It's Friday June 17th, 2022, and this is a look at the information security news from overnight. From HackerNews.comA potentially dangerous piece of functionality has been discovered in the Microsoft 365 suite that could help threat actors encrypt files stored on SharePoint and OneDrive. The attack hinges on the AutoSave feature, which allows a number of older file versions after users make edits. As the number is reached, the oldest file version gets deleted as the newest is saved. So attackers can either encrypt that available number plus 1, or reduce the number available to something smaller, like 1. Details and a link to the Proofpoint research in the article. From BleepingComputer.com:MetaMask and Phantom are warning of a new vulnerability called Demonic, that could expose a crypto wallet's seed phrase and allow attackers to steal any NFTs and crypto stored there. It is caused by how web browsers save contents of non-password fields as part of a standard “restore session”. Browser wallet extensions, such as Metamask, Phantom, and Brave, use an input field that is not designated as a password field, so the recovery phrase is saved in plain text form. MetaMask and Phantom have both patched the flaw, however, no word yet from Brave. From Infosecurity-Magazine.com:Researchers at CloudSEK have spotted a new phishing toolkit for sale across the various cybercrime forums. The “NakedPages,” toolkit is designed to run on Linux machines, runs JavaScript, is fully automated, and comes preloaded with more than 50 phishing templates and site projects. A link to the CloudSEK advisory in the article. From BleepingComputer.com:QNAP is warning customers to secure their devices against a new campaign of attacks pushing the DeadBolt ransomware. The company is urging users to update their Network Attached Storage devices to the latest firmware version and ensure they're not exposed to remote access over the Internet. The campaign appears to target QNAP NAS devices running QTS 4.x. And last today, from SecurityWeek.comThe WordPress Ninja Forms plugin, which helps administrators add customizable forms to their WordPress sites, has a vulnerability that appears to have been exploited in the wild. The flaw was identified in the Merge Tag functionality of the plugin, and carries a severity rating of 9.8. The Ninja Forms plugin has over a million installations. WordPress performed a forced update to fix the issue, but administrators are urged to confirm they are using the fixed version. That's all for me this week. Have a great weekend. Like and subscribe, and until Monday, be safe out there.

It’s another of chats in the series called the A-Z of WordPress where we attempt to cover all the major aspects to building and maintaining sites with WP. Today is F for... Forms. We expect most sites to have a contact form. Something that does not require the visitor to launch an email client, but there's so many other things that forms plugins have brought under their control. Payments, user registration, post creation and much more. We're also very lucky that the WordPress forms space is so competitive; so many great options to choose from. So today on the podcast we talk about forms, what we've used, what we like and what they can be used for. Go check out the podcast...

This weeks WordPress news - Covering The Week Commencing 27th April 2020

The Wordfence Threat Intelligence team unpacked the security updates in WordPress 5.4.1, and they published quite a few blog posts about vulnerabilities in popular plugins like Ninja Forms, LearnPress, and the Real-Time Find and Replace plugin. These plugin vulnerabilities affected over 1 million WordPress sites. As a few of these were Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerabilities, so we take a look at how these attacks work and how to avoid becoming a victim to a malicious CSRF request. We also look at more scams targeting COVID-19 fears and stimulus funds, and Google’s upcoming crackdown on Chrome extensions set to happen in August 2020. We also look at the privacy concerns expressed by many in the information security field about contact tracing initiatives by various companies including Google and Apple as well as governmental agencies.

