Online course creation platforms

Selling online courses is one of my favorite strategies to help everyday experts scale their revenue online. So if you’re thinking about adding courses or digital products to your online business, then Black Friday is a great opportunity to save on a course creation platform.

If you’re looking for my recommendations, you can watch my 2024 course platform comparison on YouTube:

• Dates: 11/12/24 – 12/2/24

💻 ThriveCart

• A high-value pick for a specialist course creation platform. (You pay a one-time lifetime price, so there are no recurring fees.) But there are some technical quirks worth considering.

Cameras & microphones

Black Friday is always a great time to purchase and save on electronics. So if you’re a solopreneur, YouTuber, course creator, or coach, here are a few recommended microphones, cameras, webcams, and office accessories on sale:

• 📷 Anker PowerConf C200 (a great budget webcam)
• 📷 Logitech Brio 500/501
• 📷 Insta360 Link webcam (a great high-end webcam)
• 📷 Sony ZV-1 – This is a great compact-sensor camera, and I’ve used it to film 2 years of YouTube videos. But if you’re looking for an option with interchangeable lenses and more longevity, I recently purchased the Sony A6700, and the Sony ZV-10 II is another great option.
• 📷 Elgato Prompter – This teleprompter has a built-in screen and connects directly to your computer. I own it and it’s by far the best teleprompter I’ve used.
• 🎙️ Blue Yeti
• 🎙️ Shure MV7 – I’ve used this microphone for years (Gen 1 edition), although I’d recommend the newer Gen 2. It’s a great all-around choice for solopreneurs.
