 What's up, Elementor fans and website creators? All right, you're probably doing the same thing I'm doing right now. Staying up late at night trying to find good deals for Black Friday. And being that we're Elementor users, there's all kinds of stuff. I mean, we got all kinds of add-ons, all kinds of plugins. But here's the thing, it's like which ones to get. And that's where it could get a little tricky. I know myself, I've fallen victim to the shiny eye syndrome where I see something that looks new. It looks cool. And I'm like, ooh, it's a good deal. Let's go ahead and get it. And in the past, I overspent. I bought things that I ended up not even using. Just because it looked cool and I didn't really know what it was. And then I've also got things on Black Friday that turn in to be something that was super valuable. That was, you know, really part of my workflow and that I got a whole lot out of. So that's my whole purpose for making this video. I'm going to make it quick. I'm just going to flow through it. Basically, these are the things that I've used. These are the things that I get, that I'm getting. These are my picks for this Black Friday. I want to go ahead and put it out. Just go through them that way to help you with some of your decision-making as well. To help also to avoid, you know, making a bad financial decision, you know, purchasing something not to. Because here's the thing with Elementor add-ons and with plugins for Elementor, you don't need that many of them. I mean, there's a lot of them out there and they all look pretty cool. But you really don't need any. I mean, you probably need like maybe like two, three tops for your workflow, even if you're building a lot of websites. Because here's the thing, you get too many of them. You're going to buy one. You're not really going to like it because you're going to use it for a project. Then you're going to jump over to another project. You're going to try different one now and you're really going to like that one. And then you'll end up just using that one and getting real good at it. And just like Elementor, you know, there's a lot to learn in Elementor. And each add-on comes with its own learning curve. And of course, the better you learn that one particular one, if you can master it, you know, it's going to make your workflow a whole lot quicker. But enough of the talking. It's late night over here. Let's just go ahead and dive into it. And we're going to start with the granddaddy of them all. And that's Elementor Pro. Now, here's the thing with Elementor Pro this year. Well, here's the thing with Elementor Pro, period. They never really give any kind of discount. So this is probably the only time of the year you will get a discount, but they don't have one for the personal. Just the plus and the expert at 25% off. The plus is only 10% off. I mean, it's not a big discount. You see yourself making a whole lot of websites next year. This could be a good value and a good time to get it. Another thing to consider as well, if you were to purchase the expert license now during Black Friday, save $50 on it. The next time you upgrade, it'll be Black Friday again. And there you'll be purchasing again on a discount. And then I believe I've had it for a few years. I think every year when I renew it, it's always at discounted price. All right, so on to my number one pick right here for an add-on for Elementor. And I'm choosing this one for two different reasons. First one is the value out of it. I mean, this price is crazy right here. And this is Mighty Theme's add-ons right here. And it's 60% off. That also includes the lifetime plan. Let's go ahead and check this out real quick because getting a lifetime deal right now that is affordable is going to save you so much in the long run. Because if you were to say, say if you were just to have two or three plugins with lifetime deals, you wouldn't need to buy anymore. And this one right here, the lifetime deal, it's already kind of low, 300 bucks regular price. It's still low compared to a lot of the other lifetime deals out there. And that's because this is a new add-on right here. I started using this add-on a few months ago. I'm really testing it out because I really wanted to get to know something before I put it out there and recommend it. I'm also currently making a couple videos on some of the things that this could do because I'm really impressed by this add-on. I see a lot of big things coming from it. I'm in contact with the developer, the person behind the scenes and I know how involved he is on this project right here, on this add-on. So I really see this as growing into something that's going to be around for quite a while. I would jump on the lifetime deals right now. Even if you were to just get the five website one for 80 bucks, that is an amazing deal right there. I got the lifetime deal myself because this is just too good of a deal. And that's the reason why this is my number one pick for an Elementor add-on. My number two though, my number two is going to be one of my favorite ones and that's Dynamic U. And Dynamic U is 30% off. And this is one of my favorites because Elementor has opened up possibilities on what you could do on a WordPress website without doing all the crazy customizations and coding. And Dynamic Content has basically turned Elementor into a powerhouse. It has brought out the beast in Elementor. It adds on just so much more what you could do and it's not like any other of the add-ons. So even if you're going to get an add-on with a whole bunch of widgets, Dynamic Content will add a whole other aspect of what you can do to your website. And the next Elementor add-on that I would recommend right now, and this is again, this is because of the deal. It is, this is a crazy deal. It's 70 bucks for a lifetime deal on the Pioneer add-ons for Elementor. And Pioneer is kind of like, I mean, look at it. It's all kinds of stuff that you could do. It's kind of like Dynamic in a way where it opens up functionalities. But it's also like other add-ons where it adds on different widgets and it just, there's so much to this. The developer is really active. I've been using Pioneer for about three years now. Last year I grabbed this deal for 70 bucks too. It was seven, I think it was $70 or $90 last year. But