This post was originally written about the best Black Friday mega deals 2017. The info has now again been updated for the best Black Friday deals and steals for bloggers in 2019 after 2018. Includes Cyber Monday sales too! ANDD my special bonus. Read on…

Even though I have gone through tons of more courses and ebooks ince last year, I realise that my top picks remain almost the same.

MY criteria for selecting a product as the best deal is simple, if I didn’t have any of these products already, would I actually use this black Friday discount to buy them for myself? (And over time I have hoarded tons of blogging resources that I can choose from!)

YOUR criteria for selecting should be: what do you need help with right NOW. Using the same though, I’m buying two of the things in this list (because I already have and love the rest!)

If you want to ask me personally what I think about course x versus course y, just email me at hena @mending with gold dot com.

Enjoy!

My Favorite Deal For Blog Startup

If you’re a mom with small kids who wants someone to hold your hand and walk you through a solid blogging road map, then you won’t find a better teacher or inspiration than Suzi. Everyone recommends her in every popular blogging group I see, even in EBA. I follow Elite Blog academy (EBA) and love the framework but it’s closed right now plus it’s super expensive. I have gone through many other resources but my favorite after EBA is Suzi’s Blog By Number Course. I regulaly supliment my EBA work with help from this course. If I had to recommend my sister a super detailed course with great results for a smaller budget, this would be the one.

My Favorite Deal For Pinterest Traffic – by Jennifer MAker Discount Code For 25% Off

I think Pinterest Launch Plan ebook by Jennifer Maker is a steal even at the regular price. And for 25% off which makes it $20.25 during this Black Friday sale, it’s a very pocket-friendly investment especially compared to any other Pinterest course.

Here’s another good reason why:

It is the only book that goes from absolute start/zero level to her advance and complete Pinterest strategy. You are not missing out on anything that can set you on the traffic path. If I had to pick one traffic ebook for myself at the beginning of my blogging, or for any new blogger today, this would be it.

She gets about 2000 – 2500 sessions per day on her actual blog but she experimented her entire strategy on a brand new blog to confirm if it will work for others or not. After 28 days that secret experiment blog which no one knew about (she didn’t tell anyone on purpose) was getting 700+ sessions a day.

Of all the Pinterest courses/books I’ve ever gone through, she teaches in the moooooooost easy-to-understand, logical and detailed way.

My Favorite Deal For Google SEO

Lena’s Search Console Keyword Mining Class is the best SEO resource on sale that I know.

I know, because I know Lena and her awesome resources. My all time favorite (after going through half a dozen seo courses) is Lena’s Adventures In Seo but it’s not on sale =( so this is your next best option. It’s one of the only two things I’m buying for myself too. (The rest on this list. I already have and regularly use.)

My Favorite Deal For Email List Growth

Like I mentioned in the section below last year, I had a few popular email marketing courses. I purchased this one too last year and quickly reached my 1k subs in the first few months after implementing less than half of the course.

Let me give you a comparison of a few others I know:

Ruth’s Irressistable eMail is very similar to EBA unit 1-6, almost nothing new. Jennifer Roskamp’s EMail Marketing gcourse is very good, but it’s a tough course, I worked through it and I had to email my subscribers daily, which affected all my other tasks.  Meera Kothand’s Profitable EMail System is excellent. It has everything you need, growth and marketing both! But it’s a lot od info and work to do, I’ve put it on hold till I finish EBA. I found that Jennifer Maker’s List Love, which is primarily focused on email growth and nurture  (with a few bonuses about how to monetize your list) surved my purpose of growing my list very well. It was easy to follow and showed results right away. I didn’t feel intimidated like with the other courses.

My Favorite Deal For Content Creation

Seriously, this is the second time I’m buying Post By Number after losing my login details the first time and I’m too shy to write to admin because I have no email or purchase proof to show. #momlife

Inside this course, Suzi has plug and play formulas for creating headlines, super detailed checklists for blog post formatting, seo optimization tips and what not. You’ll learn how to do simple keyword research, follow a proven structure to write posts that rank so you get more traffic back to your blog.

It’s all the methods she uses to write her own blog posts. This resource is super useful ALSO because I wanted to guest post on Suzi’s mom blog. Going through Post by Number first and following all criteria to optimize our guest post is one of the preliminary requirements but the crazy part is the price. Less than $10? Yes please!

My Favorite Deal For Affiliate Marketing

I paid in full for the Affiliate Marketing For Bloggers- Everything You’re Missing course. I didn’t get it for free with the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit 2018 and even then, but even then I don’t regret buying it. So you’re better off if you avail this limited time discount now!

Here’s why:

If you don’t have an email list and all you can make money from are your blog posts, Carly has a full section chock full of tips and strategies for you. And if you learn from examples, success case studies + those that bombed too!

She shares her mega affiliate launch using an email list down to the exact emails she sent to her list. She also put annotations and notes on those emails for our understanding so we can exactly see how her tips are being put into action.

It’s a gooooood course! You won’t waste money on it.

My Favorite 2018 Black Friday Deals & Discounts for Bloggers

I’m holding off purchasing some of my favorite things this week because I know we’ll be hit with irresistible deals, coupons, and discounts than we can resist come Black Friday.

Here’s how I’m going to make purchases this time: pick ONLY the one most helpful for my ‘CURRENT blogging stage’ so I stay focused.

These are in the order of my most favorites. Anything that I am absolutely NOT excited about, I haven’t put into this list. Also, there’s a special bonus for you if you purchase anything by clicking on an affiliate link in this post. My way of thanking you!

Let’s get to the meaty stuff…

‘Pinterest Launch Plan’ eBook By Jennifer Maker 25% Off

I put all description from here into the latest section. See above.

Click this link to purchase ‘Pinterest Launch Plan’ eBook By Jennifer Maker

No coupon code required. Just click the link above and the 25% discount will be automatically applied.

Note: If you want to apply a 25% discount on her other blogging product List Love Master Course, you can use the code BLACKFRIDAY2018 but since I haven’t taken it myself (because I already have Meera Kothand, and Ruth Soukup, and Jennifer Roskamp’s email list courses which are very awesome but expensive products), I don’t have much to say about it. Know that if you want an email marketing course that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg like it did to me, I can easily recommend List Love Master Course.

First, because I know her over delivering teaching style. You go through her resources and you feel why she charged you so less for all this info.

Secondly, she grew a lit of 60000+ subscribers in 2 years. So she knows her stuff.

The third reason is that I’ve only heard good reviews of this course in closed FB groups.

And the fourth reason you might want to check it out is that it is only $72 right now. None of the other email marketing courses I have are even close to this awesome price.

I got this guide on full price and even then didn’t feel I wasted money. (Which I sometimes feel for some other products by her.) Use the 50% discount before it’s gone.
2. Google Pleaser: Because I loved the previous SEO guide by the potpie girl, I just got this today using the Black Friday discount. It looks very promising and I just skimmed through, it has new keyword tips that I haven’t found in the other gazillion SEO courses I have. I haven’t gone through it all yet though.
3. Pin Signals: You will not understand a big Pinterest key if you don’t know the concepts in this guide. It changed how I pin and named my boards entirely.
