotion 2019: Get 99%(!!!) off all monthly hosting plans or 3 months free on annual plans!!!
Valid from 25th November to 4th December 2019.

Make Your WordPress Site Faster
One of the biggest causes of slow websites is large & non-optimized image files.
That’s where Shortpixel’s image compression plugin comes in. With a click of a button, it does the heavy-lifting for you.
Shorpixel’s 2019 Black Friday offer gives you 250% more credits for image compression for whichever plan you purchase. There’s no promo code you need to apply, they’re applying this extra bonus automatically for anyone who purchases during the promo period between 29th Nov 2019 to 2nd Dec 2019. >>>Get 250% more credits from Shortpixel here
Launch Your Online Course
Two of the biggest online course platforms are offering Black Friday deals this year:
If you’re a non-techie and want to launch your own online course (one of my favourite products to sell), online course platform Thinkific (this one seems to be the most popular among my readers) has a great deal for Black Friday:
- 7 months of their Pro + Growth plan for the price of 5, plus $2100 worth of bonuses:

Teachable also has a great deal for Black Friday:
This is the first time in Teachable’s 5+ year history they’ve ever offered a discount like this on their annual plan.

Easy WordPress Forms
What I hate most about WordPress plugins?
Paying renewal fees!
Not to mention, I rarely use WordPress form plugins, but there’s one that I recently used and bought that I’ve been loving and checks all the boxes I’ve been looking for…enter WP Ninja’s Fluent Forms!
They’re currently running a $199 Lifetime deal (Reg. $399.00 lifetime). Yes, that’s a one-time fee only!
This is a no-brainer if you need a WordPress form plugin. It helps capture url parameters easily without any additional scripting on your part.
***No coupon code required, the Black Friday promo discount is automatically applied for you!!!