I mean, this is a crazy deal for a lifetime unlimited websites. This, these, these right here are my top three. Pioneer, Dynamic, and Mighty Themes. And I would get Mighty Themes lifetime, Pioneer lifetime, and then Dynamic. I think you can get this lifetime as well for a 30% off though. It's not going to be as cheap of the others, but it's going to be worth it. Oh, look at that. Look at that. They do have the lifetime at 300, about $300. All right. Next up, this is just an honorable mention because the follow-up for Pioneer add-ons and that's going to be Pioneer forms. This is brand new. I haven't had a chance to test it out a lot yet, so I can't really recommend it. I've been playing around with it. I just started playing with it. I think it's something to look at right now. They do have a thing where you could test it out, but again, it's the deal on it. It's $70 lifetime on it. Now this right here, Pioneer forms is, it's not an Elementor. You know, this isn't an Elementor form right here. This is a standalone form builder, just like the other form builders out there. The one thing that I do like with this though is that it's compatible with Oxygen and that's what got me looking into it. I'm an Elementor fan, but I also like Oxygen as well for some more of our clients' work that needs that more custom development approach. I use Oxygen for those. So this right here is on my radar. I'm probably gonna pick it up just because the price is really good. All right, on to my next, and this is one of my favorite new tools right here and that's Fluent CRM. Man, I got this about a month ago and I got a lifetime deal on it. I mean, it just seems so interesting when I saw it. The best way for me to explain Fluent CRM is just imagine having your own MailChimp built into your WordPress website in the back end that has no impact on your database or your overall performance. You have your own MailChimp. You have your own email marketing system built into your WordPress website. It's like that. I mean, I'm gonna probably make another video on this because I've been using it for a month now and at first I was just like, this sounds good, but sometimes something sounds too good to be true. So I was a little hesitant with Fluent CRM, but I'm loving it. I mean, I'm running email campaigns on it. It integrates with elemental forms. I've been setting up audiences. I'm doing a whole lot more content creation. We get subscribers, different types of subscribers from different things. There's a lot that goes on for the managing and next year I got big plans for doing more email marketing and stuff like that. And this is just perfect right here. If you're looking at doing any kind of email marketing, if you're looking at doing MailChimp or Active Campaign or any of those things, I would take a look at this and I'll pick it up right now. It's 40% off. The thing is, when you start doing email marketing campaigns, they get expensive. Like they could go up there to 20, 30, 50, $100 a month, depending on how many subscribers you got. It gets very expensive. With this, it's a one-time purchase. Well, they don't have lifetime deals for Black Friday, unfortunately. They only have annual ones. But still, the annual deal is pretty good at 40% off. I really doubt we're going to see many deals like this coming from Fluence CRM. This will probably end up, I think this is going to blow up right here. I think this is going to become something that's pretty big. It is different. I think it's a game changer for WordPress websites. I will grab this right now before it's too late. And I want to go ahead and also do an honorable mention since we're talking about Fluence CRM. It's the same people that built Fluence Forms. I haven't used Fluence Forms, so I can't really promote it too much. But everything that I've heard about it is supposed to be really good. And the development is supposed to be just like aces. Also, Fluence Forms is 40% off and has a 30% off lifetime deal. All right, let's move on. And I'm going to go to the hosting. This is my choice for hosting. This is how I host our sites, our client sites. We manage a whole lot of websites for our clients on our maintenance plans. And I use Cloudways for everything. I love Cloudways. I went from WP, I mean, I had SiteGround. Everybody has had SiteGround. But then for the other sites, I needed better performance. I remember I went to WP Engine and it was great. And then I went over to Flywheel and I saw a little bit of performance improvement when I went to Flywheel. Then when I went to Cloudways and I got a digital ocean droplet, my own server on there. The performance was just so much more better than anything else that I've had. And if you're managing a lot of websites like I do, we have clients in different regions of the world. I like our clients that have their own servers. And you can sit up your client with their own server for like 10 bucks a month. But with this deal going on right now it's 40% off for four months. So if you're looking, if you are like, whether even if you're hosting your own website, you want something that's more solid, something that's faster, that's more powerful. I would look into this. I would check out Cloudways. Also, I've always been really happy with the support. It's nice that there's a live chat and always somebody to help out right there. Now those are my top picks right there. All right, those ones are my top ones that I would look at first. Now I want to go ahead and run down really quickly some honorable mentions and a couple and all these other ones are ones that I have, ones I've already bought in, ones that I bought year after year. Let's first start off with the Elementor add-ons and that's going to be the plus. I like the plus. I've always liked it. It's got tons of widgets in there. It's great for performance. It's just a solid plugin. I've had it now for a couple years. I'm renewing it again. Next one up is going to be happy add-ons. This is new. All right and I'm going to be straight up with you. I didn't need this and they got me with their email marketing. These guys are so good at email marketing and if anybody out there is trying to learn how to get more clients and how to market, study these guys. So they are really good at their marketing. They got me to buy a plugin