Whatever your thoughts are on Black Friday and Cyber Weekend, one thing is certain: It’s a great time to secure great deals on great products and services.

NOTE: To see an updated version of this article with the latest deals, click here.

But since it’s easy to be overwhelmed at all the offers popping up in your inbox and social media feeds, I figured we could all share the best deals we’ve come across, with a special focus on the needs of digital nomads, PTs, remote workers and other location-independent people.

I’ll make sure this posts is updated with the deals you share below.

VPNs & Online Security

NordVPN: Get 3 years for $2.99/month.

Definitely the best deal you can expect from them during the year. It has grown to become my personal favorite VPN service, as it hits that oh so sweet combination of performance and affordability — especially at this price.

ProtonMail + ProtonVPN: Get two years for the price of one, on either ProtonMail Plus, or ProtonMail Plus & ProtonVPN.

ProtonMail is great, and their VPN is improving too, so if you interested in using your own domain with your ProtonMail account, don’t miss out on this offer.

ExpressVPN: Get an additional 3 months for free when you sign up for a year.

While it’s not the craziest Black Friday deal out there, it is the best performing VPN I’ve used (and I’ve used lots).

TorGuard: Get a 50% lifetime discount on their already affordable VPN plans. Use the coupon CYBERWEEK50.

TorGuard is perhaps not as good as NordVPN and ExpressVPN — especially their apps and connection speeds leaves a bit to be desired. However, at this price it’s an excellent choice for anyone who wants a decent VPN service at a bargain price without committing for a long time ($30 for a year, $50 for two years).

Banking/Fintech

I haven’t come across any deals in this category yet, but do let me know if you know about any!

Software & Business

SE Ranking: Get 30% off any of their already affordable SEO plans.

AppSumo: They are bringing back some of their most popular deals of the year for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

WP Engine: 35% discount on your first payment, which means another 3.5 months for free when signing up for a year.

NameCheap: up to 98% off domains, hosting and more. Check their landing page every hour at Black Friday and Cyber Monday to claim the deals.

E-learning

Udemy: Nearly every course for $9.99 or less depending on your currency. Also get a free course on Cyber Monday if you buy one by Black Friday.

Travel Gear & Electronics

Amazon: There are so many deals on Amazon that I can’t possibly list them all. But if you need any travel gear or electronics (like noise-cancelling headphones, etc) this weekend is the time to look for it.

Hint: For Amazon deals, check out Camel Camel Camel to see how good the deal really is.

The Roost Stand: Take 15% off when using the discount code “roost15off”.

Travel

Trusted Housesitters: 25% off all membership plans (meaning $119 $89.25/year) — use coupon “BLACKFRIDAY25”.

Priority Pass: Get up to 40% off their membership plans.

Expedia: They are dropping a limited set of deals ($100 off flights, 75% off certain hotels, etc) at 9 am Pacific Time on Nov 23, so be sure to check their landing page then.
