It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Ah yes, my favorite time of year. Not because I get to stuff myself with all sorts of delicious food and spend time with my family. I mean, that’s just an added bonus. It’s my favorite time of year because that means BLACK FRIDAY and CYBER MONDAY are coming! You won’t catch me standing in any lines or fighting over a 60 inch TV, but you will find me loading up on business essentials for the low. If you are a blogger, creative, business owner, etc this is the best time of year to get deep discounts on blogging essentials. From web hosting, to course creations, email marketing and everything in between, now is the time to invest in the tools that will help scale your brand and business. You are able to grab premium products at unfathomable low prices! If it’s not an urgent or dire need, I purposefully wait until Black Friday and Cyber Monday to buy the best blogging tools and courses.
This year, I’ve made it easy for you. I’ve compiled a list of some essentials that you should have in your blogger toolkit. So, forgo those insanely long lines; instead, roll out of bed, grab you a mug of something deliciously warm, cozy up behind your computer and check out these amazing Black Friday Deals for Bloggers.

Black Friday Deals for VPNs
TunnelBear VPN 2021
Want to tune in to the final season of your favorite show, but you’re in another country that has restrictions on some apps flashbacks of me trying to watch Game of Thrones in Mexico? Get you a VPN. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and essentially it lets you browse the interwebs from a different IP address than where you are currently located. For example, I was in Mexico and could not watch Game of Thrones because the HBO Now app is only available in the U.S. So, I activated my TunnelBear VPN, which changed my IP address and made it appear that I am in the U.S. and wham bam thank you ma’am, I could watch the full final season of GoT without a hitch.
What’s the Deal?
Get 58% off TunnelBear’s two-year plan, which is only $4.16/month!
Nord VPN Black Friday Deals 2021
Nord is another VPN service that I highly recommend. Unlike TunnelBear, which I recently switched from, you can select specific locations vs only specific countries. For example, I can select an IP address out of Atlanta, versus only having the option to select an IP address from the United States.
What’s the Deal?
Get 68% off Nord’s two-year plan PLUS a bonus gift. When you purchase the two-year plan, you will be randomly gifted a free bonus extension. You could be given 2 years for free, 1 year for free or 1 month for free, on top of the two-year plan you purchased. So, you can potentially get up to 4 years free!
Nord’s Cyber Deal is live now!
But, here’s an even bigger bonus!
Sign up now on Rakuten and get $40 cash back! Then you can do like I did and purchase your NordVPN through Rakuten and get up to an additional $60% cash back! I earned over $77 cash back just from this one purchase! A two-year plan costs about $89, so essentially I only paid $12 for a 2-year VPN plan. Talk about WINNING!
Black Friday Deals for Miscellaneous Items
Grammerly Black Friday Deals 2021
