Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming and there are sure to be lots of amazing deals this week and next week.
Not long ago you had to shlep or camp out to get the best deals, but these days you can find the best deals from the comfort of your home.
The catch is that many deals will only last for a very short period of time, so be sure that you follow @DansDeals on Twitter and that you are enrolled.
This post has screenshots and describes the simple process for enabling text messages whenever a deal is posted on this site. All you need to do is signup for Twitter, enable SMS messages, click to follow @DansDeals, and then use the drop-down menu on the @DansDeals page to enable mobile notifications from DansDeals. The whole process won’t take more than a minute!
If you opt into notifications via Twitter’s 40404 fast follow without actually following @DansDeals with a Twitter account then you will only receive a limited number of daily alerts and you may miss out on some great deals.
We will be posting deals throughout the night from this Thursday through next Monday and many of Amazon’s best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals will start at 3am EST. Be sure to choose the hours of the night that you don’t want to be disturbed by messages.
There are over 76,000 DansDeals followers on Twitter, so be sure to take advantage of the best deals as soon as you get the alert!
Have a deal tip? Post it on the DansDeals Forum’s Deals Board to earn hat tips that can earn you rewards. Past rewards have included an all-expense paid dinner at Mike’s Bistro for people with at least 10 hat tips and a $1,000 Amazon gift card! You can also email deal tips to me at Dan@DansDeals.com, but please note that I’m unable to answer personal emails.

If we’re already getting your notifications, are we good to go? Just want to make sure this isn’t a special feed for Black Friday. Thanks!
@Thankful Reader:
Good to go!
Will you only be posting online deals? Or also ones that are in-store only. Thanks!
@Another Thankful Reader:
Nearly every in-store deal can be had online as well if you know when to look.
Dan, my phone is filtered so I can’t access twitter. Is there any other way to get SMS or emails on deals?
is it possible to get regular text mesages? don’t have a smart phone;(
@Moe: sigh…

I’d appreciate any tips!
Any way to get these updates without having a twitter account? Twitter is very trief as all social media
@Nathan Bayley:
You need to login just once to set this up.
No need to visit it again afterward.
For some reason I don’t receive tweets anymore and I can’t find the drop down menu to get notifications…
When I click on sms link . Twitter says that the page doesn’t exist anymore?