Gutenberg isn’t a breakthrough innovation that made WordPress better. It’s a disruptive innovation making WordPress more affordable and accessible. — Mark Uraine, “Disrupting WordPress”A couple weeks ago I read Mark Uraine’s writeup about the disruptive role Gutenberg — the new block-based editor (and system of editor-extensibility) — performs for WordPress, the open-source juggernaut powering a third of the web. It nails why the WordPress community has been so hyped (and it’s in a language I speak):Why would anyone want to change this? The short answer is expressed best in the quote, “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.” Software must evolve or it becomes archaic and dies. This bring us to the concept of disruptive innovation, originally conceived by Clayton Christensen. Disruptive innovation describes the process when a more simplified product or service begins to take root in an industry and advances up the market because of its ease of use and/or less expensive entry point. … The great companies plan for this. In fact they make efforts to self-disrupt, or innovate in ways that cause their own service or product to be disrupted. … WordPress has reached this intersection.— and for many folks, Gutenberg represents that self-disruption. It is a shot of espresso. A spurt of vitality intended to make the sluggish, successful ol’ man spry. It’s a little bit of good magic that wards off the heebie jeebies.I think Mark’s is the best argument for Gutenberg there is. I’m also not convinced. I want to use “Disrupting WordPress” as an opportunity to demonstrate how to think about innovation, so I am going to start by putting the kibosh on the idea that Gutenberg is the saving grace the community around it thinks.Is Gutenberg disruptive? No - at least not like that.Product is a windowClay Christensen’s disruptive innovation is key to the point I want to make, and that is that we should be skeptical about the consensus assumption that what has to change about WordPress is the way content is created. I phrase it like this because Gutenberg really is more than a UI: it represents a fairly different content model beyond just how pieces of content are chunked together by end-users, but how that content is treated in the database, and how developers interface with all that new tissue. Moreover, the ad hoc governance that has organized around Gutenberg to help ensure its inclusivity and accessibility is functionally of greater importance than the Gutenberg codebase altogether. It makes sense that because there are plenty of usability studies betraying WordPress’s ease-of-use as a myth, that we-the-community target these usability problems with our innova-sers. Ease-of-use is a killer differentiator when you choose one product over another - but usability is flavor, not sustenance.Disruption requires identifying a misalignment between a person’s core job-to-be-done and the service they’re provided. The secret to winning the innovation game lies in understanding what causes customers to make choices that help them achieve progress on something they are struggling with in their lives. To get to the right answers, Christensen says, executives should be asking: What job would consumers want to hire a product to do? — Interview by Dina Gerdeman with Clay ChristensenThe product — and the features of the product — don’t fundamentally matter unless the user needs something that you can provide them. Is the WordPress user’s core job to be done to have a usable content-creation experience? No. It’s not even to create content in the first place. Rather, the core job of the WordPress user is to — for example — provide candle-junkies like me with candles, and make a living from it. “WordPress” isn’t really part of that function. It just happens to be the means to an end. The interface, the content, even WordPress itself are ephemeral. While easing the work involved in creating content improves a holistic user experience, it’s not enough. The reason Squarespace (et al.) has room to succeed in an internet dominated by WordPress is not because it has a better page-builder, it’s because for some users it is easier to envision their end goal met on the far-side of the Squarespace gauntlet. By looking at Squarespace, they can “see” their next candle-funded beach vacation.Product is a window.Broad applicability is a marketing challengeListen closely to the ubiquitous Squarespace ads on any podast. Right (!), they mention ease of page-building - but they underscore the reason why such ease is valuable: so you can be done with that page-building s**t and continue on with your remarkable life.The job-to-be-done is “to have a successful business.” Squarespace provides the service of getting you there faster with an easy page-builder. The page-builder is the how, and the ease is the differentiator - the cherry on top. People don’t choose the cherry, though. The Squarespace business model depends on how well they can match the job people have to the service they provide.WordPress has been successful precisely because its service aligns well with gajillions of jobs. This I think compounds the difficulty the WordPress community has in communicating meaningfully granular services that are afforded to alternatives. Specificity helps evangelism.Rather than 1 job to address (“you need to become a dope ass participant in the blogosphere?”) there are 30 million — the difficulty of communicating that job/service alignment at scale is a real obstacle.It is easy to imagine and vouch for WordPress’s wide servicability, but it’s hard to communicate to the individual who is choosing between it and Squarespace. Product is a window, and users’ vision through the WordPress window is a little obscured.This is, in part, why the ecosystem of professional WordPress development companies thrives: these companies, like Ninja Forms, identify a niche of jobs-to-be-done and serve them specifically.Tangent: seeing Ninja Forms in terms of job/service alignmentTo go on a brief tangent, the job Ninja Forms serves isn’t really the demonstrable need to manage web forms. They are facilitating people’s need to control how their users connect with them. Forms, and — specifically — forms through WordPress are choices about how and to what niche to provide that service.Consider then how WordPress isn’t spiritually part of the job/service alignment between the job-to-be-done of the Ninja Form user and the service provided by that team. They’re not really married to that platform, they just have a good working relationship. WordPress is an important technical constraint, but it’s a means to an end. It’s ephemeral.The WordPress community’s research problemBy increasing WordPress’s extensibility through new APIs, even by adding new hot-right-now features into Gutenberg, the WP core team are addressing the jobs-to-be-done of those professional WordPress developers more directly than any WordPress end user - who I’m arguing doesn’t really care about the ease of use of the editor (they care insofar that the editor doesn’t get in their way).And why is that? Well, I think it’s because developers are WordPress’s strongest feedback loop. Mark Uraine even made a comment about how usability studies revealed pain points in WordPress’s editor, but I haven’t been convinced otherwise that the WordPress core decision makers have anything other than usability studies about existing features.Problem.Usability studies reveal touchpoints in a user journey that need to be addressed. A tree needs to be moved off the sidewalk, or a pothole needs to be filled. But usability studies don’t question whether the user should be on this path in the first place.Disruption, after all, is born from Insight. Insight is the byproduct of strong research, particularly around users’ jobs-to-be-done, and I just don’t think the WordPress community has any of that. If they did, I frankly think folks would be less hyped about Gutenberg.Gutenberg is fine. The work there is about addressing the need to reduce in WordPress the number of steps between the user and their published content. That’s the right move to support a status quo.It’s not disruptive. It disrupts nothing. It improves existing.This past year has seen remarkable and laudable collaboration around governance and accessibility in WordPress, which are the right foci that address real problems around the community, its users, and inclusivity. The next WordPress community movement should be around establishing a strong research program that can provide the research-derived Insight necessary for WordPress’s future.Without sufficient qualitative research, don’t expect WordPress to self-disrupt any time soon.Liking (❤) this issue of Metric helps signal to the great algorithms in the sky that this writeup is worth your time.

We discuss how to use WordPress form plugins with your learning management system website in this episode of the LMScast podcast with Chris Badgett and Ali Mathis of the LifterLMS team. Ali and Chris dive into what some of the differences are between the different forms plugins that integrate with LifterLMS, and what you should consider when choosing which one to use. Previously the only forms plugin LifterLMS could integrate with was Gravity Forms, but there are three new forms integration add-ons for LifterLMS: Formidable Forms, WPForms, and Ninja Forms.

Welcome to the Post Status Draft podcast, which you can find on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and via RSS for your favorite podcatcher. Post Status Draft is hosted by Brian Krogsgard and co-host Brian Richards. In this episode, I bring on James Laws and Kevin Stover -- cofounders of Saturday Drive, the parent company of Ninja Forms -- to discuss why they are entering the world of eCommerce. I found this especially interesting given the market dominance of WooCommerce for general WordPress-based eCommerce needs. Saturday Drive purchased Exchange, the plugin initially developed by iThemes and then handed off to A.J. Morris, with the intention of making a play for the eCommerce market, much like they did successfully once already for the somewhat-saturated forms market.

Introduction Rob and the guys have been busy cleaning house and merging businesses. Kevin gets a little crazy with the English language. Apparently he likes to verb his nouns. The Show This episode the hosts discuss mergers and acquisitions. I’ll just cut right to it; Jeremy is going to be joining Kevin and James at their company. They just dropped that on the listening audience and Rob at the same time. Kevin and James discuss acquring Ninja Forms plugins from collaborating developers as well as other software products within the WordPress space. Jeremy talks about purchasing coffee businesses and merging those with a software company, which makes perfect sense. Our Recommendations Jeremy recommends that you watch Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown episode about Houston, Texas. Normally, I’d make a joke here at Jeremy’s expense, but this is a very good episode of a very good show. If I asked right now what you know about Houston, you’d probably mention NASA or the Rockets basketball team or the Texans football team. Bourdain dives into the culture and diversity of eastern Texas in a way that you don’t always see. If you haven’t seen it, you should. Kevin recommends a podcast called In Our Time by BBC Radio 4. If you love to listen to old British people talk about history, you should check out this show. Personally, I think it’s really, really boring. Also, does Kevin need to take every opportunity to mention that he likes history and went to grad school? We get it, sheesh. If you wanted people to know that badly, you should have finished the PhD. James recommends an app for your mobile device called Google Photoscan that lets you take a picture of a picture so that you can archive older, analog photos. Rob recommends a podcast about two dudes who answer a random Craiglist ad and wind up doing a grown-up scavenger hunt. I know that sounds like the opening to a made for TV movie starring Liam Neeson, but Project SSA is about adventure and exploration. Adventure comes to those that say yes, or something like that.

