Hey Sumolings!

I have been keeping an eye on this deal since it launched, hoping that the deal would get more feedback from the community and LiveWebinar would make the deal even better. What I just discovered was the opposite, instead of LiveWebinar making this deal even sweeter for us sumolings, it seems that they really are going for a money grab and forcing everyone to pony up for 5 codes to unlock 30 FPS!

If you have it, $495 for LiveWebinar in HD at 30FPS for life! Wow! That's a hard deal to pass up. But if you are bootstrapping it, you could go on their website and get one month for $119 and try out the pro version.

I don't think that a single code is a great of a deal HQ quality at 12FPS, you really have to stack 5 codes to make this useful! If you have $500 to drop on this, you then have the chance to try it out for 60 days and then see if it works.

I am currently using WebinarJam. I have a lifetime license from their launch years ago for $250. Even now I think that it's a better deal to get WebinarJam for $39/month (paid annually) which gives you 500 attendees and Full HD! And better yet, they have a deal for 60 days for $1. (Just google for the $1 Trial)

And when these webinars make your investment back you will be able to make your webinar evergreen and put it on autopilot with WebinarJam's EverWebinar.

Another option that I am looking at is another previous Appsumo called Restream.io $60/m and use it for multicasting the live webinar and but their scheduler is another $99/m to make it evergreen as a scheduled looping broadcast. Restream won't have all the functionality as LiveWebinar though, missing the call to action links and buttons, polls, surveys, etc. (Side note, if have Restream from the AppSumo deal, Google "Restream Discount Codes" or write their support for one and get 40% of as a sumoling)

For me, the goal is to use these appsumo tools like LiveWebinar to make more money so that we can afford the pro-tools. I don't like getting watered down AppSumo deals.

In reality, what I really want is to make so much money that I can afford the pro tools and eventually won't have to rely on discounts or appsumo offers. Most of us are bootstrapping though, so we don't have $495 to invest in an appsumo. I feel like the single code offer for LiveWebinar at $99 is a watered-down lifetime deal.

Here is my plan, use LiveWebinar to make back my investment over the next 60 days and compare it's features to WebinarJam. I hope that LiveWebinar sweetens this deal over the next few weeks.

An issue that I found in their redemption system is that there is no way to upgrade a free account to an appsumo account. I created a free account before I bought the appsumo deal, once I tried to redeem the appsumo deal I was forced to do it under a new email!

There is also no way to upgrade your LiveWebinar Appsumo account to a paid account right now, you have to keep stacking codes.

If you can stack 5 codes, do it.
