In less than a day, by following this tutorial, you will be able to earn thousands of dollars per month by starting a SAAS online business. we shall explain step by step how to start your own SAAS online business in this article.
What is a SAAS service?
Software As A Service or SAAS is an online service or online software that you pay for to use. This does not mean you have to pay for every SAAS service, Gmail for example is one of the free SAAS services and Mailchimp.com shown below is a SAAS service that provides email marketing services that you pay for.
In the past few years, more and more companies have been turning to online operations in order to cut costs and increase productivity. In doing so, they prefer to use an IT infrastructure that is maintained by someone else instead of keeping it themselves or using their own staff members for maintenance purposes.
They typically do not have a large staff because their resources are limited by the type of product or service they offer.
The good news is that today, there are many companies that provide SAAS services and most of them charge relatively affordable plans to their customers, who do not need costly hardware and trained employees for maintenance purposes.
Advantages and disadvantages of SAAS Services
Working with an on-demand company has both advantages and disadvantages. First of all, they offer most features that standard software packages have, but access to them is delivered via the Internet instead of physically installing it on your computer hard drive.
All you need in order to use the program is an Internet connection. Furthermore, most providers offer flexible license agreements which allow you to pay monthly according to your needs (e.g., if your business requires more storage space you can pay more if it doesn’t need much you will only pay for what is actually used).
On the other hand, because all features are available via the Internet, speed and access capacity depend on your connection. Also, for some services you might not be able to use certain features offline.
This problem has been solved though by many companies that offer SAAS service software that allows working with documents even without an online link (or at least enables users to work with them offline and then synchronize the changes with the SAAS provider’s server when they get back online).
So there are many advantages of using this type of business model. However, one should also be aware of potential problems before jumping to conclusion that this is necessary.

Another example is Microsoft Office 365, online software that offers Microsoft productivity applications such as Excel, Powerpoint, and Word. Like Mailchimp, Office 365 is an online service that you can pay for, so it’s called a SAAS service.