Introduction I’m afraid I’m going to have a hard time finding good goof material this episode; the topic is philanthropy and how to ingrain that into your business. James and Kevin have been busy with an eCommerce plugin that they acquired recently. Rob has been having an awesome summer, because he’s Rob.Jeremy has been doing nothing but vacation, and he has another vacation coming up soon. The Show In this episode, the hosts discuss how you can build philanthropy into your business. Rob gives an example of how the Alderman Group is going to be donating their time to local nonprofits based upon recommendations from their current clients. Rob claims all the credit for this awesome campaign which he’s dubbed Tag: You’re It!. James and Kevin talk a little bit about how they need to be better at giving as a business, although they do give their time and some money within the WordPress community. Jeremy talks about how BonLife makes decisions about which local charities to support with their resources. TL;DR - Don’t let giving to local causes be an accident. Work giving into your budget and create a plan for how you’re going to decide which charities you give to. It’s ok to give to a charity and get something in return, like exposure. Our Recommendations I refuse to label this section of the podcast “Tips and Tricks,” no matter how much Rob calls it that. Deal with it, Rob. Deal with it. Rob recommends that you listen to the Be the Kind podcast. See that Rob? It wasn’t a tip or a trick. You recommended that people listen to that show. Of course, Rob is in marketing, so I actually expected him to replace recommendations with something like one weird old trick. Rob is like a walking Buzzfeed. Anyway, Be the Kind is a podcast about kindness and people being awesome to their local communities. You can find it wherever you find great podcasts. Kevin recommends switching to GitLab from GitHub for your code repositories, especially if you’re a business. GitHub. GitLab. Why do tech people have to make up so many useless words? I mean, the word get already existed. Not to mention that git sounds like an English pejorative. It’s like leaving vowels out of words to be clever; you don’t need to do it. Apparently the Hub of Gits took down the Ninja Forms code repository a bit too willy-nilly for Kevin’s liking, so he recommends controlling the server where your code lives. James recommends finding local charitable events that you can use as both a way of giving back and team building exercises. Apparently James raced dragons in a boat when he worked at Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union. That helped his team get closer together and raised money, or something like that. Jeremy recommends the site charitynavigator.org. Their tagline is: Your Guide to Intelligent Giving. If you want to check out how charities spend your money before you give, you can find lots of details at this site. Again, I’d like to make fun of Jeremy here, but I’m coming up a bit short on material.

Introduction James takes the helm again as the hosts dive into how they react to various changes within their respective industries. Time is divided between BR and AR, which of course means Before Rob and After Rob. If you’re in the 10%, you know what I mean. Rob’s been sending out lots of proposals, so if you’re looking for a podcast-happy significant other, send Rob a message. Kevin and James have been working on a new product/service that they hope to launch soon. As usual, Jeremy is not in town. He’s currently in an RV driving across the country on vacation. When he gets back in town, he’ll be around for a few days before going on another vacation. The Show Rob talks about Facebook Ad issues that his team faced recently. A big client had a lot of eggs in the Facebook Ad basket and was recently told that their ads could no longer run. The client represented a large portion of the business’s income, and so Rob and his team had to find solutions. Once again proving how evil Facebook is and how much better off you’d be just putting up billboards. Billboard advertising is the future! Think about all the free time people are going to have to look at billboards once cars begin driving themselves. Think about it! Kevin and James discuss the GDPR, a European privacy law that just went into effect and how their business has responded. If you’ve gotten a million emails telling you updated privacy policies, you can thank the GDPR. Ninja Forms added tools and functionality to help WordPress users cope with the new privacy initiative. Good for them; I don’t even want to be snarky about protecting my privacy. What I search for is my own business. On an unrelated note, I’ll be right back while I clear my browser cache. Our Recommendations Rob recommends that you get some skullmonkeys. Unfortunately, he doesn’t mean little crystal monkey skulls to sit on your desk. That would be really cool. But, no. Rob is referring to skullmonkey headphones, which he compares to “really broken in baseball gloves.” If you’ve ever picked up an old, worn baseball glove and thought to yourself, “man, I gotta have a pair of headphones made out of these babies,” then you’re in luck. If you wear contacts, Kevin suggests that you check out Biofinity contacts. He insists on referring to them incorrectly as “bio-infinity,” but they are indeed just Biofinity. Normally I like to make fun of Kevin’s recommendations, but these are really good contact lenses. I wear them myself, and I win staring contests with my five year old nephew all the time. James recommends a podcast about kindness produced by Rob called Be the Kind. It’s about kindness and finding good in a world that makes it really easy to focus on the negative. I’d say something snarky about that, but that sounds like the kind of podcast I’d love. I’m the most positive and uplifting person I know.

  If you have a contact form on your website...you need this tip! Be sure to check out your form on a regular basis to make sure that it is functioning properly.  It should be: emailing you the information when someone fills it out; AND saving a copy of that information on your website, too.  If you can, have it also send an email to a different email address. That way you lessen the chance of a potential client slipping being ignored. I use WP Forms on my site.  However, Ninja Forms is very cool, too.  These are both "plug-ins" for Wordpress based sites. Check with your web designer to see what might work best for you.  AND check it at least once a month.

James Laws welcomes Dustin Stout as his co-host for the episode, kicking things off by measuring the size of their respective Twitter followings. Dustin won, and so he should, given that he is a social marketing consultant who now sells a successful social media product, Social Warfare. If we could combine James and Dustin, at a genetic level, into one man, he would be called Justin. Justin Lout. As a young adult, Dustin left small-town Pennsylvania and headed for the bright lights of Hollywood to become an actor but, after a few years, became disillusioned with how the industry actually works (no mention of whether he met Harvey Weinstein), so, he went to work as Youth Director for his church. Determined to connect with young people on their own terms, he learnt as much as he could about the newly emerging world of social media. Inspired by meeting some of the leading lights in the social media space, he started blogging about what he was learning. This encouraged others to approach him for advice on how to expand their audiences and, after just a couple of years, he became known as one of the Ten most influential people in the space, opening the floodgates to work as a consultant, his own agency for a while and, now, his current product, Social Warfare. How Dustin got into the product space by needing to certain functionality for his church. James observes that both their businesses are similar in the sense that their church activities played a key role in their journey. They talk about Jesus Christ for a bit, probably a good bet that they’ll both get a sweet spot in heaven, while the rest of us will spend eternity screaming down in Hell, being forced to use Joomla. James shares his own minor acting experience, Dustin discusses how that sort of experience can help a lot in promoting your business. Dustin discusses his surprise and delight at the acclaim his blog has received, James reveals that Dustin’s articles are considered required reading within the Ninja Forms marketing team. They discuss the wondrous writings of Seth Godin. James, feeling guilty about the woefully neglected state of his own blog, begs Dustin to lay out his process for producing valuable content. Dustin’s Writing Process: Be cognizant of who you are writing for, and the questions that come up for them on a day-to-day basis. Be on the lookout for problems that crop up for other people, and take notes. You need a place to gather those notes, Dustin uses the ToDoist app. When reviewing those notes, he starts writing around the ideas he feels most passionate about. Write. Write as much as you can, don’t worry about editing, just cover as much ground as you can. Write to someone. Dustin writes to his wife, who is not a social media person, so, which has the beneficial affect of forcing him to avoid jargon. Then he walks away. Slowly. Like a cowboy. He returns later to edit it, just to hone it and remove mistakes. He uses Grammarly to help with that. He does some keyword research, using a tool called Ahrefs, and takes the time to look at other high-ranking posts covering the same subject, making changes to his own piece accordingly. While writing, Dustin leaves placeholder words for images he’d like to later insert in various places, so, his final step is to go find those images and, also, create the promotional images for the post, usually around 4 or 6 images per article. He uses the Coschedule marketing calendar to plan out 30 days of social media promotion, and he has written an article, link below, about how he uses it.   Dustin says that many SEO experts believe that the most effective length for an article is over 2000 words, so, Dustin aims for around 2,500. The whole process, as outlined above, takes between 8 and 10 hours. The thought of spending that much time on an article almost gives James an aneurysm. James asks if Dustin himself losing interest half-way through,

