Black Friday is arguably the worst day of the entire year. People get consumed by, well, consumerism, and do crazy things to get their hands on cheap goods.
I might argue, though, that Black Friday (and the whole weekend leading to Cyber Monday) is still one of the best days of the year.
Why?
Because online shopping, that’s why!
The National Retail Federation expects more people to shop online this year than ever before (more than 137 million), with more people opting for web deals than in-store deals on the whole.
And you’re not limited to material goods by any stretch. If you’re a traveler like me, having more “stuff” probably isn’t your prerogative, anyway.
That’s why I wanted to let you in on some of the best deals I know of on courses, ebooks, and online services–information products that will only take up a tiny slice of space on your hard drive, not collect cobwebs in a storage unit.
These products each carry my personal stamp of approval, and I know you’ll get your bang for your buck on each one.
Without further ado…

The Alex in Wanderland Featured Blogger Program
Alex in Wanderland (penned by my amazing pal Alexandra Baackes) is one of the top-rated travel blogs on the web, consistently landing in Top 50 lists for its inspirational writing, whimsical photography, and the sheer amount of traffic it attracts each month (200,000+ page views).
Alex offers a program to help up-and-coming bloggers get a leg up and reach a new audience of highly-engaged travel enthusiasts through banner advertising, an introduction in her monthly newsletter (which reaches thousands) and shoutouts on social media to her 40,000+ collective fans.
I’ve advertised on Alex’s site in the past, and she consistently sends me some of the highest-quality traffic my site has ever seen–more pages per visit, longer time on site, and crazy low bounce rates (between 30-40%!).
These are the kind of readers who become lifelong fans.
But the program isn’t limited to bloggers–she features all kinds of creatives and online shops!
Advertising in Alex’s featured blogger program typically costs $120 per month, but if you sign up for one of her 5 monthly slots between Friday and Monday, you’ll get $30 off–an absolute steal at $90 for one month, or an even deeper discount of 10% off for a three-month commitment (i.e. $81 per month for three months).
Openings begin January 2017. Click the link above for more details and contact information.
How I Hit #1 on Google: The 2017 Complete SEO Course
This course has completely changed how I think of search engine optimization. For way too long, I thought I could get away with 1) Not caring about SEO at all or 2) Doing the bare minimum using the Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress.
WRONG.
Guys, I don’t even want to think about how much Google traffic I’ve invariably missed out on because I never bothered to learn the ins and outs of SEO. Because it’s a lot, and that hurts.
Instead, I want to pay this course forward. It’s currently on sale for $14 (down from a whopping $175) and the price will go up tomorrow. When I purchased it, another blogger passed the deal on to me, which was $10 at the time. But now that I’ve taken it, I can assure you it’s worth 10x that price.
It will walk you through Google ranking factors you probably didn’t even know existed, introduce you to tons of resources for testing your site speed and conducting keyword research, and even hold your hand through intimidating-sounding tasks like creating XML sitemaps.
Don’t blow off Google any longer–social media might not always be there for you, yo! My site got blocked on Pinterest for a few days awhile back and it was a much-needed wake-up call to not put all my eggs in one basket. I suggest you don’t either!
If you don’t blog with WordPress, never fear–they offer alternative methods for other platforms throughout the course.
Okay, so I had to include one physical product! I just can’t believe how great the deals are on Kindles this week, and it’s such a practical thing for a travel enthusiast to have. Save weight in your bag, and save a few trees while you’re at it.
I hope you enjoy these Black Friday deals and get as much out of them as I have! Some of these are indeed affiliate links, meaning I will earn a commission on any sales. As always, I thank you for your ongoing support of my efforts here at The Sweetest Way!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
