Now, I don't know about you,
but this time of the year I get bombarded with Black Friday and Cyber Monday
deals. And to be honest, I tend to just swipe, delete, swipe, delete, swipe,
delete. However,
this time around there are a couple of really good deals out there,
which I'm actually going to be buying myself and so I thought I'd share these
with you, particularly as they relate to the KDP business.
Now also there's a few offers out there on tools that I use for
creating and publishing my books, again, which are really good.
And also towards the end of the video I've got a special offer for you on my
keyword bundle, which I've got listed on my Gumroad shop.
So if that interests you, then stick around.
Now the links to these products are going to be in the description below.
Some of these products are affiliate links for which I receive a small
commission,
which helps run this channel. Some of the links are just normal non-affiliate
links. Now if you've not been to this channel before, then welcome.
My name's Paul Marles and I do videos on how to make it keep it and grow it.
And that's your money I'm talking about. If you do like videos like that,
then please do give it a the thumbs up,
hit the subscribe button and smash that notification bell. Okay,
so let's have a look at what these offers are. Now,
first up we've got Book Bolt,
which is a great all round tool for doing things like keyword research,
which you can see here, but also things like niche research,
category investigation and general product research. Also,
they've got the Book Bolt Studio where you can create book covers and interiors
including puzzle book interiors.
Here you can see a word search interior I created on a recent video.
Now normally the price for the basic version of Book Bolt is $9.99 per month,
or for the pro version, which gives you access to the puzzle creation software,
it's $19.99 per month. However,
the deal they've got for you over this coming weekend is
$49.99 for the first six months.
If you use the link below in the description,
you'll actually get the first six months for
$39.99 per month,
which works out at $6.67 per month,
which is a great saving over that $19.99 per month.
So that's pretty good. And something to look at if you are interested,
I think can also get the free trial on that as well.
So you can give it a run for its money.
Next we've got Creative Fabrica.
Now this is my go to platform for getting things like images,
fonts, and also KDP interiors, which I do tend to edit myself.
Also, if you are a designer or into things like crafting,
you can get things like stencils, templates, knitting patterns,
embroidery patterns.
Now the beauty of Creative Fabrica is that you get the commercial license as
well, which removes that headache and anxiety from worrying about
publishing stuff that you don't have the commercial rights to,
which can be a threat to your account.
So can cause an issue with things like KDP Merch by Amazon Redbubble,
whatever site you use. So it does give that peace of mind.
Now normally it's around $19.99 per month for the
All Access Pass which gives you access to everything including the
commercial licenses.
But the offer there running is $4.99
for 12 months. Now you have to pay up front it's $59,
which gives you 12 months access.
Now I use this site all the time for creating book covers,
book interiors, thumbnails, graphics on videos,
all sorts of things, logos included.
So $59 for a year's access is a really
good deal. So again, if that's something you're interested,
go ahead and take a look. Now next up we've got Helium 10,
which is a suite of tools which are very useful if you are
publishing books on Amazon or selling anything on Amazon really. But in
particular things like keyword research, reverse
ASIN research, and also for keyword tracking.
Now there are quite a number of tools here and it's not the cheapest piece of
software available.
You can pay $29 a month for limited access to the main
modules, but they do have these other programs or subscriptions available,
which is the diamond and platinum programs. Now, as I said,
they're not particularly cheap and so I wouldn't
advise probably looking at something like this until you are making money
with your business.
But the tools are excellent and will really take your keyword research to the
next level.
Now the offer they've got going is just on the diamond and platinum plans
and that is if you take out a 12 months subscription,
you will get three months free. Okay, to the next one.
Now this is the one that I'm going to be buying this time around and this is a
subscription to the Adobe Software Suite. This is a creative cloud all
apps, which gives you access to things like Photoshop, Premier Pro,
Illustrator, which is very useful for creating book covers and interiors.
I used to use that for quite a long time until going over to Affinity Designer.
The reason I'm buying this is because I want access to Photoshop.
There's a particular tool on Illustrator I want to use,
but also next year I want to learn about animation.
And so they've got some good tools here for that.
They've got Animate and After Effects,
so I'm gonna be taking them up on this offer.
It's currently $39.99 per month,
which is a reduction from their usual $54.99 per month.
So that's a pretty good deal.
Now the thing about this deal is it's actually stops on the 25th of February.
So when you're watching this video,
it may already be gone or you may only have about 12 to 24 hours.
To take take advantage of it.
So if you are syncing or you've been thinking about taking up a subscription
with Adobe, then go straight across there and have a look at it. Next up,
we've got Affinity. Now, Affinity Designer I use all the time,
I use it to edit images that I get off sites like Creative Fabrica and Fact
Easy. I use it for creating my book covers, book interiors,
thumbnails from my YouTube channel,
and for images again that I use in my videos.
Now they've recently upgraded their software to Affinity Designer
2, photo t2, and Publisher 2.
Now you can't upgrade the original version of the software to the new
version of software. It looks like you have to buy the new software outright,
but the beauty of this is it's a one off payment.
You can pay for all three pieces of software or you can pay for an individual
piece of software. And so for Affinity Designer 2, which I use all the time,
it's $40 and 99 cents, one off payment,
no subscriptions.
To me this is an absolute bargain and has said something I use all the time.
The reason I'm gonna be buying this is that they've got some new features within
the Affinity Designer 2,
which I want to check out and see if there are any use for what I want to do in
the future. Okay, onto the special offer that I'm gonna give you.
And this is on my keyword bundle, which is in my Gumroad shop.
And this is gonna be for Black Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
and Cyber Monday it's normally $7 and I'm gonna reduce that to
half price to $3.50 during those four days.
And this will give you the keywords to 25 niches. Over time,
I do add more keywords to this bundle. In fact,
by the time you watch this video,
there may one or two more keyword lists added to that.
But at the moment, that's for 25 niches. And I do update this.
So once this is purchased,
you do get access to any updates I make in the future.
So that's all the offers I've got for you for this Black Friday weekend.
I think there's some real gems in there. As I said,
the links are in the description or you can just go along to Google and search
the products yourself and find them that way. Thank you much for watching.
It is very much appreciated. If you are celebrating Thanksgiving,
then Happy Thanksgiving and until next time, goodbye.
