Hello my friends, it is mid-November and you know what that means. Black Friday is almost here. I love Black Friday. Funny excuse to hit the outlets, right? But as a business owner, I love it even more. One of the core values in my business is accessibility, and I strive to make my products accessible all year round. But as new business owners and with how things have been especially tight this year for a lot of people, I know that a lot of my resources are still out of reach for a lot of people. So Black Friday is extra special to me because it's an opportunity for me to offer some serious discounts and create even more accessibility to allow people who might not be able to afford a certain resource any other time of year to get in on it. And that is super important to me because the legal stuff is really important. It's an opportunity to protect the thing that you're building that's gonna give you the life that you want. So this year, just like last year, we are doing a week-long sale starting Monday, November 20th, and going through Cyber Monday, Monday, November 27th. And this episode is going to be a rundown of everything that we're offering. So if you're listening to this when it comes out, plan your shopping. If you're listening to this during Black Friday week, make sure you get on it. Don't miss that deadline. Sale ends November 27th at midnight Pacific time. We have five deals, including a couple things we've never offered during Black Friday before. Something brand new. To make things easy, all of these deals are in one place this year. So if you don't feel like listening and you just want to go look for yourself, head on over to artfulcontracts.com/slash blackfriday. It's all laid out there. If you're checking it out before November 20th, it is a preview page. It'll be the same link, but the discount codes and the buttons are not going to be active until the sale actually starts. So pull up the tab and then hit refresh on November 20th. All right, let's get into it. Here is our Black Friday rundown. Hey, I'm Amy Nessheim, licensed attorney for online business owners and founder of my own business, Artful Contracts. You're listening to Legal Made Easy, the show that makes the legal aspects of online business easy to understand and implement so you can grow your business with confidence knowing you've got it all covered. Let's dive in. Alright, let's just get right into it. I'm going to tell you what each deal is and who is a good fit to take advantage of that. Again, our sale is a week long, starting November 20th, Monday, and ending Monday, November 27th at Midnight Pacific. So you have a little time to think it over, figure out what you want, just don't miss that deadline. Alright, so the first deal is our template shop sale. All of the templates and template bundles offered in our template shop are 40% off. And that includes 40% off of the legal protection bundle. Now the template shop is perfect for those who have a specific need that they want to use a template for, like terms of purchase if you're offering a new course, the one-on-one coaching contract, if you're just starting on coaching. We have a ton of one-off templates available in there. Now all of our bundles are also 40% off. So that includes the legal protection bundle. This is by far our best seller because it is by far the best deal. Even not on Black Friday. It's a great deal. So in the legal protection bundle, you get a one-on-one contract, and that includes if you're a service writer, if you're a coach, or if you're a consultant, you get all three. You also get your website policies, you get an independent contractor contract for hiring, and there are guides to go along with each template. It is a great starter pack for someone starting a one-on-one client-based business like coaching service writer or consulting. So if you're looking for one contract template or a couple contract templates, all of our individual templates, all of our bundles on our shop page, artfulcontracts.com slash store, are 40% off during Black Friday. If you are trying to compare bundles or not sure if a template is the right fit for you, please feel free to send me a DM on Instagram and I can help you figure out which is the right one to use for whatever your situation is. Okay, Black Friday deal number two is on that same shop page at the bottom we have workshops and mini courses. All three of our workshops and mini courses are 50% off. Yep, half off. That includes the website protection toolkit, the copycat workshop, and the marketing claims masterclass. The website protection toolkit is everything you need to get your website started legally, including the templates for your privacy policy, your terms and conditions, disclaimers, and also a mini course that walks you through what those things are, why you need them, how to use them, and requirements for accessibility, disclaimers, the privacy laws, GDPR, CCPA, all the acronyms that you've heard about. All of that is inside the website protection toolkit. The Copycat workshop is a four-video lesson workshop that walks you through how to protect your content. And that covers things like what a copyright is, how you have copyright, what rights you have to be able to stop other people from using your content, an escalation ladder that you can use, including templates for a cease and desist letter, DMCA takedown notice, and also guidelines on how to use other people's content in your own. So what's inspiration versus what's actually copying, the four fair use factors that the court uses to determine if you're copying somebody else or if you can actually just use it. This stuff is so important for anyone putting out content, and that's all of us, right? All of our free content on Instagram, the content of your courses or digital products, downloads, workbooks, PDF, templates, guides, your podcast content, YouTube channel, videos, all of that stuff is content, and there are laws about how it's protected, what you can do, and that's important to know, especially because we all dread that moment when you're scrolling through Instagram and somebody else has copied your post verbatim, but theirs is going viral. Like, come on. So the copycat workshop walks you through all of that. And the third workshop mini course that is included in this deal, 50% off, is the marketing claims masterclass. And this is all those requirements that the FTC has to make sure that you are being truthful with your marketing, that you're not misleading customers, so that you don't get in trouble with the FTC. And that includes requirements for how you price your products, how you use testimonials, anything you say in your marketing. All right, and that brings me to our third Black Friday deal. This one is for the Trademark Roadmap. During Black Friday, you can take$200 off the trademark roadmap. The trademark roadmap is my full-length course that walks you through all of the steps to register your trademark on your own. If you are a US legal resident, you can file your own trademark. You don't