Well, this episode was a real monster, containing plenty of chewy insights and nutritious facts on the realities of running a WordPress marketplace with add-ons by third-party developers. James returns and explains the sad reason for his mysterious two month hiatus, putting Donnacha’s gripes about relationship squabbles and man-flu into rather stark relief. James has a plan to get back into shape, because no-one who knows Jean is allowed to be out of shape. Donnacha agrees that having a friend like Jean, who possesses a perfect life, can be tough. James and Donnacha agree that a man who has no actual problems has no business being so wise. Fuck that guy. Donnacha compliments James’ studio design by calling him a twelve-year-old. The psychological impact of design upon performance. Spending obscene amounts of money on a microphone while children in Puerto Rico don’t even have lapel mics. Getting into the meat of the show, Donnacha refers back to last week’s episode in which he and Mark tore into the realities of WordPress add-on marketplaces, resulting in a decision to somehow trick James, who owns just such a marketplace, to spill the real dirt. Where was James’ business, Ninja Forms, when he and his business partner decided to open up and sell add-ons by third-party developers? How has that decision weathered the tests of time as the business has continued to grow? What are James' future plans with regard to third-party developers? How Easy Digital Downloads inspired Ninja Forms original decision to embrace the add-on model. How a tweet inviting developers to submit add-ons resulted in their first third-party add-on just two days later - the MailChimp add-on by Pippin. How writing an add-on that ties into a third-party API, such as MailChimp, might actually be ridiculously easy, especially if you are already familiar with that API. How that gesture, by a well-regarded developer such as Pippin, was a bit boost to Ninja Forms. How a marketplace allows you to have third-party developers expand the functionality of your product in return for giving away that slice of your future potential profits, and why that makes sense for a small business striving to achieve big things. Why it makes sense to integrate your product, as quickly as possible, with as many CRMs and other services as possible, because you get to tap into their audience, and how it would be near impossible to create that many add-ons without third-party developers. Why you can’t just hire some junior developer and have them spend all-day, everyday, banging out your own add-ons for all those services, and keep 100% of all those future add-on sales. The dangers of selling someone else’s code under your brand. What Ninja Forms expect from third-party developers, how the money is split, what their responsibilities are, and the level to which they must be familiar with the nooks and crannies of the services that their add-ons integrate with. The background of their most prolific third-party add-on developer. What happens when a marketplace relationship goes sour, who gets to keep the kids? The one add-on that James really wishes they had built themselves, but it is still a mutually beneficial relationship when you consider the bigger picture. Donnacha’s favorite Ninja Forms add-on, Videomail, and why he thinks its current marketing is a big fat missed opportunity for both Videomail and Ninja Forms. How Ninja Forms $499 Agency membership, which includes unlimited use of all add-ons, works out for their third-party developers. The difference between Ninja Forms pricing and Gravity Forms pricing, and why James could not have aimed for the pricing he did if earlier WordPress products, in particular Gravity Forms, had not laid the foundation, and how future products by other developers will, in turn, use Ninja Forms as a step on the path to even higher pricing. Donnacha’s experiment, comparing both Ninja Forms and Gravity Forms while producing a “min...

On today's episode, we're talking to James Law.  James talks about how to prepare your product for SaasS (Software as a Service). He is an accomplished developer who built Ninja forms in 2011 with his business partner Kevin Stover even though there were many form builders in that space. Matt Report - A WordPress podcast for digital business owners S5B: E6: James Laws of Ninja Forms on SaaS Play Episode Pause Episode Mute/Unmute Episode Rewind 10 Seconds 1x Fast Forward 30 seconds 00:00 / 00:38:09 Subscribe Share RSS Feed Share Link Embed Download file | Play in new window | Duration: 00:38:09 Guests : James Laws from Ninja forms is interviewed by Corey Maass and Sam Brodie. James honestly shares his experience in the forms builder space and where he sees the move to SaaS in his future. What you will learn from this episode: A business model and marketing strategy did not exist for Ninja Forms. (4:38) Ninja Forms was launched even though there were a lot of successful form builders in the space. (4:50) Ninja Forms was originally a premium plugin with a lifetime subscription. The lifetime subscription was honored although it was not a successful model for the creators. (5:18) In 2011 a light version of Ninja Forms was available with a pro upgrade offer. This was done to get a presence on the WordPress.org website. (6:24) Most users that use Ninja forms do not use everything that is sold with the plugin. This gave the owners the idea to segment the options and sell it through the EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) plugin. (7:33) James reached out the WordPress development community to offer partnerships with add-ons. (8:57) Pippin (from Pippin Plugins) built the Mailchimp add-on after reviewing the code base and signed on with the Ninja Forms partners. (9:15) The ecosystem for splitting the profits was set up using the Trello system. (10:25) Marketing a Move to SaaS: Struggles that people say exist in a saturated market may be a false standard. A saturated market proves that there is a viable market. (11:45) You need to look at plugins to service anyone. The plugin becomes a connector to the service. (22:18) Ninja Forms is looking to take a two-prong approach for SaaS.  If you are using the plugin in the WordPress space (it will function the same) and there will be a fully hosted SaaS version providing just the features that you need. (17:32) Build your product so that you can easily pivot. (35:15) Keep an eye out in your space and make sure you are watching what solutions are growing. (30:17) Be passionate about making the leap into the next space. Unique qualities of SaaS: Higher end hosting companies are starting to partner with businesses that sell and market software products. (13:56) The platform limits who you can sell to when you are concentrating just on WordPress. (15:33) You need to have a strong hosting partner that knows DevOps and server scalability well. (24:15) In a SaaS environment, you can control the interface that the client works with. (16:33) Branding becomes very important to get visibility in the forms space outside of WordPress. (26:30) The code needs to be written to exist outside of the WordPress space in order to expand the business. (32:40) The Ninja Forms partners are doing research with calls to other businesses to see if they can start with a wrap around business.

