The LifterLMS Lifetime Deal is available from June 23 to Thursday, June 25.

He emphasizes how the lifetime license offers lifetime support, limitless website usage, continuing upgrades, security improvements, and access to all existing and future LifterLMS add-ons, all without the need for recurrent membership costs. Chris adds that LifterLMS keeps innovating by introducing new features and add-ons, guaranteeing lifelong clients enjoy growing value over time without incurring extra expenses. He stresses that because the offer may drastically lower long-term costs, it is especially appealing to companies that want to use their LMS platform for a few of years.

Chris also explains the rationale behind providing a lifetime license, pointing out that LifterLMS decided to address recurring customer demand for a one-time purchase option even though subscription models are frequently more lucrative for software firms.

Episode Transcript:

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to create, launch, and scale a high-value online training program. I’m your guide, Chris Badgett. I’m the co-founder of LifterLMS, the most powerful learning management system for WordPress. Stay to the end. I’ve got something special for you. Enjoy the show

What’s going on? It’s Chris from LifterLMS, and in this solo podcast episode, this is gonna be a little different. This is gonna be more of an announcement episode, and what I’m announcing to you today is our limited time summer LifterLMS Infinity Bundle lifetime deal. So that’s happening between Tuesday, June 23, through Thursday, June 25.

So if you’re interested in getting a LifterLMS lifetime license, pay attention to this episode, ’cause it’s only gonna be up for a short time in terms of the sale. So basically, what a lifetime license is at LifterLMS is you buy it, and if you’re existing customer, you can upgrade and get prorated, but if you’re brand new and you’re ready to go all in on LifterLMS, we are offering a 70% discount on the LifterLMS Infinity Bundle lifetime license.

So what is a lifetime license? Basically, you get everything that LifterLMS makes. So our top plan, called the Infinity Bundle, has all the software add-ons and everything we offer for now and into the future, you get forever with your Infinity Bundle lifetime license. So a lifetime license essentially is a lifetime of no renewal payments.

So I don’t know if you’re anything like me, but I’m allergic to subscriptions. I have so many subscriptions, whether they’re monthly or annual, that I just don’t really want another one. So if you’d prefer to pay once and never have to pay again, that option is available to you with the LifterLMS lifetime license.

The other cool thing about the lifetime license is it’s available for use on an unlimited number of sites. So there’s many different reasons why some people care about having unlimited sites available for use on their LifterLMS license. The first one is that if you build LMS websites with LifterLMS for your, for clients as an agency or as a freelancer, you don’t have to keep buying it again for every client.

So you can use it on unlimited sites for life, which is pretty cool. The other reason people do this is because some people are what I call serial education entrepreneurs. So what that means is they ha- they do a lot of things. I’m thinking of LifterLMS customer Ziv Raviv, who has Balloon Artist Academy, which is a niche thing where he made a ton of money teaching people how to tie animal balloons.

If you wanna learn about that, there’s… We’ve interviewed Ziv on this podcast multiple times. But Ziv has also done other courses and websites with LifterLMS in the marriage and relationships niche and other niches. He also runs an agency where he uses LifterLMS for his clients, so he’s the perfect candidate for a lifetime license.

I believe he has one, actually. The third one is access to all the software that LifterLMS makes. See, LifterLMS is not static. We continue to innovate, we continue to make new add-ons, solve new challenges- and just continually deliver new value to LifterLMS customers. So as an example, in the past year we’ve released several add-ons, including the cart abandonment add-on.

We have Excuse me. The LifterLMS Continuing Education add-on. We did LifterLMS Events. We’ve recently added more stuff to the LifterLMS Groups add-on for automated groups, e-commerce, and so on. We’re currently working on a Name Your Price add-on and there’s many more. So we continue to release new add-ons, and not only do you get all the software in its current state that LifterLMS makes, you get all the updates, and by the way, we launch new software frequently, like new add-ons, and you will get access to those for life without having to pay for them.

so the continuous innovation of LifterLMS and all the updates and the security enhancements and so on is included, and no longer, if you get a lifetime license, do you have to pay every year on an annual license to retain that privilege to the new updates and new add-ons. And the other great thing that we do, which some people don’t do when they offer a lifetime license, is we offer support as well.

