Software as a Service (SaaS) is an incredibly vibrant, pioneering industry — and one of the most fluid.
It’s now also extremely competitive. There isn’t much room for 100 percent original solutions; merely attempting to “get there first” and sell a unique SaaS business before maturity is no longer a reliable strategy…
There will always be another fresh, subscription-based startup that offers a similar service.
So, how do you overcome this saturation…?
#1) Enter the right market (with a validated product that solves real problems)
and
#2) Do it better than anybody else
Here are seven SaaS marketing trends to consider for your 2018 growth strategy — while reducing churn and maximizing your recurring revenue.
Practical Website Security Needs: 5 Things you must do to secure your site webhostingsecretrevealed.net
Cybercriminals won’t care if your website is tiny, they use tools that run free testing every site they come across, simply collecting information. If they can’t use the information, they can always sell it to someone else who can.
Since most us do not physically own and maintain the equipment that we host our websites on, we’ll be looking at the non-physical aspects of website security. This involves two main areas; 1) securing the website itself and 2) securing the data that your customers provide to you. Keep in mind that anyone who visits your site can be considered a customer, not just those who are making purchases from you.
Building a WordPress site is a progressive process. You should always be on the lookout for new features and improvements that can propel your brand to the top.
One particular feature that you don’t always find in WP-powered sites is an online calendar.

Of course, they can also be added for their aesthetic value.
As always, you need to take extra care when integrating new plugins into your WordPress site. That said, here’s a list of the top five calendar plugins, their features, and why you should use them.
Twitter is crowded.
As of Q2 2017, the micro blogging platform averaged 328 million monthly active users. That’s about four times the population of Germany. Or 8x the population of Argentina. Or 32x the population of Portugal.
See the point? Not everyone on Twitter is interested in you and your products.
So, how do businesses effectively segment their audience; and reach out and market their products to the right person on Twitter?
2017 marks the rise of influencer marketing with companies big and small enlisting the help of prominent influencers to help strategize and promote their brands more effectively to consumers. With studies reporting that influencers can yield a 960% return on investment, it’s safe to say that influencer marketing is here to stay.
Despite exciting growth in the industry, we’re still at a point where diversity is still needed for brands and companies in their marketing strategy. With social media and digital advertising reaching a global scale, the need for diversity is absolutely necessary.