Does it seem like there are a plethora of Managed WordPress Hosting options available now? Probably because there is. And I love the fact that GoDaddy has stepped into this space along with everything else they're doing to support the WordPress community. Needless to say I was excited about talking with the person who is part of this movement at GoDaddy and is behind the scenes with one of the absolute best on-boarding processes I've seen when it comes to installing and getting up and running with WordPress. Gabe was a champ and we addressed the 'elephant in the room' so to speak (the elephant that GoDaddy has had a reputation for not being a top hosting choice). I'm a firm believer that regardless of past experiences, when a company makes a concerted effort and improves their products and services it's worth giving them another shot. And can I just say, HOLY MOLY... The efforts by the team at GoDaddy are pretty impressive to say the least. Questions I Asked Gabe: Before we get into all the WordPress & Godaddy awesomeness, can you share how you got into all of this? Apparently you taught yourself how to code while deployed in Afghanistan? Let's address the elephant in the room... GoDaddy has changed a lot (for the better). Before we get into how much has changed and the new WordPress experience you guys are rolling out... what made you guys decide to put more energy into WordPress? Can you share the evolution of WordPress & GoDaddy?  You shared a sneak peek of the new WordPress OnBoarding process for GoDaddy customers... all I can say is wow! It looks fantastic. And I love that you partnered with Beaver Builder (love those guys). Can you explain this new process to the listeners? Plugins: I didn't know you guys had plugins... as in plural. I've used the P3 profiler to test the plugin load on my site. Can you share a little more about your plugins & strategy? Do you have any favorite plugins? What's coming fro WordPress & GoDaddy? What You're Going to Learn: How the change in management at GoDaddy has stepped into the WordPress Managed Hosting space What GoDaddy needed to do fix their reputation What's included in the new on-boarding process New custom themes based on the customers market (ex: if an accountant needs a new site there are accounting themes) Free access to thousands of high quality, royalty free images searchable by category Beaver Builder lite is bundled in the on-boarding process New partnerships coming (Yoast, Ninja Forms & more to come) ... and more features coming to make the initial installation and set up that much easier What GoDaddy does to choose their partners for what comes bundled in the on-boarding process Check out the new GoDaddy on-boarding in the video below:

Expressly laid out in absolute detail, this Episode is presented in QA format, as Jean inquires how James and his team took their existing product of Ninja Forms and released a complete rewrite successfully. As such, James gets quite candid about launching WP Ninjas' tremendously challenging work on Ninja Forms, with the release of their very own Ninja Forms 3.0. Covered are things like: the successes, stepping stones, marketing, feedback, the competition, and fear itself. Topics include: The epiphany that innovation is key. How rebranding & reimagining form building has led to WP Ninjas' sizeable achievement. Jean has James detail the time and monetary investment that went into 3.0 before release. The hefty and worthwhile expense of hiring a professional UI company. How to get in touch with people who provide such a service. How a mutual love of the classic comedian/actor/singer Danny Kaye sealed the deal on James' chosen UI company. The development & opportunity cost. Keeping existing users happy during 3.0's lengthy development. Predicting optimum sales "seasons" in the plugin community. Preparing for low income months. Fighting to battle toward continued growth in user base. How James made his peace with the anxiety of working toward something so important. James' hindsight clarifies the value of preparing a budget. Contrasting product revamps as an entrepreneur vs. the process of doing so under an investor facing potentially exponential loss. Understanding and quantifying support costs. How transparency can save face. The lengths James and team went to, to include others in the celebration of launching Ninja Forms 3.0. Building and harnessing anticipation. Timing is everything. The results of all the hard work The issue of having 50+ add-ons that had to work on the new schema. The positives of users being able to roll back to a previous build, should problems arise. Managing the inevitable increase in support load & prioritizing paid users. Defining and admitting failures. The fruits of their labor. James' advice for those going through a similar process. Seize an adventurous outlook and take risks. Never be afraid to ask "What if?"

Welcome to Episode 30 of Mastermind.fm! Jean is with us as always, and we welcome James back this week after a 2 episode break. Today Jean and James will tackle some updates on what is happening in the WordPress community, a bit of business related talk, and what James has been up to for the last couple weeks. Join us now for this week's Mastermind.fm! Talking Business If you've been with us for the last couple weeks, you've noticed that James hasn't been. He's been off monitoring the launch of the newest iteration of Ninja Forms, Ninja Forms THREE. It was a massive overhaul, a complete rewriting of the codebase, and required his hands-on attention during the launch period. Welcome back, James! On Jean's end of things, he's just released a major update to the EDD Bookings extension, adding compatibility to Easy Digital Downloads' own Front End Submissions extension. Both Jean and James give their take on the Apple Conference. Listen in to hear what they think! WordPress News GoDaddy Acquisition of ManageWP The buzz around the WordPress community right now is the GoDaddy purchase of Manage WP. The news has been met with a lot of mixed reviews both from people very excited about the acquisition and, on the polar opposite side, quite a bit of venom. GoDaddy of course is a major webhost that has recently broken into managed WordPress hosting. ManageWP is a smaller, focused managed WordPress hosting company. Both Jean and James see some real upside to the acquisition with modest internal reservation. Listen in to hear their thoughts and rationale, and what they feel the acquisition means for WordPress! Headway Themes News has been buzzing out of Headway Themes in the last couple of weeks about rumors of staff not getting paid and an uncertain future. While no one is absolutely certain about the circumstances, James' take here is a lesson in clear communication. The silence out of the company is breathing life to rumors. Hear the rest of the story, and more, in the podcast! Featured on the Show: Ninja Forms THREE EDD Bookings EDD Front End Submissions GoDaddy ManageWP Headway Themes

