Black Friday is finally here. Time to run around and shop big and save big, right? Most bloggers and internet marketers just wait for this time of the year to grab their most favorite (and long time wished) products/courses/software etc.
You know, shopping is fun. And what if you can shop and still save? That gives you room for more shopping, right?
Absolutely right.
Honestly, this is the most favorite time of the year for me too.
With blogging or any sort of online business, we see to make sure if we are making money. But there is also something else we need to be watching – the amount we spend for our business!
If we cut it off as much as possible, during sale season like this, we are doing a great favor for our business and ourselves! So here we go…

Takeaway
Some of the deals are not yet live. Some run for only one day (like that of Hostgator). Some run on a dimesale (like Commentluv Premium).
My advice to you – act fast and save your hard earned bucks! You will have to wait another year to see one of these again – or may be you won’t see some of these deals ever again (for instance, Commentluv Premium)!
Take action.

Fantastic black Friday deals, Jane! So happy I saw your post on BizSugar. Thanks for sharing this list with us. I think you’re the first list of this kind I’ve seen showcasing the black Friday deals specially for us bloggers, so kudos!
I’ll definitely be checking these out. Thanks again.

Hey Ti,
I’m so glad
Yes, I always love to help bloggers, after all, I am one of them lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Jane.
Good to see all offers at one place
thanks for helping Jane
Awesome collection Jane!
I was just about wondering what would you come up because most people have put up posts for Thanksgiving or on such deals and discounts. But you always cover them up so very well that it becomes easy for us to go through the details of each one.
Thanks for sharing and letting us know about these – much appreciated. Though we really don’t celebrate Thanksgiving our end, but let me take this opportunity to thank you for being such a wonderful person and blogger, and sharing all that you know with all of us.
Hi Jane,
I’ve been thinking about buying SEO PowerSuite for some time now. But, I am using the pro version of SEOmoz and it’s close to perfect for me and my clients. The thing is that it’s expensive and I am paying $199 each month. I am not sure if SEO PowerSuite is better, but it seems that it’s a one-time fee. On the other hand I looked at the details and it seems that Search algo updates is a monthly subscription?
And, I couldn’t find the 50% Black Friday deal. I was looking for Black Friday but I couldn’t see the words anywhere, but I did find a discount, but it wasn’t 50%, it was $599, regularly $999. A great discount, but not 50%
Thanks for the eye-opener Jens! Modified the post. Yes the algo update is free for the first 6 months as far as I know and then its a subscription.
Thanks
Do you know if I can add my logo to the reports? I am sending my clients weekly and monthly reports, and it would be great if I could add my logo to the reports – it makes it more personal
Harleena, Thanks so much for your continued support! thanks for sharing this post
I’m so glad to share stuff with other bloggers!
I have just ordered the entreprise version of SEO Powersuite via your link. Let me know if you don’t get the commission. I will contact them and let them know.
Thanks SO much Jens. But unfortunately the commission doesn’t show up! This is strange. Glad you let me know. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known. I guess only you can enquire about this coz I don’t have a proof that you went through my link?
What’s your affiliate name?
I will contact them asap.
My Plimus affiliate username is “janesheeba” and account name is Problogging Success. Thanks again Jens!
I have just sent them a support ticket
Oh thanks so much Jens! Let’s see what they come up with!
I have just received an email from support and it says: “As we can see, the order was processed today, so most likely the commission hasn’t been transferred to the person via whom you purchased the software. Please wait till the end of the day, and if the commission isn’t transferred, please contact us again and we will manually send it to ‘janesheeba’ using v2v method. ”
Relieved! I’ll keep you posted Jens
Can’t thank you enough!
Hi Jens, my affiliate portal doesn’t show the commission yet! And I did submit a support ticket at the same time as you and haven’t heard from them yet!
Thank you Jane for sharing all offers in one place, I have found one product for me
Which one is it Bilal? Hope you get yours on time!
I am your one of secret follower, I always follow your guest posts, today I buy Guest Blogging Champion
The best section of this eBook is “Module 7 – How to Pitch” which is more related to me. I get many tips from your ideas
Bilal I’m SO glad and thankful
Thank you Jane for this awesome collection. I’m planning to buy CommentLuv Premium and a BlueHost account. I already have HostGator and don’t want to add one more package there. I guess it is better to experience another service.
BTW, your CommeneLuv is not working now?
Hey Suresh, Commentluv offer starts at 00:01 Friday morning and runs until Monday midnight.
I’ll try my best to grab it on time.
As you’ve said somewhere set up a timer lol!
Yup! because it is our Saturday when black Friday begins. I’ve set up timer on my mobile.
BTW, what are you planning to buy this time?
These are some good deals for Black friday. Being a a blogger myself i too now have a handy list of offers to give away to my readers. I hope they find acceptance to it.
Sure George its a great thing to spread the word.
My favorite ones are HostGator and Studiopress All Themes package. My advice is to purchase immediately since it will help you pretty much in the future, especially for the themes from Studiopress.
They’re my favorites as well Robert! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Jane,
Nice collection of deals as this is the best time to have all the products that we need for our blog. I was looking for some good eBooks and planned to buy the Pro blogging Action Plan. Thanks for the discount Jane.
You’re very welcome Sneha
Go ahead and grab your copy of the ebook. I’m sure you’ll find it useful.
Very good stuff here!
Every name sounds good and worth checking out!
You’re welcome Sam.
Nice list you have there. I knew about some of these but others are pretty new to me.
One question I have is with the GetResponse deal. Is it for Black Friday? I saw somewhere else where it said that the deal was for Cyber Monday only.
Wow 60% discount on Thesisawesome surly going to buy it now. Thanks for sharing Jane.
That’s a good investment Mohsin!
Hi Jane,
Very awesome discounts! Looks like I could shop more than what I expected.
That’s typical Sarah
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for your post Jane. I am off to GoDaddy to get some more domains:))
Good luck with your purchase Manilak. And thanks for your support.
Cool list.
Seems like Black Friday is a crazy day for both the marketers and customers
By the way, I was wondering the effort you might have taken for building up this list and that too in time. I really appreciate that
You’re welcome James!
Impressive Jane! Very good list. Thinking to purchase Comluv premium. Would be happier if there is a good offer from Aweber too.
Awesome deals Jane, thanks for sharing these, I had my eyes on the HostGator offer.
That’s weird. But, should I wait until Monday to contact them? They promised me that they’ll sort it out and that they’ll give you the commission even if the system doesn’t show it.
Yes Jens.. we will wait until Monday. Coz their support site says they are not fully staffed on weekends
Thanks Jane i was looking to buy thesis , is the offer still valid ?
I think CommentLuv Premium is a good choice for me, but the others also look promising. So what should I buy?
Hi Jane,
A unique post!!! I never came across such a list anytime before. All are present under one umbrella. Thanks for sharing this great and useful list with us.
Hey Jane, really these are some amazing deals that you have mentioned in this post. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing these deals; each one looks just as tempting as the other.
Definitely a lot of great deals this year. I wish they were around for the entire year, but that is just me being cheap…lol. Thank you for sharing this list.
good one
For me getting a new domain and hosting plan is not only the best black friday deals, it is also one of the best investment if utilized properly.
The most disappointed Black Friday deal that I missed is CommentLuv Plugin. It’s only about $20+ but I missed it and realize after the deal is over. poor me.
Oh dear!
