Just to let you know that the focus for the Small Business Deals: October 2023 Edition will be mainly about helping you to achieve your goals before 2023 ends.
Congratulations if you managed to achieve your goals way before 2024 is here upon us.
But for the rest of us who still haven’t achieved any of the goals yet, fret not since you still have time to achieve them all.
It doesn’t matter whether you want to get the writing done or you want your author website to be up and running by the end of the year, there will always be deals that can help you with that.
Not going to lie that you don’t see that many deals in this post considering I always publish this post at the beginning of each month.
But I can assure you there will be more deals to come.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at all the deals that you certainly don’t want to miss in this month’s Small Business Deals: October 2023 Edition post.
Take a step back and realign your focus with this LSW Morning Notes
Okay, I admit that three months may not be enough to achieve your big goals. But I can assure you it’s more than enough for you to achieve your small goals.
Regardless of how big or small those goals are, you need to have clarity on what you should do to make those goals a reality.
And if clarity is what you need, then the LSW Morning Notes will come in handy for you.
This undated journal comes with a goal exercise where you can write down to set your intention for the day and identify the obstacles that may come your way.
Apart from the goal-setting exercise, it also comes with other tools to help you achieve your goals such as monthly reviews, gratitude exercises, and three-month reviews.
Of course, you can do the same exercise on a blank journal.
But if you want something more structured, then I highly recommend you get the journal right here on the LSW London website:
Take your line editing process to the next level with ProWritingAid
If one of your goals for this year is to get your book published, then you will need a tool like ProWritingAid to speed up the line editing process.
All you need to do is to highlight which sentences you want to rewrite and it will come up with suggestions that fit the context.
Want to see ProWritingAid in action? You can read my experience with using ProWritingAid right here.
Just to let you know ProWritingAid is free to sign up. But if you want unlimited access to the rephrase feature, then you will need to upgrade to the premium version.
Think ProWritingAid can help you with making the line editing process a lot quicker?
You can sign up for ProWritingAid right here:
Use the coupon code HONEY20 to get 20% off on any of your preferred plans.
Polish your draft before you hit the publish button with Grammarly
Yes, you can use ProWritingAid for grammar checking and vocabulary suggestions. But I still think that Grammarly is far superior when it comes to grammar checking.
Strange but true, I find that Grammarly managed to detect a lot more grammatical errors than ProWritingAid.
That’s what I noticed when I was working on republishing the brand-new edition of my Trigger Locked series.
So, don’t discard Grammarly just yet if you’re like me who has already using ProWritingAid.
Where does Grammarly fit if you should use it in conjunction with ProWritingAid, you ask?
Well, you can use Grammarly as a final check for any errors that tend to slip under the radar. That’s how I use Grammarly in my editing process.
Just like ProWritingAid, Grammarly is also free to sign up.
But if you want other tools that can improve your writing such as tone detection, word choice, and sentence variety, then you will need to upgrade to the premium plan.
Interested in giving Grammarly a try?

Get started with selling directly on your website with this WP Engine’s WooCommerce plan
Well, guess what? I still believe it’s never too late for you to start selling directly on your website.
And yes, even for something technical like WooCommerce.
If you’re thinking about using WooCommerce to sell directly on your website, then you certainly don’t want to miss this amazing deal from WP Engine.
There’s no doubt you’ll save more if you opt for an annual plan of any kind, not just the WooCommerce plan.
But if you sign up for any of the annual WooCommerce plans before October 31, 2023, you’ll get 4 months free.
Just to let you know the WooCommerce plan isn’t just solely for those who want to run a WooCommerce store.
You can still use the same plan to host your author website and have WooCommerce running on the side.
The only difference between the WooCommerce plan and their usual WordPress hosting is that it has features that are specific to WooCommerce.
Things like the instant store search and WordPress themes specifically for the WooCommerce store.
Curious about the WP Engine’s WooCommerce plan? You can learn more about it right here:

Save more on the new domain name during Namecheap’s birthday offer
Thinking about getting a domain name for your brand-new website? If that’s you, then you surely don’t want to miss this amazing offer from Namecheap.
Namecheap is currently running a special promotion where you can get up to 42% off on the .COM and .ORG domain name.
Thinking about transferring your domain name to Namecheap instead?
Well, you can get up to 34% off when you transfer your domain name during the sales period.
For more information about the offer, you can take a look at them right here:
While the offer ends on October 11, Namecheap is also running a special offer where you can get 15% off any of their service renewals.
It can be anything that you bought from Namecheap such as domain name, hosting, email hosting, premium DNS, and SSL certificate.
But unlike any other offers, the renewal offer will only be available from October 10 until October 11.
So, don’t forget to add a reminder to your calendar if you don’t want to miss this chance to save on any of their product’s renewal fees.
I already added the reminder on my Google Calendar since both of my domain names are on Namecheap. If you use anything from Namecheap, then I highly suggest you do the same too.
Yet another sale from Namecheap
With this month being Cyber Security Awareness Month, Namecheap is currently running a promotion where you can get up to 89% off on any of their web security services.
And yes, that includes their VPN service, FastVPN.
What I love about their VPN service is that it costs less than the VPN services that we tend to hear a lot on YouTube.
Yes, the price will revert to the usual price in your second month or year since the promo price is only valid for your first month or year.
But it’s still cheaper compared to many VPN services out there.
If you’re thinking about getting yourself a VPN service and any other Namecheap’s web security services, you can take a look at the sale right here:
This sale will only be available until October 30, 2023.
Another new WordPress theme from Bluchic
Bluchic is here with another new WordPress theme called ChicGlow. It’s a premium WordPress theme that allows you to highlight your best work to your potential clients.
If you’re an author who also works with clients, then you may want to have a look at this new theme from Bluchic.
To celebrate the new release of the theme, Bluchic is currently running a promotion where you can get 20% off on the theme and also the theme bundle.
Wondering what the theme looks like? You can take a look at the demo right here on the theme’s page:
Bluchic new WordPress theme, ChicGlow
Keep in mind that the promotion will only be available until October 30, 2023. So, don’t miss your chance if you’d like to get the theme or the theme bundle at a discount.
