Plugged Into Programming - From WordPress Plugins To Micro SaaS

Shownotes Transcript

MicroSaaS is a type of Software-as-a-Service product, and today's show looks at the pros and cons of creating one as your business model.  This is part of a series looking at 7 different types of products that can be built using the WordPress Plugin Programming Framework.  This is what we focus on at wpPluginCollege.com) with our shows and courses.

MicroSaaS are specifically engineered to be built and operated by a solo-founder or perhaps a tiny team.  It is often the choice for those seeking to build a sustainable, lifestyle business.  They can also be scaled larger if circumstances dictate. I feel that this presents a lot of cool opportunities to programmers and founders who are bootstrapping and need to go after a tightly niche market.

We use SWOT analysis to take an objective look from the solo-programmer or solo-founder's perspective.