Some people do a lifetime license, but you can’t contact support or whatever. We don’t do that at LifterLMS. We see support as part of the product, and whether you’re using our ticket system, our help desk, and talking to the technical support team at LifterLMS, you get that for life, so you don’t have to maintain an annual license year over year.

So it’s if your platform is gonna be around for at least three years, like if your learning platform is here to stay, it makes sense to at least consider getting a lifetime license, ’cause you’ll actually end up paying less. So you cut your costs, and going forward, LifterLMS, you’ve paid for, you have it for life, you never have to worry about it again.

So why do we run lifetime licenses at LifterLMS? For about eight years or so, we never did. We said we would never do it, but people kept asking for it over and over again, “Hey, do you guys have a lifetime license? Can I get a lifetime license?” So we decided to offer it to meet the need, and honestly, I was a little overwhelmed at the demand for the lifetime license, which is great.

As a software company, in theory it’s actually better to not offer a lifetime license. Your business technically looks better on paper if you have all these subscriptions that are constantly renewing and all this. But at LifterLMS, we take a completely different approach.

We’re not trying to increase the valuation of our company. We have no plans to sell. We just wanna deliver the most value possible to our users, and we see the lifetime license as a great partnership with our users who are the most committed, who are the most successful, and it gives them a way to save a lot of money while, participating in LifterLMS for life.

We’d rather have a lot of people for a long time, and if they’re willing and able and interested in investing in a lifetime license, we really appreciate that. And, it’s just something that we do to meet the need that LifterLMS users ask for. Going back to the subscription fatigue issue, there are a lot of people who just don’t want another subscription that they have to keep paying for year after year, month after month, and we get that.

We’re okay with that because LifterLMS is distributed software. It, you put it on your website. There’s not a huge expense for us to maintain your, your website. That’s on you. So if you want a lifetime license so you can focus your resources and capital on other things, we are there for that.

So when we do these kinds of things, a couple things happen. One is we get people that only get lifetime licenses. They don’t want a subscription, even if it’s annual. And then we also get existing LifterLMS customers who have been around for a long time and have already spent way more value or way more cost on maintaining their annual license, and they’re still going year after year, that they’ve already spent more than the cost of a lifetime license, and it just makes sense to go ahead and invest in a lifetime license while it’s on sale during our discount between June 23 to June 25.

It’s 70% off, and it’s just the time is right. They’ve already spent that much. Their learning platform is here to stay, and they’re ready to go and just commit to a lifetime license. There’s also folks who have just gotten started with LifterLMS. Maybe they’re just on the Earth bundle, which is our e-commerce bundle with Stripe and PayPal and WooCommerce and cart abandonment recovery, and they they wanna upgrade and get some of the more advanced add-ons and other integrations that we have.

But when the lifetime license becomes available and it’s on sale- They just s- cut to the chase and they go straight yeah, I was thinking about upgrading to the Infinity bundle anyways.” I have a lot of faith that my learning platform is here to stay for the long run, so I’m gonna go ahead and invest in my upgrade, and while I’m doing that, I might as well get the lifetime license, ’cause I’m ready to roll.

So that’s cool. And the other thing to mention is, with our support, it’s not just tech support. We do live calls. We invest, like in our office hours mastermind, which is available to Universe Bundle and Infinity Bundle plan-level holders. But when you do it, when you have Lifetime, you get access to that live group call on Zoom for life.

So that’s a great benefit. A lot of people really appreciate the ability to not just interact with the faceless website or whatever. Like LifterLMS, we believe in actually connecting and helping our people as much as we possibly can, including on the office hours mastermind live calls which when you get the Lifetime license, you have access to those for life, which is super helpful.

