Black Friday Deals

1) Scott’s Cheap Flights: This is my favorite flight alert program. What I like most about Scott’s is that unlike other flight alert programs, he lets you stay on his free list indefinitely (getting about 20% of the overall deals). With this special, one year of Premium membership will start at $44 for all the deals. Read my full review here.

2) AppSumo: This site is a gold mine for content creators. Instead of paying monthly memberships for expensive programs and software, catch them in the launch stage and pay a one-time fee.
