I don’t know how you feel, but Black Friday can be overwhelming.
Sales emails are landing in my inbox every five minutes, Black Friday 2019 ads are popping up in my Facebook feed, and TV commercials are sharing this amazing discount or that exclusive coupon code.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good deal, and appreciate the fact that people are sharing stuff that’ll save me money! It’s just so much to sift through, ya know?
That’s why I’ve gathered up some of my favorite Black Friday deals for bloggers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.
Better yet? These deals can be snagged right from the comfort of your couch. What’s better than sitting in your PJ’s, eating Thanksgiving leftovers, and shopping online?!
P.S.: Be sure to take advantage of cash-back apps when doing your online shopping! A few dollars back here and there can really add up.
If you don’t use cashback sites yet, I’d suggest Rakuten (formely eBates) and TopCashback. Rakuten gives users $10 back on their first qualifying purchase of $25 or more and TopCashback has tons of site options, like Amazon!
Amazon
WHAT: Amazon will have many things on sale from now until Cyber Monday, with its most popular deals on Amazon devices, including Echo speakers, Ring doorbell, Fire tablets, and Kindle eReaders.
WHEN: The sale officially runs from Friday, November 22nd until Friday, November 29th. However, Amazon’s already releasing deals on their Holideals page (get it…holidays…but with deals?) and will have deals on Cyber Monday, December 2nd, as well.
Bluchic
One of my absolute favorite places for gorgeous, functional, and user-friendly website tools. They have some of the prettiest WordPress themes (like the one I’m currently using!) as well as stunning, must-have templates.
WHAT: Bluchic will be offering 30% off ANY products in the Bluchic shop. I personally use the Maggie WordPress Theme but they’re also offering 30% off for the following products:
Bluchic Feminine WordPress themes are the perfect balance of beauty and simplicity, so you can easily create the beautiful website your business deserves.
The perfect solution for online business owners looking to create professionally designed lead magnets, without the cost of working with a designer or the hassles of designing!
Bluchic will also have two special bundle offers (described below) along with fast action bonuses for the first 50 customers who purchase one of the bundles below or have $300 in their cart (before the 30% off):
- ChicServe
- Landing Page Templates
- Canva Social Media Templates
- Canva Lead Magnet Templates
- ChicShop
- Landing Page Templates
- Canva Social Media Templates
- Canva Lead Magnet Templates
WHEN: This promotion will run from 9:00pm ET on Thursday, November 28 to 11:59 pm ET on Monday, December 2.
Creative Market
My go-to for my design needs. I’ve purchased some of my favorite graphics and fonts (like the one shown below!) from this site, and I love being able to support independent creators.
WHAT: 20% off any product, excluding bundles, using the code 000000FRIDAY.
WHEN: November 26th until December 4th @ 9 AM PST
Kimi Kinsey
I’m a sucker for a good course…and for ways to increase my income, passively. Kimi’s Affiliate Marketing for Bloggers course was the first I took to learn more about affiliate marketing, and is perfect for individuals who are brand spankin’ new to the affiliate marketing world or don’t know where to begin.
WHAT: Kimi is offering 30% off two of her courses, Designing with Typography, as well as Affiliate Marketing for Bloggers.
WHEN: Thursday November 28th at 11pm ET to Tuesday December 3rd at 2am EST
If you’re hoping to make passive income part of your business plans next year, I suggest learning the strategies behind great affiliate marketing. There’s no inventory to track, and you get to make money by recommending your favorite products, tools, and services. Best of all… you can scale it and see major growth with every blog post you write!
Sidenote: I would suggest this course for people just starting out in affiliate marketing (or wanting to), as the concepts it discusses (affiliate network choices, nofollow links, etc.) are concepts that people already doing affiliate marketing may be familiar with.
How strong are your graphics? Truth is… we could all use a little help in the design department – especially when it comes to utilizing fonts and creating attractive layouts that get people looking and clicking.
Designing with Typography is going to teach you everything you need to know about excellent design that converts. I’m talking about learning how to make beautiful Pinterest images that stand out and get traffic to your website. You’ll walk away from this course feeling confident about your graphics and you’ll be so glad you enrolled!
Although this isn’t included in the Black Friday sale, it’s perfect for people interested in becoming Amazon Associates (aka affiliates).
Amazon is a *prime* choice (pun intended) for bloggers looking to monetize their blogs with affiliate marketing, as most niches have audiences shopping on Amazon. This guide has some of Kimi’s favorite Amazon tips all wrapped up in a neat little book so you can rock the Amazon Associates game in no time!
Target
I love Target for their wide variety of products, including their lovely home and office decor!
WHAT: Including everything from TVs to board games, Target has tons of sales for Black Friday (a 54 page ad full, to be exact). I’m putting it on this list specifically due to their discount on one of my favorite products: the Google Home mini.
I got this as a gift last year, and use it non-stop. I love being able to play a certain song, playlist, or podcast from the comfort of my desk, with the ability to change the volume or pause it without stopping what I’m doing.
WHEN: The prices shown in the ad are valid from November 28th until November 30th, although they have exclusive doorbuster deals available on Wednesday, November 27th.
ThriftBooks
Whether you need a break from blogging, want to learn something new, or simply want to curl up with a good book, Thriftbooks is my favorite platform for getting books delivered to my door affordably. Most of my books have been $3 or $4. Let the reading marathon commence.
Ultimate Bundles
When I discovered Ultimate Bundles earlier this year, I was so excited.
These bundles include an entire assortment of AMAZING digital products (ebooks, courses, etc.) covering a variety of topics, for a fraction of the cost. I ended up purchasing the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, and now I just want to buy all the things. The five courses I’ve taken from the bundle alone have been 100% worth it.
WHAT: For Black Friday, Ultimate Bundles is offering more than 25% off their Master Your Money bundle. Here are some of my favorite assets:

Thanks so much for reading, Nadia 😊 I couldn’t agree more! I love reading (and creating) posts like this where deals are centralized, instead of having 25 tabs of ideas open in Google haha. I love purchasing gifts for friends and family on Black Friday as well- happy shopping!
Oh. My. Goodness.
I’m so glad I saw this before I jumped into the sales blindly!
This is ridiculously helpful! Thank you so so much!

Yay! Thanks for reading, Laura 😊 saving money is the best!
Thanks for letting us know where we can find the deals this year. I agree that Black Friday can be overwhelming that’s why I try to shop early.
You’re so welcome, Kathy 🙂 shopping early is super smart! I mainly shop online now so I don’t have to deal with the cold or the crowds haha
Thanks for sharing the good deals. I’ve been looking at a couple of these the past few weeks like Bluechic and Creative Market. I’m debating purchasing a theme, but trying to be frugal too as I get my business up and going.
Sure thing Sabrina! I totally understand…purchasing a theme was a big choice overall but to me it was 100% worth the investment! It has everything I need in a theme and took away a LOT of the pressure of launching my site 😊 best of luck with whatever you decide!
I had never heard of thrift books! I will be checking that out for sure. Thank you for great tips for Black Friday 🙂
It’s my pleasure! Thriftbooks is my favorite place to fuel my book obsession 😍 happy shopping!

They are definitely great investments for you business! Happy shopping 🙂
You’ve shared some GREAT sales, especially for those looking to get started in blogging or current bloggers looking for a change or to take their blogging to the next level! I’ll definitely have to check some of these deals out!
Yes!!! Being a new blogger myself, I wanted to share things that have helped me personally… especially since Black Friday is usually the best time to score deals on all the essentials! Thanks for reading, Britt 😊