have to have an attorney do it for you. But it is a long and complicated process with a lot of places you can get tripped up. So I do recommend if you want to do that, you get some guidance. So that's exactly what the trademark roadmap is. And it starts with things like what a trademark is, what kinds of things you can register as a trademark, the benefits of trademark registration. And then we also go through step by step over my shoulder as I fill out a trademark application, talk you through the places that people get tripped up in the application process, the requirements for the things that you need to submit with your application, and all the way through issues that can come up, responses you might get from the trademark office, all the way through registration, the whole process. So the regular price on that is$497 during Black Friday. It is$200 off, so it is just$297. All right, that brings me to Black Friday deal number four. This one is brand new and I am so excited. I am hosting a brand new workshop in February, and Black Friday is your opportunity to get a pre-sale ticket to save your receipt at a super discount to this new workshop. So, what's the workshop? It is the LLC bootcamp. We are gonna be walking through the steps to actually register your LLC yourself, how to fill out the paperwork, what you need to know ahead of time, the prep work, why you need an LLC, and then actually doing it. This is a bit more than I can fit into just a 90-minute training. So we are gonna have two days, two days in a row, probably an hour, hour and a half session each, so that you can, by the end of it, have your LLC registered. Now, regular price for this workshop is going to be$197. During Black Friday, you get a 60% off Black Friday pre-sale price of$77. This is a really great value because you're gonna get probably about three hours of teaching and QA with me, plus checklists, and you'll have you'll be able to register your LLC yourself, have it all set up by the end of the workshop. The dates for this workshop are February 20 and 21. That's a Tuesday and Wednesday in the end of February, and it's going to be uh midday, early afternoon, Eastern time, live over Zoom, and you'll get access to the recording afterwards as well. This workshop is perfect if you want to register your LLC. Or if you've been thinking about forming an LLC, you're on the fence, not sure why it benefits you, but you'd like to be able to have that option, it feels overwhelming, you want to know how to do it, great place to start. Okay, we're almost there. Last Black Friday deal. I have never done this before, so I'm pretty excited. During Black Friday this year, I'm offering 10% off of my signature program Cover Your Assets. I have never offered a discount on Cover Your Assets during Black Friday before, but I know how game-changing it can be, and it is my highest price point offer for a reason, obviously, because it is a huge resource, but I wanted to make it a little bit more accessible just for Black Friday for the exact same reasons I said at the beginning. This is the way to get your business legally legit. It covers everything. If you get cover your assets during Black Friday, you don't need anything else because it's all included. Well, except for the trademark roadmap, that's a separate thing. But all the templates, walking you through how to form your LLC, walking you through how to structure your contracts, marketing laws, copyrights, why you would need a trademark, how to set up your website legally, all of that is covered inside of Cover Your Assets. And when you join the Complete Experience, you also get access to monthly legal coaching calls with me and our private member community where you can ask questions whenever you want. So that is 10% off whether you join our self-study option or the complete experience with the support. Cover Your Assets is for client-focused businesses, so things like coaches, service providers, consultants, freelancers. It's not necessarily designed for other types of online business like e-commerce or brick and mortar stores because there is that contract element, the element of you're working with clients. So if you work with clients in a one-on-one capacity or in a group capacity and you want to make sure your business is legally protected, cover your assets is the number one thing that can help you get there. And I would love to see you join us. Okay, one more time. The Black Friday sale starts on November 20th and ends on November 27th at midnight Pacific. You can find all of these deals and the coupon codes that you'll need to access them on my Black Friday page, artfulcontracts.com slash Black Friday. If you're listening to this before November 20th, the codes will not be visible yet. Just open the tab and refresh it on November 20th and they will all show up for you there. If you are planning your shopping or if you're looking and you're not sure what's a good fit for you, please feel free to send me a DM over on Instagram. My handle is at Artful Contracts, and I would be happy to talk through what is the right fit for you. Because I know there are a lot of options. Oh, okay. I just just remembered something, something else that is exciting that is happening this Black Friday is not totally related to Black Friday, but could be helpful for you. So we now on all of our template shop items, on all of our mini courses, basically anything that's not a subscription, we have enabled Afterpay. This is new, it's something I've never been able to offer before, but Kajabi just added the integration recently. So now you have the option of selecting afterpay at checkout. And what that does is it separates your payments into four payments over six weeks. And that is at zero interest if you split it up into four payments over six weeks. I think you also have for higher ticket items the ability to stretch it out even longer than that if you want to, but they do charge interest, so just make sure you're paying attention to what that increase is gonna be. But if that would be helpful for you, it is an option now on all of our templates, all of our template bundles, and our mini courses, workshops, and the trademark roadmap. So just go to checkout and then click Afterpay as the payment option. It'll take you over to the Afterpay site. You have to set up an account if you don't have one already, but everything else will be exactly the same for you. You'll get access to your login or you'll get your templates via email, the same as if you checked out regularly. It is just something else I wanted to offer in the name of accessibility if it's helpful for you to spread out your payments. Now you have all the info. That's Black Friday. The sale starts on November 20th and runs through November 27th at midnight Pacific. If you're on my email list, you'll get the link sent to you directly. If you're not on my email list already, I will put a link down in the show notes so that you can sign up and get the notification for when the sale goes live.

All right, happy shopping.
