Pre-order discount: $35 off Photoshop Week 2019 at CreativeLIVE

Photoshop Week 2019 is coming up at Creative LIVE with three days of action with 17 workshops. You can see the schedule of workshops/classes running June 12, 13 and 14 (Wednesday through Friday) in 2019, from 11:30am eastern (CreativeLIVE is in Seattle, thus the “late” start for East Coasters) until 10pm eastern (or so ~ the last class of the day starts at 8pm eastern).

The price of this bundle is $199 BUT for a limited time, coupon code PSW35OFF (translation: Photo Shop Week 35 OFF) drops the price to $165. This is digital ownership of these 17 classes, making it just under $10 per class.

BUT if you don’t want to pay anything and you have a flexible schedule, you can watch these classes for FREE as they are live-streaming (or re-running late at night on the air day) over there…

1-Year Prepaid Netflix-Style Creative LIVE subscription for $199 after limited-time coupon

If you prefer the Netflix-style viewing of photography classes instead of the digital-ownership style, CreativeLIVE has brought back their $100 coupon promotion on their 1-Year Prepaid Season Pass. Using coupon code CREATECP1003 you drop the price of the 1-year prepaid pass from $299 to $199. This is a limited time coupon but I do not know the exact expiration time.

During your prepaid membership you can watch almost all the classes there (and most of the new ones to be added in the future) as many times as you want. However, once your paying membership ends, you don’t get to keep any of them (unless you previously purchased them individually or in bundles).

NOTE that some instructors and classes are excluded due to prior agreements between Creative LIVE and the instructors. See them all at the Exclusions page…

On the other hand, if you prefer not to part with your money, keep tabs on the free-to-stream ON-AIR Schedule that has live recordings of new classes and playback of previously recorded classes on a rotating schedule.

1-Year Creative LIVE Creator-Pass for $199 with coupon

For a limited time only, coupon code CREATENOW100 gets you $100 off the 1-year Creative LIVE Creator Pass subscription, making it $199 instead of its regular price of $299.

If that expires, there’s also coupon code CREATENOW50 that drops $50 off, making it $250. Obviously $200 is better than $250.

This is a 1-year prepaid subscription that includes almost everything (but not everything) available at CreativeLIVE. Exclusions are based on previous agreements with the class instructors and such. New content will also be included in the subscription unless its explicitly excluded by prior agreements.

However, just like Netflix, once the subscription expires, you no longer have access to the classes…

CreativeLIVE Buy More, Save More Coupon Promotion: including $75 off purchases of $150+

For a limited time, CreativeLIVE is running a site-wide coupon promotion of the “Buy More, Save More” kind. Your order total determines the coupon amount and the discount you get.

The best discount is $75 off purchases of $150+. Strategically this is great for classes that rarely get discounted.

60% off Stacksocial courses with coupon

For a limited time, coupon code PREZDAY60 gets you a 60% off discount on classes and courses at the Stacksocial website. The physical goods (eg consumer electronics) are NOT eligible for the coupon for obvious reasons. If you are not sure whether something would qualify, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider. I believe a Stacksocial account is needed to test the coupon in their shopping cart.

For physical goods and such, coupon code PREZDAY15 gets you 15% off those eligible products. Again, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider…

Wedding photography classes sale at C-LIVE

It’s never too late to be preparing for wedding photography season, since rumor has it people get married all around the year 😉 Which brings us to the latest Creative LIVE sale, it is a Wedding Photography sale with the discount amounts varying by class. The price you see is the price you pay.

The sale includes classes from well-known photographers like Lindsay Adler, Robert Lim, Jasmin Star, Jirsa, Cincota and more. Topics cover most aspects of wedding photography but they also have more all-around classes like a “Bootcamp” and a “30 Days” class. There are many classes there, so many there are TWO pages of search results at the aforelinked page.

Speaking of weddings, the 2019 WPPI trade show tips off on February 25 in Las Vegas. Check the trade show calendar for the planned 2019 action…

I am too working on a wedding photography class, it’s a very niche topic but something I believe no one has paid attention to, “Wedding Photography with WebCams for couples married by an internet priest” 🙂