Some people come to those calls, and they will go to, a couple or three or four and get their initial just getting started questions answered and request live demos and all of this. That’s fine. There’s other folks that come regularly. There’s other folks that come and then maybe they disappear for a while, and then maybe they come back ’cause they have a new project, or they have new questions, or LifterLMS releases a new add-on, like we recently released with LifterLMS Cart Abandonment or LifterLMS Events, and we help them with more questions, so they, re-engage.

So I would encourage you to explore the Lifetime license while it’s on sale at a seventy percent discount. You can find it over at lifterlms.com/lifetime. And keep in mind, LifterLMS does a lot of things. It’s a very flexible, customizable platform, and you may not need every single advanced add-on that we make, but even the ones that you do need, or maybe you’re using sixty percent of them or something, are really valuable to your business, so that’s important.

Another thing we see people do with a Lifetime license is they’re actually working with their accountant. Now, this is not accounting, tax, or legal advice, but I know some people like to record business expenses, like on a certain year. Let’s say they had a lot of growth, and they’re trying to reduce taxes.

So they invest more heavily in things like software or getting a new computer or a new video camera and so on. So LifterLMS can come in handy with the lifetime license in terms of when a education company is looking to invest significantly in their expenses, but not expenses like the tools that they use.

So sometimes it just makes sense from that accounting perspective. So how do you get the lifetime license? All you need to do is go to lifterlms.com/lifetime and go there on the sale dates, which is Tuesday, June 16th through Thursday, June 18th, and if you go there, the LifterLMS lifetime sale will be on sale during that time, and you can get the 70% discount, which is huge.

So go during that time. We do not close the lifetime license after the sale. It’s still up. It’s just going back up to the full retail price, which you’ll see on lifterlms.com/lifetime. So if you come on, for example, Friday, June 19th, the sale will h- will be over. So if you’re listening to this late, I apologize But we do offer this sale only in a limited window, ’cause if we offered it all the time, too much, it’s just too many lifetime licenses.

So it’s a special opportunity if you wanna get the LifterLMS Infinity Bundle lifetime license. If you have any questions at all about the lifetime license or all the add-ons included, or you’re on the fence, or you wanna talk to your business partner, or you have a web professional that’s helping you, we’re here for any questions related to that.

And if you’re an existing LifterLMS customer, all you have to do is reach out to us, and we’re gonna pro-rate the remaining value on your existing license. So what does that mean? That means that, let’s say you just bought the Infinity Bundle and you have, let’s say, $700 of value left on your Infinity Bundle annual subscription.

What we- we’re gonna do is we’re gonna create a custom coupon code for you so that you can get the 70% off, and then we’re gonna subtract an additional $700 off, so you’re gonna get the lifetime license even cheaper. So if you’re an existing LifterLMS customer with an active license, no matter what plan you have we will pro-rate you.

So time is of the essence here because it is only between June 23 and June 25. So if you’re curious about the lifetime license and you wanna get prorated, even if you’re not 100% sure that you’re ready to move forward with it, at least reach out to us, and in the subject line of your email, put the words “LTD upgrade.”

And what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna go look at your account, see the remaining value on your existing license, and give you a custom coupon code so that you can upgrade to the lifetime license at the 70% discount, plus save an additional whatever the amount of value that is currently left on your existing license.

So that’s it. If your learning plan is here to stay, the lifetime license on a deep discount sale is available for you. Reach out to us. It is between June 23 and June 25 only. It’s great to be with you on the journey. You’ll be joining a special community of our lifetime license holders. There are many of those, and we really appreciate it.

So you’re investing in your business, you’re canceling a subscription, you’re locking in or reducing future expenses, and you’re locking in all the future value that LifterLMS is going to continue to create. LifterLMS has been around for 13 years now. We’re not going anywhere. We’re still founder-led.

That’s me. I’m one of the co-founders of LifterLMS. I’m still exciting. I love what we do here at LifterLMS. I love our team. I love working with the education entrepreneurs and the LMS website pr- building professionals out there that build with LifterLMS, and we’re here for you.
