Hey everyone,
I've recently launched a job board ( new domain) — but it's a job board with a bit of a twist (which I can't fully reveal here for obvious reasons ). I'm trying to grow it without much of a budget, so I'm hoping to tap into the collective wisdom here.
I'd really appreciate any advice on a few fronts:
Free marketing methods – What channels have actually worked for you when starting out with zero ad spend? Things like community building, social media, partnerships, content, etc. I'm open to anything that's brought in real results.
Early revenue – For those who've run job boards (or similar platforms), how did you start monetizing in the early days? Paid listings, featured posts, employer subscriptions, affiliate deals? I'd love to know what worked when traffic was still small.
SEO & traffic growth – This is a big one for me. Any tips on keyword strategy, getting indexed faster, building backlinks, or structuring job pages for search visibility would be hugely helpful. Lessons learned (and mistakes to avoid) are all welcome.
If you've been through this yourself, I'd love to hear your story. And if you know someone in the community who's good with any of this, feel free to tag them in the thread so they can chip in too.
Thanks in advance — really appreciate any guidance you can share.
