Things Worth Paying For

1. Grants for Creators

You’re here because you want to make money independently. Danielle is offering 15% off annual subscriptions to her newsletter that rounds up all kinds of opportunities.

2. $10K Brand Deal Challenge

I always look to Justin Moore for advice on landing and managing sponsor deals. I participated in his LIVE 7-day intensive teaching creatives like me how to land $10k deals and it was the encouragement I needed to send more pitches! There’s live Zooms daily (with replays) and you get to learn alongside other people who are hitting the same roadblocks you are.

You don’t need to be an influencer to land deals. Brands care much more about who follow you than how many follow you, and this is your opportunity to learn how to position yourself as a strategic partner. For Black Friday the $10 Brand Deal Challenge is only $27!

3. Pay What You Owe Me Workshop

Whenever I run into a legal question, I turn to Brionna Ned. We’re currently going through an economic downturn, which means every penny counts! Brionna’s offering the Pay Me What You Owe Me workshop on December 12th, the first in a series of workshops covering how to proactively use contracts.

It's $97 through December 3 with the code EARLYBIRD. After December 1st, the price for the workshop is $149. The first 20 people to sign up will be entered into a raffle for a chance to get live feedback from Brionna!

4. Lex Roman’s Launch Your Newsletter Course

If you want to launch a newsletter but don’t know where to start, take a look through Lex’s course! All of Lex’s products are 50% off through Dec. 1.

5. beehiiv

This newsletter runs on beehiiv. I looked at everything out there and tested different platforms. I love how beehiiv keeps rapidly improving its platform and makes it easy to get paid without a commission.

6. Tella

I’m just starting to dabble in short-form video, which means I’m trying a few editing tools. I’m currently using Tella to edit and it’s such a nice introduction to video editing.

7. Nadia Vanderhall’s Budget Analysis Lite

Nadia’s offering a budget analysis for the next three months of your life. She’ll look over your budget, expenses, credit card statements, and financial goals and give you actionable feedback for $50.
