Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving or not, for many the frenzied sale activity on the weekend following Thanksgiving - from Black Friday to Cyber Monday - does present a great opportunity to take advantage of some incredible deals on things that will be useful to you and your blog.
As bloggers it’s a good time to reflect and take stock of 2017, and also to make plans for 2018. Some of these plans may involve changing or developing your blogging in new directions and perhaps employing new tools or services to help you do that.
At ProBlogger we’re thankful for our vibrant community of bloggers who are all striving to improve and follow their own individual but intertwined paths to have a positive impact on people’s lives. We’re gearing up for a big 2018, helping you improve your blog and helping new bloggers to get started on the rich and rewarding journey of blogging. Specifically, we’re launching a ProBlogger blogging course in the New Year.
We’ve reached out to our preferred suppliers (for whom we’re an affiliate meaning I get a commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links, at no cost to you) and put together some great deals to offer you on tools and services for your blog. We’ve combined it with a 50% discount off all of our eBooks (and our already discounted full library) to give you a head start on a successful year of blogging in 2018.
PROBLOGGER EBOOKS
In anticipation of our new courses next year, we will be retiring our eBooks, even though they’re great evergreen resources. Enjoy 50% off any of the eBooks you haven’t yet added to your collection, or the complete library until midnight PST on Monday 27th November.

Whilst Bluehost is great if you’re just starting out, we’re also hearing a lot of very good things about WPEngine if you’re looking for hosting of an established site with more traffic (or want to position yourself for that in the future). They are more expensive but are WordPress specialists and are doing some great things for bloggers.
*Offer valid for new customers purchasing any Personal, Professional, or Business plan only
Sale on now until Monday, November 27th 12:00am CST timezone.

blog design & themes
25% off for new customers
The premium theme supplier that I have used over the years and highly recommend is StudioPress. I’ve used their themes in the early days of numerous blogs and love their design but also support. Updating your theme is a great option to give your blog a new and improved feel.

unBlack Friday
Something a little different from Thrive Themes - no discounts (you can read their excellent reason here), but 50% of revenue from Thrive Membership sales during Black Friday (only) go to the charity micro-loan platform Kiva.org. To join in, become a member on Friday (if you're not a member yet). Or tell your friends to join on Friday (if you're already a member).
12am Friday to 11:59pm Monday, in your own local time zone
And on that last note, only buy something if you think it will really help you make a difference to your blog, not just because there are deals on. As an affiliate partner we do get commissions which help us keep the blog and free Facebook Group running. What? You don't know about our group? Come and join us here.
Thanks for the list of choices you have advertised Darren.
These are some awesome list. Thank you for sharing. I’ll definitely take these into consideration.
Cheers!
thanks for the list this is relly helful
Hi Darren,
I love Black Friday and Cyber Monday. As a blogger, there are always tools and resources we could use to grow out blogs. I always pick up some tools and resources every year.
Last year, I paid for a 3-year subscription on an email auto responder service. I also picked up some plugins and courses. I ended up saving over $500 on my purchases.
This year, I won’t really be picking up a lot as I got pretty much everything last year. However, it’s nice to know that your ebooks are on sale.
Maybe I’ll check one of those out. Thanks for sharing these sales with us.
Have a great day :)
Susan
