Chris Badgett: You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to create, launch, and scale a high value online training program. I’m your guide, Chris Badget. I’m the co-founder of LifterLMS, the most powerful learning management system for WordPress. State of the end, I’ve got something special for you. Enjoy the show.

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of LMScast. I’m Chris Badgett, and today we’re doing a solo episode called A Season For Course Creator Freedom. So it’s that time of year again, this is the Black Friday, all November sale that LifterLMS runs this time of year. We like to reduce the pressure of Black Friday sales, so we actually just open it up for the whole month of November.

This is our biggest sales event of the year, and it’s really a time for course creators, coaches, education entrepreneurs, and the WordPress professionals and agencies that serve this industry to get the best learning management system for WordPress at the best price during our sale. On any new order, you’re gonna get a 60% discount, and you’re also going to get $4,000 worth of bonuses, which I’m gonna go over in detail on this episode.

So if you haven’t moved over to LifterLMS yet, perhaps you’re using a hosted course platform like Kajabi or Teachable or Thinkific or some kind of what we would call a. SaaS, LMS, it’s a software as a service. They have really expensive monthly fees and a very limited feature set that you cannot extend.

This is a great time to move over to WordPress, to open source software and a learning management system that’s both customizable, affordable, completely extendable, gives you full ownership of the platform so you’re not creating. Your online education business essentially on rented land, basically on somebody else’s website.

If you’ve been in the LifterLMS community already, perhaps you’re using the free LifterLMS Learning Management System plugin. That’s great. This is a great time of year to upgrade and get some of the advanced features that are available in our paid plans. So you get the 60% discount. Best time of year at the best price for the best tool.

And I want to go over a little bit about what’s new, this LifterLMS, black Friday, all November sale. It’s wild to think about. We’ve actually done a Black Friday sale for 12 years at LifterLMS, which is pretty incredible. But we always try to level up the. Value we create when we do our Black Friday all November sale.

So one of the ways we do that is by figuring out what we can do for bonuses and really over deliver on bonuses. So if you make a purchase of any new bundle during Black Friday, all November, so basically from November 1st through December 1st, which is technically Cyber Monday. You get a 60% discount and $4,000 worth of bonuses.

So let’s talk about the bonuses. If you’re here, you probably already know how awesome the LifterLMS software is and who doesn’t want a good deal and a great price. So there’s the discount, but let’s talk about the bonuses. The first bonus, which. Adds a ton of value, is a $2,000 course that we created called The Perfect Offer Playbook.

Now, this course was delivered live with a live audience several months ago, and we put a lot of work and effort into solving some of the biggest core foundational challenges that course creators and education entrepreneurs have. That makes or breaks the difference between a platform project, an education company being successful or not.

So at the core of every course or coaching program or internal training site or continuing education program, there’s a very specific offer that everything else is