Welcome to Episode 19 of Mastermind.fm! This week our resident masterminds Jean and James will be talking about Wordpress.org. Specifically, the challenges and benefits of listing your plugin on WordPress.org, and some alternatives to it. Sit back and listen with us for a while while they parse the pros and cons! Show notes are below, but tune in for the full conversation! Mastermind.fm is proudly sponsored by & Publishing Plugins on WordPress.org Benefits 1) Feedback You can get great feedback on your work from users. With both a support forum and a review section, you can hear what your target audience feels about your product, and get a sense of where else you can go with it- share with a greater community and see how it gets used! It’s great material for considering premium features and testing the market. 2) Motivation There’s nothing quite like watching your plugin grow. The first notification that your repo is available, committing the first release and seeing your plugin go live - it’s exhilarating. The WordPress community is great, and getting involved in the positive feedback loop of the community can really drive you to do your best. Pain Points 1) Support When you have multiple plugins listed on the repo, it can be very difficult to manage support through the .org support forums. Also, even when you’re just posting something for fun or as a side project, support expectations from users can be very demanding in the forums. 2) Reviews There is no accountability for the rating system in the repo. Users can leave very poor reviews with no substantiation and there is no way to challenge that type of review. The moderators do an outstanding job of moderating and read every single review, but there is not a system in place to deal with unfair or flippant reviews. 3) Search Results There are known problems with the keyword search functionality in the repo. For example, searching for keywords related to RSS Aggregator or Ninja Forms such as “RSS” or “Forms” does not bring the most relevant results related to either product. This is an issue that is being addressed but still currently impacts the searchability of products. There is also very little rhyme or reason to the ranking of returned search results. 4) Measurables Active install data is very poor for giving you a picture of how many active installs you actually have. The reported intervals are too broad for accurate assessments, and there is no other data such as version number or type of installed sites available. An almost complete lack of measurable statistics in the repo means a 3rd party system is necessary for actionable data. Alternatives to WordPress.org Repo 1) For a paid product, Code Canyon is an excellent option. Pippin Williamson’s first products, for example, were released through CodeCanyon. They have a huge audience and it is a great place to test your market. 2) Another product's marketplace. For example, Easy Digital Downloads and Ninja Forms both offer marketplaces for premium add-ons to their products. With this option you don’t have to worry about coming up with your own ecommerce solution. 3) Managewp.org/plugins - same type of setup as the .org repo, but displayed in a visual manner with better search parameters. Also features new and trending plugins. 4) The Periodic Table of WordPress Plugins (plugintable.com) features the top 100 most popular WordPress plugins. This is something that you have to break into over time as opposed to listing yourself on initially, but is fantastic to have around when you get there.

Welcome to Episode 16 of Mastermind.fm! This week our masterminds Jean and James delve into the topic of hiring and support. Look for this week’s conversation to revolve mostly around support, and then turn to hiring next week. You’ll find a brief overview below as always, but be sure to tune in for the full scoop! You won’t want to miss it! How Can We Offer Great Support for a WordPress Plugin or Business? James kicks things off by laying out his philosophy on support: instead of looking at support as the inevitable thing we have to do because we have a product, look at it as an opportunity to engage with your customers. The goal of support shouldn’t be to close a ticket or end one conversation so you can move on to another one, but to build trust and relationships. Jean addresses logistics. As a beginning business, how much of your small team’s time do you devote to support and development? You have to manage setting priorities and scaling as your company grows. What’s the factors to consider in managing this aspect of your growth? It’s a reality for almost everyone. The ‘passive income’ of a plugin that doesn’t need support is a reality to varying degrees, but it’s tantamount to chasing unicorns. You need to plan for support! How Can You Plan for Support? In a nutshell, target and address top issues for your customers proactively. Look for gaps in your product: specific problem areas that users struggle with. Address these proactively. Implement a series of steps/troubleshooting guide/faq inside the support form prior to submitting it. “Intelligent forms” so to speak. Team Structure Support can, in Jean’s words, “quickly take over your life”. How do you handle it within your team? For James and Ninja Forms, a key quality in a support team is to act as customer advocates. People that can show empathy and relate to the customer. Someone who can solve a problem for the customer and, when warranted, come back to the development team and suggest changes. They’re not just ‘question answerers’, but team members that are actively engaged in shaping the direction of product growth. They are support-first hires rather than developers that handle support too. For Jean, the nature of his team’s work require developers in the support role. That’s a common arrangement shared by other organizations like Delicious Brains and MailPoet. This brings a high degree of technical know-how to the support aspect of the business. Jean’s team uses a three-tiered system for support where tickets are delegated based on the nature of the individual ticket and which developers are best suited to address them. Find a Help Desk Solution Email or form support may work ok in the very early days, but both Jean and James strongly recommend adopting a help desk solution early. Even a homebrew support method is going to be overwhelmed quickly by your evolving needs. Don’t be afraid to research and experiment with different systems, but look into a professional solution early.

Welcome to Episode 15 of Mastermind.fm! Today our resident masterminds Jean and James tackle the topic of having a successful WordPress plugin: from zero to success. Join them today and take a tour through the major attributes that a plugin business needs to become successful, from a pair of entrepreneurs who know the drill firsthand. We’ll outline them below, but tune in for the full story! Nobody wants to use your plugin. They use it to solve a problem! Attributes of a successful plugin business: Solve a problem Ooze quality in the way your plugin is built and coded Timing Team Get the word out Reviews & Relationships Extensibility Point 1 and 2: Solve a problem, but make it as pleasurable of an experience for the user as you can. Nobody wakes up in the morning excited to build a form for their website, but they shouldn’t dread having to do it either! Style your plugin so that it is tasteful and comfortable within WordPress. It doesn’t have to be a WordPress UI clone though- sometimes you have to think outside the box to solve your users' problems. Point 3: Is there a need to fill, and is there anyone filling the need in the way you are intending on doing it? A saturated market is a proven market with a clear need, so don’t be afraid to wade in with other large, successful competitors. The fact that the market is saturated indicates a clear need, just find your niche and fill it in an awesome and unique way. Point 4: Don’t be afraid to strategically add people to your team to help you grow and mature. Point 5: People have to know you’re there. The WordPress repo is a great tool for this. Build relationships whenever possible also. Point 6: The vote of confidence of other users and high profile community members is huge for growth. The role of Pippin Williamson in supporting Ninja Forms early on was enormous for the growth of Ninja Forms, for example. His vote of confidence added a lot of fuel to the business. You don’t necessarily want the biggest names (though Pippin is a pretty huge name in WordPress), but just well respected, honest members of the community Point 7: Build for potential growth. Build better and bigger will follow. Make your plugin extensible and easy to add to for collaborating developers.

