Hello guys,

I own subreddit dedicated to job searching where people are discussing methods, opportunities and tips & tricks for finding a job.
Sub have around 30k members with 2-3k visits per day. What would be the best way to monetize such a sub?

Any help will be appreciated ;)
 
Advertise on BHW
You are the owner of the subreddit? What countries are these members from? Is it a country-specific subreddit?
 
Affiliate marketing could work while you promote some actual jobs that pay you a fixed amount for each referral.

CPA offers.

Best to create one but if you cannot hook up with a network that allows that traffic.

My point of view that will be a BAD idea, Why? 1st he is dealing with smartass Reddit members, if he ever gets caught they will call him at th moment and maybe they unsubscribe from his sub, 2nd CPA is a one time opportunity, hit and run
But a site loaded with Adsense ads will be long term and he can even make a brand name, my 2 cents

Edit: OP you can even go and expand your network/traffic and advertise on LinkedIn as well
 
Build a site, create a few guides there. Monetize via Ads, Affiliate Marketing, whatever.

Then link one of the guides from the subreddit sidebar.

Also link to other places to disguise your url.

You must also build other backlinks, and content and more.

Done.
 
Sorry for late response guys I was on a little trip with girlfriend.

First of all thank you all for responses and some great ideas I really appreciate it, and I will try to respond to all of them.

Yes I'm the owner of the sub and I can't do a geo traffic analytics just "normal" one (or at least I don't know how to check traffic geo on specific sub if someone knows please share with me) but having in mind that 50% of Reddit traffic is from US and next 20-30% is from Canada, UK, Australia (English speaking countries) and my sub is in English I will assume that traffic to my sub have similar geo traffic as Reddit himself.
It's not country specific, but USA and Canada is only countries mention in posts and comments.

Yes, CPA/Affiliate was my first intent, since it's fast and easy :)
But I didn't find any Affiliate program in Indeed, and I was rejected twice in MaxBounty since I don't have website.
I have google some other CPA networks but they either didn't have any offers for this niche or they offers was not that great and worth promoting (at least I have come to this conclusion if someone have some specific CPA network in mind, please share with me)

And I have come to conclusion that I have to build website :)
I have found one offer on BHW for building job search website so I will take that website, write some articles, add link to my sub, articles will be added as post on sub as well, and then add Adsense.
After that I will try to get accepted on Maxbounty and add CPA offers also.
Maybe I will start a Journey and keep you updated on my development ;)

This is a interesting idea.
But there is a million of companies and I can't write so much emails :) Should I try with Staffing agency only? Is there some kind of list of them or I should just google it.

All in all thank you all for ideas and help!

BassTrackerBoats tries to put CPA everywhere. I dont know why.

OP take care of your English. I think you will have a hard time writing proposals and communicating with professionals at the moment.

Try Revenueads. They also have some decent offers in that niche.

Because CPA offers are a cash machine if you promote them properly; now you know why.

Hmm. It's true. The problem is you can't do it if you are detected. If you do, it becomes a battle and you end up making quite an average sum of money.

Which is why you have to do it in a way that is not intrusive.

I have been doing that for years on Facebook groups using a variety of niches.

I saw your fb cpa thread at the day it was posted. I went with adworkmedia + popular black hat niches. Ended up making some little payments (around $600 a month which was super low at the time for me). Now when I see facebook I doubt I can market anything there. But the hope may come back soon.

I admin about 20 or so groups and you can still market there.

You just have to handle things a tad differently these days as FB has made some adjustments but that is standard for any "method" we employ as IM marketers.

You are smart enough to come up with some ideas that would work if you had an interest in that media I am sure.

That's a different story now. If you admin something, you get full control over this stuff. Admin can do anything, create super absurdic rules and post virtually anything. I know illegal stuff is happening on facebook groups when they are properly managed and they are alive since years. The road block is in mind - I never wanted to own my own groups. But now it's clear to me power equals money.

Believe it or not. You can guide your users to never report any post - whether it's the admin group himself or facebook mods.