when I didn't need to buy a plugin. But I got it. I tested it out. I tried it out and they got some good stuff and I use it on a few projects. This is also a really good deal right now. I think it's like 50% off and you can get a lifetime deal on it. So this is one of my honorable mentions right here and ultimate add-ons for Elementor 40% off. I've been using this one now for a couple years. It's just, it's by Astra, you know. Astra, they just code well, man. They make good stuff, you know. They know how to code really good. So ultimate add-ons for Elementor, it doesn't got a whole lot of widgets. It doesn't got a whole lot of special stuff to it. Doesn't have anything really fancy that stands out. What it does have is stability and good code. It's very clean. It's very stable and that's why I use it. All right, next one is going to be my SEO tool. This is my SEO tool of choice, SEO Press. I get this one every single year. It's already pretty cheap as it is. I mean, it's $39 a year already, but they have something new right here called Insights and I'm going to check this out. And it's like a new platform that gives you more insights of where you can improve your SEO. For my caching, it's going to be WP Rocket, especially with Elementor. It's just so easy to set up and it works just so good. It's not the cheapest, but sometimes I'd rather pay more money just to save me time and headache and WP Rocket does that. It's 30% off. I wish there was a lifetime deal. If they had a lifetime deal, even if it was an expensive one, I would pick that up because this just goes on every project that we do. I theme security probe. This is great right here because you can use this on all your clients project. You can pick up unlimited sites. It's not that expensive and it's 40% off. And that's it for all the plugins. All right. I'm a little bit out of breath right now. It's late night. I've been doing a whole lot of searching. You know, this is the time of the year for us website creators to stock up on stuff. Thing is plugins and software, they get expensive. And there was a point when I looked back at all my expenses and it was massive. I spent so much money on it. And when I looked at what I actually used compared to what I spent, there was way too big of a difference. I did not need all that stuff. So now I'm very careful with what I pick up and I try to be more strategical and I try to plan it out and look for the next year. How is this going to benefit me for next year? So I want to go ahead and just show you these are the ones that I basically filtered out. There are a lot of good ones out there. You guys are going to see a lot of good deals out there. These are just the ones that I use. So all the links are going to be down in the description. Just a heads up, there are affiliate links. But these are all things that I use. I only become an affiliate if it's something that I use, that I believe in, that I personally purchase. It does help and supports the channel and what I'm doing over a year. And if you don't want to use the affiliate link, it's all good. You know, I just hope that this list helps you out, that it helps you to find the right tools for you this year and helps you save money. Helps you not purchase things you don't need. All right, really quick before we wrap this up though, there's one more thing. If you made it to the end of this video, much thanks. Please don't forget to subscribe. All right, forget all that YouTube stuff. I want to show you guys one more thing. This is going to be for business development, for learning. If you're a website creator, if you're a creative, if you're a developer, if you're branding, if you're in logo design, graphic design, anything in the creative space, there is more to learn than just design and the creativity. There's also the business side of it. And I started my agency and even though we did well, built a client base globally, built a team, did all that kind of stuff, I still never really had direction because I never ran a business. I didn't understand the business side behind a web design business. I joined the Future Group, the Future Pro Group, that's taught and that's ran by Chris Doe about a year ago, a little over a year ago. And when I joined this group, that is when my business started to transform. That's when I started to get direction. And first off, I figured out just about everything I was doing was wrong. And I started to learn to do the right things. It changed everything that I do. In fact, I want to be here making these videos and trying to help other web designers if it wasn't for this. If it wasn't for this group right here, if it wasn't learning from Chris Doe and the Future Pro Group. So this one right here, I just want to give that mention because we talk about software, we talk about plugins, we talk about Elementor. There's a whole other side to this if you really want to get good and grow a business that's sustainable. We have live calls. A lot of them are with Chris Doe. Like we're on Zoom calls with Chris Doe. All right. If you don't know what he is, check him out on YouTube. It's insane that get this kind of opportunity. And then also with all different types of creatives and different creative fields. And there's just so much to learn inside of it. And it's $150 a month. And that price right there, that investment is, I mean, I can't even put dollar amounts on the value that I've gotten this last year being inside this group. So I have to put a mention out on it. It is Black Friday. I know they got specials on it. I also got a link for this inside the description. I really strongly recommend checking it out. That's it. All right. No more of this promotional stuff. No more of this affiliate stuff. No more of any of this stuff. I want to get back down to business creating content, growing web design businesses, doing all the fun stuff. But most importantly, having a nice holidays right now. I want to wish everybody out there a happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone watching this. I hope you, your families are all having a nice holiday. It's been a crazy year, but we all are going to get through this. And I'm wishing all you guys the best. All right. I'll be back soon with more web designer and more Elementor related content. All right. Bye.