Welcome to Episode 14 of the WordPress business podcast Mastermind.fm! Today Jean and James will be discussing total plugin rewrites. It’s an area they both have a degree of experience in, as both are either involved in or researching this strategy for their own plugins. Here’s a quick teaser of what they dig into on the topic. Tune in for more! Total Plugin Rewrites! Jean is currently discussing with his team whether they will be rewriting their plugin, WP RSS Aggregator. James and his team have been in the process of a complete rewrite of their plugin, Ninja Forms, for around a year now. The first thing to ask yourself before you begin: When should a rewrite be undertaken? Some things to consider: Can you still iterate on your current architecture? Is there new technology or new developments coming in that changes the landscape of your market? Recurring user problems Want to open the plugin to 3rd party developers (if not initially built to be extensible) Driving forces behind rewriting Ninja Forms: Mechanism by which we built the plugin simply didn’t allow for any other way of doing things. It was inflexible and the UI was starting to get cluttered. We wanted a new UI and new functionalities for our customers and users. Ninja Forms has handled the transition from the old plugin (2.9.x) to the new plugin (3.0) using a slow transition phase-in to select groups of users. The most current version of the 2.9.x has the new 3.0 code base, but it only unlocks under certain conditions. Certain checks are in place to make sure that a user with non-compatible extensions isn’t able to roll forward before they’re ready. There are also multiple channels for user testing and reporting without actually having dedicated beta testers. Reflections on the Ninja Forms Three process: Work as much behind the scenes as you can until you are ready to market Don’t put out timelines Don’t make promises too early Plan your marketing early but don’t start too early Particular challenges in the process Settings name changes and changing how they’re stored Addons need the same changes that core does, multiplying the work and adding challenges to upgrade routines used in core Handling customization in functions.php without breaking post-upgrade Handling user analytics in the transition from old to new Parting thoughts from James: Think about your user base, think about your code base, think about your team. What’s best for everyone involved? Consider all the different pieces, all the moving parts, everything involved. Don’t come to the decision lightly. Ultimately, do what is best for your users.

3 must-have tools that you absolutely need, to help secure yourself, as well your web site. TIP #1) What is the first WordPress plugin I install on every new WordPress site I create? Nope, it's not DAP. It's Wordfence. It's the #1 security plugin for WordPress, and I will not do anything with a new WordPress installation, until I've installed this plugin. And the makers of the WordFence plugin have discovered a vulnerability in the Ninja Forms WordPress plugin. So if you're using Ninja Forms, make sure you upgrade to the latest version. Takes just 1 click to do from the WordPress plugins section of your site. And if you are not using Ninja Forms, then you should consider switching to it, as it's a fantastic contact-us form plugin, with a lots of features like support for the new captcha from Google, auto responses, storing the emails online in the plugin's settings, just in case you don't get the actual email delivered, and so on. I have the link to the WordFence security article in the shownotes at subscribeme.fm/30/ And then they also found a vulnerability in Yoast SEO. That needs to be updated as well. I'll have links to all the relevant articles in the shownotes at http://SubscribeMe.fm/30/ TIP #2) And do you know what is the 2nd plugin I install on every new WordPress site I create? Nope, it's still not DAP. It is iThemes Security. Formerly known as WP Security. And there are a few features that both of them have, so you have to be careful not to turn those features on in both plugins at the same time. So here are some of the easiest ways to protect your WordPress installation: * Be alerted when an unauthorized user tries to log in to your web site: Like someone trying to log in as admin, or trying to use a username that doesn't exist, from an IP address that's not authorized, etc. * You can lock down the admin part of WordPress so that only certain authorized IP addresses can log in as admin * You can change the location of the WordPress admin login page to a secret page * Scan WordPress files - like plugin files and theme files - against the WordPress repository to see if anyone of them have been modified, because that's one of the easiest ways your site can become the target of a phishing scheme * Scan file contents for backdoors, trojans and suspicious code * Scan posts and comments for known dangerous URLs and suspicious content * Scan files outside your WordPress installatio * Lock out after how X number of login failures or remind-password attempts * Block IP's that access URLs that no one is supposed to access - like certain internal URL's * Hide the WordPress version * Change location of the WordPress admin login page * If you have the default username of "admin", then you can change it to something else with a couple of clicks * Change your WordPress database prefix - which is good to prevent an automated database hack-attack, especially if you have used an automated installer to install WordPress - these installers are usually provided by most hosting companies, and the default settings they use are not very secure. So there's a whole bunch of settings that these two plugins provide - WordFence and iThemes Security. And I'm in the process of creating a video that shows the entire set up. And then, there's one CRITICAL CRITICAL line of code that you need to add to your .htaccess file on your web site - this one is so critical, that without having this line, our web site DigitalAccessPass.com got hacked a couple of times a few years ago. BUT... if you want to know what that one line of code is, all I ask from you, is that you join my list, by going to subscribeme.fm, and wait a few seconds, you'll get a popup, enter your email there, and you'll be on my list. And I'll be emailing this one SUPER CRITICAL line, to you. And you must then add it to your web site right away. No charge. Totally free. Just join my list by going to subscribeme.fm. That's it! TIP #3) You should IMMEDIATELY change your password to all your webmail accounts - like Google, Yahoo, and Hotmail and your bank's web site. For 2 reasons. First one is that a guy named Alex Holden, who is the founder and chief information security officer of Hold Security, discovered that hundreds of millions of web mail accounts were recently hacked, and the hacker is selling these off online. Link in the shownotes at http://SubscribeMe.fm/30/ TIP #4) Use a browser tool called LastPass. There are a few similar ones - like 1Password and Roboform. If you already use one, then that's awesome. But if you don't, then it's really important that you use one - and I personally use LastPass. It's a free online service that stores your passwords in the cloud. Now, before you freak out, remember that all of your passwords are one-way encrypted with super-strong encryption, and the key to opening this encryption, is stored on your computer. So every time you ask their system for a password, this secret key stored on your computer is required before your information can be unencrypted. So even if their service gets hacked, the passwords they get will all be worthless without your secret key. There's a lot more to this, but explaining the technology is beyond the scope of this podcast. So just go with my recommendation - use LastPass. Do not store passwords in your browser. LastPass is available as a plugin for Chrome and Firefox and Safari. So even if you're switching browsers or using multiple browsers on your computer, like I do, then LastPass will help you secure and remember all of your logins and passwords for all of your web sites. One of the biggest issues I see when I do 1-on-1 coaching and membership site set up calls with DAP customers, is a lot of them will spend a whole bunch of time looking for logins and passwords. It is amazing how much time people waste trying to find their log in information for various web sites - like Paypal, Stripe, ClickBank, Aweber, multiple WordPress sites, Godaddy, web hosting control panel, and on and on and on. And using LastPass, you can share passwords securely with other people on your team, like your business partners, virtual assistants, developers and designers. And you never have to send such information by skype or email or any other insecure method. You just share a password from your vault with another LastPass user, and that's it. They get it through the cloud. Super simple, and secure. And the cool thing is, LastPass also has a location to store secure text information. So if you have other secure information that you would normally write on a piece of paper and keep in your bedroom locker, now you can securely keep it in your LastPass account, and now all your kids and spouse and lawyer needs, is the secret key to your LastPass account. That's it! Just one password to remember for all the important people in your life, just in case, you know. So get LastPass, and you will save a CRAZY amount of time, effort and frustration by using LastPass. And no, I'm not affiliated with LastPass and I don't get a single penny from recommending them. Same thing goes for WordFence and iThemes security. So those are the 3 major security tools that I highly recommend you install and use right away: WordFence and iThemes Security for your WordPress sites, and LastPass. And don't forget to change the passwords to every single online service - especially because May 5th was world password day, and it was created to remind us that passwords to mission critical services must be changed every now and then. And don't forget that one last piece of security super tip that I haven't given to you yet - you can get it simply by signing up for my list, at subscribeme.fm. Until the next time, here's a quick tip of the day: If you're using Chrome, search for Lastpass, and download the Chrome plugin. And set it up today, and every time going forward, every web site you visit and log in to, LassPass will ask you if you want to store the login information. Just keep saying yes, and you'll never ever use paper, or fumble and stumble for passwords ever again. Friends don't let friends go without telling them about SubscribeMe.fm.

