Try to make money from potential employers, not from the unemployed. When they hire the unemployed, request a commission like all employment agencies do.
Most of the jobs boards will pay you to find an acceptable employee. Carrear Builder does for sure. You build your site, or landing page, or whatever, and direct the unemployed to leave their resume. If they get hired, CB will pay you a finders fee.
You an also head hunt for them.
Search for "job seekers affiliate"and you should find more.
For all you negative Nancies out there, as long as you provide a an affordable service that has value, you re not taking advantage of anyone, even the unemployed.
How are you "taking advantage" of an unemployed person when you write their resume? Seems to me that if they pay a few bucks for a resume that gets a good job, they got a hell of a deal.
In fact, I would say if your resume even gets an interview, you did them a huge service.
At lest you are not advertising a job on Craigslist and then sending recipients who respond to an affiliate link like everyone else does.
