If you do any kind of SEO you’ll know that fast rankings and traffic is essential to any passive income online. You would also know that Keyword Research is an integral part of SEO. The big mistake most people make when ranking a site is they pick one word that meets the competition criteria and search volume and off they go. Then when they get to page 1 they wonder why they’re not getting sales. The reality is people are searching for really long tail keywords. Almost exactly what they want…and if you are doing SEO for a keyword you have chosen – then chances are that’s all Google is going to give you. What they won’t give you is the buyer traffic… Keyword XP comes with some amazing features and functionalities. The tool is the fastest keyword tool I have ever seen. It grabs hundreds of keywords in a flash and double clicking on any keyword will drill deeper and deeper. You can copy these keywords to your clipboard or check the competition level by seeing how many other posts are competing. And Best of all…It comes with resell rights – so you can take this tool – and resell it on your own blog and keep the cash

Using WooCommerce to Scale Your Store

WP Engine

Platforms like Shopify are great for launching a store quickly that you are managing yourself. But what happens when you're ready to scale? Ecommerce platforms are not one-size-fits-all and they come with their own strengths and weaknesses, based on the size, complexity, and the type of store you run. Whether you’re a small business that's ready to scale or a large business looking to accelerate growth, WooCommerce can take your store to the next level. In this conversation we will explore the pros and cons of WooCommerce and how it measures up to other eCommerce platforms to help you decide if WooCommerce is right for your build. Earn recurring revenue, simplify your site management, and continuously showcase your value to clients!

Achieving Technical Excellence in Your Software Teams - from Devternity

Peter Gfader

Our industry has a problem: We are not lacking software methodologies, programming languages, tools or frameworks but we need great software engineers. Great software engineer teams build quality-in and deliver great software on a regular basis. The technical excellence of those engineers will help you escape the "Waterfall sandwich" and make your organization a little more agile, from the inception of an idea till they go live. I will talk about my experiences from the last 15 years, including small software delivery teams until big financial institutions. Why would a company like to be "agile"? How can a company achieve that? How can you achieve Technical Excellence in your software teams? What developer skills are more important than languages, methods or frameworks? This will be an interactive session with a Q&A at the end.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