In this show we welcome Donnacha McGloinn, one of the most prolific commenters across WordPress blogs. He has contributed to many discussions along the years and also helped WordPress product owners refine their marketing and products. In this particular episode we delve into the GPL, a topic which always stirs a lot of controversy and opposing views whenever it is discussed. We not only define what the GPL stands for but also go into some practical issues surrounding it and what prospective WordPress product owners/developers should be aware of. For example, people like Pippin Williamson have taken advantage of the GPL to encourage 3rd party contributions and improvements by putting all premium addons of his plugin AffiliateWP up on GitHub. Others have probably been impacted in a negative way by the GPL, such as the e-commerce plugin Jigoshop, although that case can be debated either way. We also talk about our own plugins, Ninja Forms and WP RSS Aggregator, and our own experiences with people forking our plugins or reselling them, and how this has affected our businesses.

Today we unpack a business model that perhaps has the most potential for your business, the SaaS business model. The SaaS, or Software as a Service, is full of all kinds of advantages and perhaps a few challenges, but you can't deny it's earning potential if done right. Join us as we discuss all of this in our final installment of Business Models for WordPress products. SaaS Business Model In the SaaS business model, the processing side of rendering the service is handled by you on your own server(s), and the customer or client accesses your service there. Sometimes the customer or client connects directly to the service, sometimes they install a product or plugin that connects, sometimes they build everything on your site then implement it on their website via a javascript snippet or similar for the service to work. Examples: Optimizely Akismet Optin Monster WordFence Manage WP iTheme Sync Advantages: The key advantage to a SaaS model is that it is not confined to a single space in the market such as only WordPress sites; it can be implemented anywhere, meaning you have reach into 100% of the possible market. With a SaaS model you have full control of your code base. Since WordPress plugins by nature are open source, anyone can take your code, relabel it, and sell it as a competing product. With the SaaS model your code is fully proprietary. Also with a SaaS model, you retain full control of your server environment. With a plugin, you don’t control the environment that your plugin is installed on. With SaaS, you control your own server environment and can optimize that environment to your service’s needs. FInally, gives you greater insight into how users are using your product: because everything is handled on your own site, you have full flexibility for A/B testing and observing how your product is being implemented. Disadvantages: Complexity, responsibility, and scalability. You need to maintain your own server infrastructure and ensure as close to 100% uptime as possible. Handling this task means you’re going to need a team behind it and likely a more expensive managed hosting plan. Marketing. You must be able to market outside of your own community. You have to be a great marketer or willing to invest heavily into marketing. Background: The SaaS model’s nature lends itself best to businesses with an already established team, knowledge base, support system, and hosting service. You can jump in new, but it is much harder than if you’re already established. Which of These Models Should You Begin With? There’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to that question, though it’s a question every fledgling business must answer. Jean and James have some good advice to help guide you into finding your own answer to that question: Consider beginning by building for an existing product (like Ninja Forms or EDD) or marketplace (ThemeForest, CodeCanyon) to see if the product idea will be well received by consumers. Be flexible and be ready to change models on the fly What are your goals? What kind of lifestyle do you want? Ask yourself this and the select the business model that will support the lifestyle you want to lead. What kind of initial funding do you have?

Dare I say it's easy to launch a product when there's a competitor in the wild? How about easier? It's one challenge to build a competing product and grow a business, it's a whole other challenge to create something new with no competitors. Today I sit down with Scott Bolinger and Lisa Sabin-Wilson to discuss the launch and future plans for their AppPresser product. If you're cooking up you own product or service that's scaring the bejeebus out of you — you probably want to listen to this episode!

You set out, sometimes on your own, to face the great unknown that is the market. Who's my customer? How do I reach them? How much do I charge? Let's say you wanted to launch a contact form plugin. You would look at Gravity Forms or Ninja Forms and see what they were up to. Your team would probably start by saying, “How can we make this easier?” or “Can we make a better UI?” Then you're off to the races. You've got a foundation and a blueprint to work with. Well, what if you don't have a competitor to base your version 1 off of? What if no one actually wants to buy your new idea? The greater the risk the greater the return. As for AppPresser, they have no model to work from. There's no standard for building iOS or Android apps based on WordPress because it doesn't exist — until now. In this episode, we're going to look at how Scott hooked up with WebDevStudios and why it's important to work with other teams on projects this size. A feat that I tip my cap to, as most folks charged with a startup idea want to control it all. I hope you enjoy this special episode with the team from AppPresser! Launching a product that has no competition If it hasn't been created yet – ask yourself why. Too challenging? Too costly? No market? However, if your gut is telling you to build this, here's a few methods that I recommend to test your market. I've talked about it in this post, but your first step should be to start growing an audience today. Take your idea and chisel it down to the most consumable pill to swallow. If you've got plans for every feature and every platform, pick the most popular and roll with that. Start the elevator pitch to friends, family and your Twitter following. If no one gets it or isn't too convinced, throw it back in the oven. You don't want to launch half baked. If you can't put it into words, try using a presentation or video demonstration using Screenflow. Slideshows with big simlpe text and keywords work great. If you can't dive into code right away, simulate your clicks or product screens using animation. This is another great way to demonstrate a walk through without having to actually code something. It's all about the pitch and presentation when you don't have a similar competitor to tackle. “We're just like Easy Digital Downloads, but easier!” Imagine that, but you get my point.
