🧰 Black Friday Deals You Can't Miss


🧰 Smart tools. Useful tips. Weekly.

Hola friend 👋,

I’m Josep. Each week, I hunt down practical tools and productivity hacks to help digital doers like you do more with less effort.

This week: the Black Friday deals that will save you money.

It’s that time of year again when our inboxes are flooded with deals, and it’s hard to tell the good from the bad. I’m a huge fan of a good bargain, especially for tools that can make a real difference in my projects. Last year, I snagged a fantastic hosting deal that I’m still happy with.

To save you from the noise, I’ve curated a list of top-tier deals that offer genuine value for creators and entrepreneurs. And I actually use all these tools myself.

Plus: a secret pass to unlock hundreds of discounts on top SaaS products.

Hostinger

If you're looking for a home for your website without breaking the bank, Hostinger is a name you'll hear a lot, and for good reason. It offers a complete package: web hosting, domains, email addresses, and an easy-to-use website builder or hosting for your WordPress site.

Last Black Friday, I bought one of their deals to host my personal WordPress site. I opted for a longer period, so I don’t have to pay for hosting services for the next 2 years.

But I also use Hostinger to host my personal n8n installation (to automate workflows with AI). I was so impressed that I convinced my boss, Robert (thanks), to get a Hostinger VPS this Black Friday too to host our AI automatizations.

Also, one Hostinger solution I’m particularly keen to try is their Horizons no-code app builder. It connects with Supabase, allowing you to build (fairly) complex apps running on Hostinger servers – without needing to know the difference between JavaScript and PHP. I’ll share my findings with you in an upcoming issue.

They have even launched an email marketing platform, Hostinger Reach, that you can use to promote your business. There is a free plan, but paid plans start as little as $1.59 a month for 3,500 emails a month.

Hostinger has several promotions and services this Black Friday. If you want to save money on your digital presence, they likely have something for you. With discounts of over 80% it’s worth considering it.

🛠️ Alternative to: Bluehost, SiteGround, DreamHost, Lovable

ContentStudio

I’ll admit it: social media hasn’t been my strong suit. My personal profiles are dead, and my side projects aren’t much livelier. But 2026 will be different. I’ve already set up TikTok (just need to download the app) and Instagram.

I’m starting from scratch, and motivation is a challenge, but it’s time to build a real presence. I need all the help I can get, and I’m planning to use Content Studio to make it happen – I already have a subscription and have used it in the past.

It’s an all-in-one social media tool that helps you discover, plan, and schedule content across all your channels. It has a useful AI writer to help you craft posts, a content calendar, and a hub to track all your social media analytics from one dashboard.

It’s perfect for freelancers, small businesses, and creators who can’t afford a full-time social media manager but still want to build a strong online presence.

If you're in the same boat, their Black Friday deal is the perfect opportunity to get started – 40% off on annual plans.

🛠️ Alternative to: Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, your n8n own flow

💰 From $19 a month | 40% off during Black Friday

Envato Elements

Every creator knows that high-quality assets can make or break a project. Whether it’s for a YouTube video, a blog post graphic, or a presentation, finding the right photo, video clip, or music track is crucial. But licensing individual assets can get expensive, fast.

Envato Elements is the ultimate subscription for creatives. Think of it as a Netflix for digital assets. For a single monthly fee, you get unlimited downloads from a massive library of millions of items: stock videos, photos, music, sound effects, video templates, graphics, fonts, and even WordPress themes.

I use Envato all the time for my personal YouTube channels, especially to source music tracks and sound effects. One standout feature is the ability to whitelist entire YouTube channels, which means I don’t have to stress about copyright strikes or waste hours searching for free (and often low-quality) assets.

This is an interesting deal for video creators, designers, marketers, and anyone who regularly needs creative assets.

✨ Totally Off-Topic… But Brilliant

Building a startup or a side project often means juggling a dozen different software subscriptions, and the costs can add up quickly. What if you could get massive discounts on all the tools you need to launch and grow your business?

That's exactly what FounderPass offers. It's a membership platform that gives you access to over 350 of its partners. You'll find exclusive deals on everything from marketing and sales software to productivity and development tools. We're talking big names like Notion, AWS, Ocen Digital, Airtable, Webflow, and many more.

Instead of paying full price for each tool, you pay a single annual fee for FounderPass and unlock hundreds of perks and discounts. Of course, for it to make sense, you’ll need to use several of their deals.
