    Building a SaaS based on Wordpress?

    HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    I agree with most of the arguments against that have already been posted. As a software developer myself I wouldn't consider WordPress as a base for essentially a bespoke product. I've previously been in a similar situation where I was asked to build a bespoke solution on top of a CMS platform...

    Another Slice of Humble Pie for 404, Failed SAAS

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    This would only warrant ridicule if you had not learned from this experience; which it seems that you have. I'm in the same position of having to go and find an audience; and the thought of talking to people makes me nervous, too! Thanks for sharing.

    (Radio interview) How to quickly get started in business

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    This is really helpful. Thank you. Thanks, Andy. That helps reinforce the point. There's some good observations in those two posts you've mentioned. I'll have to have a listen to your chat with SinisterLex as well.

    (Radio interview) How to quickly get started in business

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    So, I was on PM with Andy and he suggested that I listen to this interview. He asked me about my plans to drop the 9-5 and I replied with a load of waffle about what I am doing. I think now, having listened to this, that I was over thinking everything, trying to plan to do too much or indeed...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Hey Sean, I did have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering. How do you take payment? Do you send an invoice each month or is there an automated system in place? Do you have a minimum contact term with clients or can they stop using your services at any time? I'm guessing that your...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Awesome post! This literally reinforces some of the thoughts I've been having about setting up a digital agency. I was looking at bespoke software, but I think I could make this work as well. I was already considering how to get a recurring payment structure set-up. The other thing that I'm...

    Don't worry about selling your skill or time

    Just had a read. Thank you. I've seen some other posts that look interesting too! So, by impacting one person, by providing them some value, you're starting to build relationships that could reward in other ways in future, either by referrals or further work from that person.

    Don't worry about selling your skill or time

    This is a terrific thread, and a timely bump there, too. I'd convinced myself that I could just find a few hours here and there, outside of my regular job, to build a SAAS that would replace my income and then it would be safe to quit. I'm worried that I'll end up working on an idea for 6...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read Unscripted first. Absolute eye-opener. Could not put it down. Thought the writing style was spot on and found it a compelling read. As a result I've already made incremental changes to my life especially after reading the section on 'hyper-realities'

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read Unscripted first and thoroughly enjoyed it. Naturally had to read the millionaire fastlane after. I actually stopped reading a couple of books to do so. Glad I did, there's so much in the book to learn and understand.

    Software developer fed up of living the script

    INTRO 
    This is such a great reply to get on my first post. I thought 7 over 10 years was bad! It's funny but the times I've enjoyed programming the most was before I did it for a living; when I'd knock out tools that just helped people get stuff done - including myself. Naturally I assumed that...

    Software developer fed up of living the script

    INTRO 
    Thanks MJ. I think you're right. I keep hoping the next job will be the 'one', but it never is. Now I just need to decide the best way to turn my skills into leverage!

    Software developer fed up of living the script

    INTRO 
    Hey, I've been a software developer for 10 years and have spent most of those changing jobs (quitting, being made redundant and on occasion being fired ). I've always been looking for that next payrise to make my life better. Whilst they come they've never really had the desired effect. So now...
